We sent another original Engel controller to technical museum and install the new Keba control system instead
Retrofit of special unique Engel ES18000/1200C assembled especially for several kilo PVC fittings production.
Imortal Engel machine from 1987 with very low maintenance care, retrofitted with Keba system, still produce the 15-20 kilo PVC fittings.
Type: Engel ES18000/1200C
Year of production: 1987
Location: Slovakia
For a change, I would like to present retrofitting of several smaller classic injection machines, which we renovated last year
There are some situations when it makes sense today to retrofit and adjust also smaller horizontal injection machines (not only big, vertical or somehow special inj. molding machines, which we ussually retrofit).
If you don't get what you need from the IMM suppliers, you can retrofit an available older or new injection machine. Install new control system with your custom application. Simply adjust machines exactly according to your requirements.
Several Engel ES machines retrofitting - new Keba control system installation, additional mold heating and commissioning with inverters:
