The Arburg Allrounder 520 is an injection molding machine — sometimes referred to as an injection moulding press — used for shaping plastic components by injecting molten thermoplastic material into precision molds under high pressure. Arburg is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality injection molding equipment used across the automotive, medical, packaging, electronics, and consumer goods industries.
This used machine was manufactured in 2021 and is located in Germany. It is identified as the Allrounder 520S variant, equipped with a thermoplastic cylinder and screw diameter range of 35, 40, and 45 mm. The maximum clamping force is 1,600 kN, with a mold clamping height of 250 mm and a platen spacing of 825 mm. Maximum injection pressure varies with screw diameter: 2,500 bar at 35 mm, 2,000 bar at 40 mm, and 1,580 bar at 45 mm. Maximum shot weight in general-purpose polystyrene ranges from 141 g at 35 mm up to 232 g at 45 mm. The machine weighs approximately 5,900 kg net and the heating output for the injection unit is 9.7 kW across five zones.
The machine runs on the Selogica direct control system at Technology Level 2, configured as servo-controlled with two control pumps. Control features include aXw Control ScrewPilot for the first injection unit, ejector pressure with proportional pressure and flow control, nozzle contact force that is programmable and controlled for the first injection unit, and injection speed with a ramp function. Eight programmable digital inputs and outputs are included, along with six electric mould heating control circuits, one additional heating control circuit for a nozzle or adapter, and four manually adjustable cooling circuits, supplemented by controlled machine cooling circuits. Automatic heater standby switching reduces energy consumption during idle periods.
The injection unit is fitted with a high wear-resistant 45 mm thermoplastic cylinder, a CrN-coated screw and non-return valve for extended service life, an open nozzle at 45 mm, and a reinforced screw coupling with multi-spline geometry in addition to a standard square-geometry coupling. A larger holding pressure pump is also included. The machine has been raised by 100 mm through increased vibration isolation elements, and the control cabinet is water-cooled. Continuous oil cooling and filtration are standard on this unit, and the declared sound pressure level is 70 dB(A) ±3.
A clamping plate set with 125 mm central configuration is included. The machine is equipped with a removal robot and an enclosure fitted with a FilterFanUnit to support clean operating conditions. The cooling water connection specifies a maximum water temperature of 30 °C, a minimum differential pressure of 1.5 bar, and uses a DN 25 connection. This is a specification-rich, recent-vintage machine offered in used condition from a German location.
