At the K 2025 from 8 to 15 October, Wittmann will present to its visitors at its booth a wide range of smart solutions in the field of injection moulding technology under the motto of “Smart Choices — Smart Savings”. In line with the Group’s overall concept of “It’s all Wittmann”, the entire product portfolio of the Group will be presented for the first time at the K fair on common booth. The company will also be present at The Power of Plastics Forum, outdoor area E06, and on a partner company’s booth as well.

The highlight of this presentation will be the new Macro Power 500/3400. Although the machines of the Macro Power series from Wittmann Battenfeld have always scored by their small footprint and consequently modest space requirements on customers’ production floors, the new Macro Power stands out by even greater compactness. This has been achieved by a completely new design with a space-saving, one-piece machine body. The machine’s injection unit also comes with a new design and is now pivotable. These features help users primarily to save the valuable resource of time. Firstly, the one-piece machine body facilitates installation and set-up of the machine on the customer’s site, and secondly, the pivotable injection aggregate, accessible from both the machine’s front and rear sides, makes screw changes much easier. The new Macro Power is fitted with the Unilog B8X control system, which includes several control system components developed inhouse. These make it possible to reach a higher internal clock frequency and consequently shorter response times to sensor signals, resulting in a higher reproducibility of parts with the familiar ease of use and visualization. The Macro Power with a one-piece machine body will be available from the K 2025 onward in sizes from 400 to 600 t.

Another machine from the Macro Power series will be shown with multi-component technology. This machine, a Macro Power 650/2250H/1330H Combimould with a rotary table 1500 mm in diameter, saves space on the production floor, and that not only due to the small footprint, which is a characteristic of all Macro Power machines, but also on account of its two horizontal injection aggregates. On this machine, a foldable laundry basket will be manufactured from PP and TPR, using a 1+1-cavity mold supplied by ATA Kalip ve Plastik, Turkey. The machine is equipped with a Primus 148T robot from Wittmann, which removes the parts and deposits them on a conveyor belt.
