Stork IMM All-electric Injection molding machines (IMMs) in this new line from Stork have clamping forces of about 276 tons to about 772 tons and injection units with screw sizes from 45mm to 84mm. They feature a heavy-duty rack-and-pinion drive that is highly rigid, energy-efficient and longer-lived, for the clamping and injection units compared to ball bearing and spindle drives. A braking energy feedback system returns recovered energy to the grid.
What’s new? The Stork IMM All-electric line, which is available now and will be featured at K 2025.
Benefits Energy savings of up to 15 percent compared to similarly specified hybrid machines, without sacrificing performance. The line is suitable for a range of applications for PE and PP molding, such as thin-wall food packaging, cups, flowerpots and paint buckets.
