About this machine

This Arburg 420 C is a used injection molding machine — sometimes referred to as a plastic injection press — built to produce molded plastic components by injecting molten material into a closed mold under high pressure. Arburg is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing injection molding machinery for industries ranging from automotive and medical technology to consumer goods and packaging.

This particular machine is a two-component unit, meaning it is configured to process two different materials or colors in a single molding cycle, making it suited to more complex part production than a standard single-shot machine. It was manufactured in April 2003 and is located in Germany.

The machine delivers a clamping force of 1,000 kN and is fitted with two injection units, each equipped with a screw of 25 mm diameter. A spare cylinder of 18 mm diameter for the second unit is additionally available with the machine. The full type designation as specified by the seller is the Arburg 420C /60.

Peripheral equipment included with the machine is notably comprehensive. Nine mold heaters and nine temperature sensors are installed, supporting precise thermal management across the mold. One cavity pressure sensor is fitted, allowing monitoring of in-mold pressure for process consistency. Two hydraulic core pulls are integrated, enabling the use of molds with retractable cores for undercuts or complex geometries, and one pneumatic valve gate is also installed for controlled melt injection.

At the time of listing, the machine had logged approximately 36,684 operating hours. According to the seller, it comes from a production environment where maintenance and cleanliness were given high priority, with servicing and repairs carried out promptly by qualified personnel. Viewing is available by appointment.
