This Krauss Maffei CX is a used hydraulic injection moulding machine — sometimes referred to as a plastic injection press — dating from 2012 and currently located in Germany. Injection moulding machines are used to manufacture plastic components by injecting molten material into a closed mould under high pressure, and they are fundamental to industries ranging from automotive and packaging to consumer goods and technical parts. Krauss Maffei is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing injection moulding machinery, extrusion systems, and reaction process equipment for industrial and high-precision applications worldwide.
The clamping unit delivers a clamping force of 4,200 kN, with a platen size of 1,200 mm × 1,200 mm and a tie bar spacing of 800 mm × 800 mm. The minimum mould installation height is 380 mm, and the opening stroke measures 1,020 mm, giving a daylight (maximum platen distance) of 1,400 mm. The machine accommodates substantial tooling weights: the fixed side (DS) is rated at 3,350 kg and the moving side (AS) at 4,460 kg, with a total listed weight of 6,700 kg for the mould assembly.
The ejector unit produces a force of 95 kN with a retraction force of 48 kN and a stroke of 250 mm. No pneumatic ejector is fitted. The machine is equipped with two core pulls on the moving side and two on the fixed side, providing flexibility for complex mould geometries.
The injection unit is designated type SP 4300 and features a screw diameter of 80 mm with an L/D ratio of 22.5. Injection pressure reaches 2,205 bar, and the stroke volume is 1,810 ccm. Shot weight (PS) is 1,647 g, injection flow rate is 498 g/s, and the plasticising flow rate is 106 g/s. The nozzle radius is 12 mm, and the injection unit is armoured. A two-fold hydraulic cascade shut-off nozzle is installed. Mould cavity pressure and temperature monitoring is provided via a Priamus sensor system, configured with two pressure sensors and no temperature sensors.
Additional equipment included with the machine comprises a KM linear robot built in 2021 and a 12-zone hot runner control unit, both of which extend the machine's capability for automated part removal and multi-gate temperature-controlled tooling applications.
