PROTECTION FOR COMPLEX COMPONENTS
Transfer Molding
Â
Transfer Molding is the ideal solution for safely and precisely overmolding demanding inserts such as electronic circuit boards, sensors, or electric motor components with thermoset or thermoplastic materials.
The process involves preparing and heating the material. The preheated material is injected into the mold using a special injection system consisting of a plunger and transfer sleeve, under controlled pressure. Cavity-near temperature measurements and mold cavity pressure sensors, in combination with precise control algorithms, ensure that each cavity is filled completely and without defects.
One of our areas of expertise is the precise control of core pulls for positioning and holding delicate inserts, as well as the exact synchronization of ejector movements in complex mold sequences. For applications with high demands on quality and reproducibility, we offer advanced solutions such as inductive mold heating for variothermal processes and real-time monitoring of the filling process using envelope curve analysis.
Whether dealing with complex geometries, multi-cavity molds, or demanding material requirements – our expertise allows us to develop customized processes tailored to your needs.

EFFICIENCY AND PRECISION FOR VERSATILE APPLICATIONS
Compression Molding
Thermosets stand out for their excellent dimensional stability, resistance to heat and chemicals, and electrical insulation properties – making them the ideal choice for applications such as light switches, sockets, electronic housings, insulators, bipolar plates, and closures for premium packaging.
Â
Compression molding is the ideal technology for precise and efficient processing of these free-flowing thermoset molding compounds. Extremely fast mold closing, rapid pressure build-up (4,000 kN in just 0.3 seconds), and integrated preheating systems ensure optimal material preparation and significantly reduced cycle times. Modern control systems with versatile data interfaces support automation and seamless process data documentation.
Â
To meet individual requirements, we offer solutions ranging from semi- to fully automated systems, including rotary and shuttle table machines, as well as complete production cells with part removal systems, robotics, and additional automation components. Whether for series production or special applications – our solutions help you optimize your production processes with precision, efficiency, and flexibility.
PRECISION, VERSATILE USE AND COST-EFFICIENCY
Spiral pipe
Our spiral pipe technology combines technical precision with exceptional flexibility, offering clear advantages over conventional pipe designs. With inside diameters that remain exact even with varying wall thicknesses – and pipe diameters of up to 4,000 mm – it is ideally suited for demanding applications. Uniform wall thickness distribution, combined with high dimensional stability and minimal internal stress, ensures long-lasting, reliable solutions. Thanks to its chemical resistance and compatibility with various thermoplastic materials, the technology meets a broad range of requirements.
Â
In the production process, a plasticized profile strip is spirally wound onto a temperature-controlled mandrel, with overlaps precisely welded using advanced joining techniques. After cooling, the pipe is demolded and retains its final geometry. Technological highlights, such as the integration of reinforcing materials like glass fibers, enable targeted optimization of pressure resistance while reducing material usage. By layering multiple windings or wrapping with corrugated profiles, different wall thicknesses, profile geometries, and stability requirements can be flexibly achieved.
Â
The process is highly automated and allows even special dimensions and small batch sizes to be produced cost-effectively. This combination of precision, material versatility, and manufacturing flexibility makes spiral pipe technology the top choice for engineers seeking customized, technically advanced solutions.
PRECISION FOR OPTIMUM MATERIAL PROPERTIES
Mixing and portioning
Leveraging our expertise in wear protection, extrusion and pressing technologies, we develop customized solutions for mixing and preparing a wide range of materials. Whether graphite, sand, cork, or wood – we integrate these fillers precisely into plastics to achieve optimal mechanical, thermal, or optical properties. Our processes ensure uniform material distribution and the highest quality for downstream production steps.
Â
Depending on the application, fillers undergo targeted pre-treatment and temperature conditioning. For example, drying wood before mixing may be necessary to ensure optimal processing. A key factor for product quality is the highly precise dosing and complete blending of all components. For specific needs, we also offer additional solutions such as screw conveyors for material transport or cutting units for generating exact material portions.
Â
Our engineers integrate advanced sensor and automation technologies to enable fully automated processes. This includes laser sensors for precise level measurement or robots for material handling. This combination of technological know-how and flexibility makes our mixing and dosing systems the ideal choice for demanding manufacturing environments.
