Circular Economy
More than words. We help make you more environmentally friendly by listening closely and finding the right solution for you.
Our vision
For more than three decades, KraussMaffei has been involved in research and development on the subject of recycling. KraussMaffei machines can produce high-quality end products from recycled plastics such as recycled materials and biodegradable plastics. The company works with its partners and customers to establish a sustainable recycling ecosystem along the entire value chain.
"My vision for 2030 is: Circular Economy is standard in the plastics industry, we don't have to talk about it much more. KraussMaffei will have been a major driver of this development."
From bucket to A-pillar
At K2019, KraussMaffei was demonstrating how a bucket can be transformed into a MuCell-foamed A-pillar with fabric decoration: KraussMaffei used a twin-screw extruder and two injection molding machines to create a complete reprocessing cycle – transforming a bucket first into recycled material and then into an decorated A-pillar.
Expertise from three business segments
Under the heading Circular Economy, KraussMaffei is interlinking the expertise of its Extrusion, Injection Moulding and Digital & Service Solutions divisions - because the entire cycle can be tracked digitally, e.g. to record melting temperature, pressure or screw speed during extrusion.
With the extensive modular range of barrel sections and screw components, the ZE 28 BluePower laboratory extruder is a future-oriented machine. It also provides a significantly larger processing window for small batch production with the screw diameter of 28 mm, its diameter ratio Da/Di of 1.65 and high performance of 42 kW with a screw speed of up to 1200 rpm.
The PX series is the answer to your requests for more flexibility while increasing productivity. You can assemble your PX precisely to your production requirements from a wide selection of components based on a modular design.
Use to your advantage the first-class hydromechanical dual platen concept of the GX Series in conjunction with the single-piston injection system. Thanks to the modular design, the compact dual platen clamping unit can be individually configured with all available injection units.
