Liquid Silicone Rubber

Injection Molding

The processing of LSR (liquid silicone rubber) is challenging and calls for an injection molding process that is sophisticated down to the last detail. The SilcoSet technology from KraussMaffei sets new standards with regard to precision, stability and transparency and thus increases your cost-efficiency. 

Advantages of the SilcoSet technology: 

  • Safe, stable processing of low-viscosity material thanks to absolute platen parallelism
  • Exact shot weight consistency even with 256 cavities
  • Consistently high component quality and thus minimum scrap thanks to APC plus
  • Absolute transparency throughout the process thanks to digital solutions
  • Easy changeover from thermoplastic processing to silicone processing
