Laying out injection moulding machines for liquid silicone processing has a long tradition at Wittmann Battenfeld. This type of technology has been used for many years on conventional machines and on the MicroPower, a machine specially designed for micro parts injection moulding.
On this machine, thermally homogeneous melt is injected via a two-step screw-and-plunger injection unit, with shot volumes ranging from just a few mm³ to 4 cm3. In this way, it has become possible to make top-quality parts in a stable production process and with short cycle times.
