We have conventional horizontal machines ranging between 35-550 tonnes of clamp force, with vertical and rotary table machines with up to 160 tonnes of clamp force for insert moulding processes. Our 1500t Arburg vertical rotary machine is characterised by its ability to allow simultaneous insertion and removal of items during the injection process.
