In the fast lane with a luxury car
It’s seen action in desert rallies, served as the Popemobile, and operates in crisis zones: the Mercedes G-Class. Since 1979, this rugged off-roader has also found fame among Hollywood stars and sheikhs, especially in its sleek AMG version. Key exterior parts like bumpers, fender flares, and more come from Osbra GmbH, which supplies OEMs with both injection molding and reaction processing – using systems from KraussMaffei. And the next production expansion is already on the horizon.

Live @Fakuma: The Turtle project
Light, shiny and with a sustainable message - this is how the little blue turtle, which is produced on an all-electric PXZ 121-380-180 Multinject in a sandwich process, presents itself at Fakuma. The core consists of mechanically recycled PC/ABS, the high-quality outer layer of chemically recycled ABS. Numerous features of the PXZ 121, such as the new sandwich panel or the new APCplus function, which now also uses individual material parameters, make the multi-component process even more efficient and economical.

MuCell in sight
These are currently pressing questions of our time: How can we noticeably reduce the use of material and energy in the production of plastic components, thereby reducing CO2 emissions and protecting the environment? At Fakuma (Booth A7-7303) KraussMaffei and its partners demonstrate how physical foaming can provide answers to these questions. The new MuCell universal screw enables a quantum leap with 30 percent more plasticizing performance - as does APCplus, which for the first time also ensures shot weight consistency with MuCell.

A family affair
Two companies located just 600 m apart (as the crow flies) are connected closely in every way: Michel Werkzeugbau AG and Wipf AG. Together, they supply aroma-seal valves to the international market. For these and other projects, Michel has invested in 13 new KraussMaffei machines (12 all-electric PX machines and 1 hydraulic CX) since 2019.
