This Krauss Maffei KM C1 is a used injection moulding machine — sometimes referred to as an injection moulding press — dating from 1997 and currently located in Germany. Injection moulding machines are used to produce plastic components by injecting molten material into a closed mould under pressure, making them central equipment in plastics processing across industries including automotive, consumer goods, packaging, and medical manufacturing. Krauss Maffei is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in plastics and rubber processing machinery, producing equipment recognised for precision and engineering quality.
This machine operates hydraulically and delivers a clamping force of 1,500 kN, providing the closure pressure needed to keep the mould securely shut during injection. The screw diameter is 55 mm with an L/D ratio of 20, which relates to the length-to-diameter proportion of the plasticising screw and influences the melt homogeneity and shot consistency. The maximum shot weight is 476 g, indicating the volume of material that can be injected in a single cycle.
Further process-relevant specifications include a nozzle contact force of 110 kN, which ensures a firm seal between the injection unit and the mould sprue bushing, and a mould opening force of 86 kN. The mould installation height is 300 mm, defining the minimum mould thickness the machine can accommodate, and the opening width is 900 mm, describing the available daylight between the platens when the mould is open.
The machine has overall dimensions of 4.97 x 1.48 x 2.16 metres and a net weight, including the control cabinet, of 8 tonnes. It is noted to still be under power at its current location in Germany.
