Plastimagen from 11 to 14 March 2025 in Mexico City is an important meeting place for players in the Mexican plastics industry. At stand 730 in hall D, Arburg will be presenting two innovative injection moulding machines: an electric Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric will be producing an exemplary component for the mobility sector, while an Allrounder 470 H will be demonstrating the benefits of hybrid machine technology in the production of a drinking cup. The Arburg experts will also be providing advice on all aspects of digitalisation and presenting novelties, e. g. regarding the ALS host computer system, the arburgXworld customer portal and the ARS remote service.
"The plastics market in Mexico is currently at a crucial point. Cost efficiency, optimised use of resources, increased production rates and flexibility are particularly in demand," Mario Rodriguez, Managing Director of Arburg Mexico, is convinced. "We are therefore presenting two exhibits whose advanced machine technologies lead to considerable savings and greater sustainability in the short and long term. We are also emphasising our position as a technology leader and pioneer of digital transformation and giving our customers the opportunity to experience first-hand that 'more than a machine' and 'maximum space savings' are more than just concepts, but tangible realities that drive innovation and efficient, future-proof plastic parts production."
Electric: Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric
The machine highlight at the trade fair stand is the new Allrounder 720 E Golden Electric. Sim in design and price - this is how its main advantages can be summarised. The high-quality machine technology includes a toggle clamping unit and direct drives from subsidiary AMKmotion. The electric injection moulding machine has a clamping force of 2,800 kN and is only 1,848 millimetres wide. It was designed in response to challenges such as increasing price pressure combined with rising labour, energy and material costs, ever shorter product life cycles and faster product changeovers. At Plastimagen 2025, a practical application for the mobility sector will be shown, which has been realised with the companies Kostal and Moya Mold Makers. Using the example of the production of indicator levers made from PA6-GF50, visitors to the trade fair will be able to see for themselves the high-performance, easily accessible machine, which can also be used flexibly in other industries.
Hybrid: Allrounder 470 H "Premium"
The hybrid all-rounders in the Hidrive series combine an electric, energy-efficient and precise clamping unit with a hydraulic, powerful and dynamic injection unit. Above all, they impress with reduced acquisition and operating costs, an optimised energy balance and reduced cycle times. The adaptable machines can be used in numerous industries, for example to produce household products or technical moulded parts. The exhibit, a hybrid Allrounder 470 H "Premium" with a clamping force of 1,000 kN, produces PP cups in Mexico using a 2-cavity mould as an example. A Multilift Select 8 linear robotic system removes the moulded parts and stacks them on a conveyor belt. The standard equipment of the "Premium" performance variant includes the "Arburg electromechanical dosing" (AED) function for longer dosing and the hydraulic accumulator technology with "Arburg servo hydraulics" (ASH).
"More than a machine" - comprehensive support
"As a reliable business partner, we provide our customers with comprehensive support. When you invest in Arburg, in addition to machine technology, you also receive automation, robotic systems, digital services and comprehensive after-sales support that is tailored to the individual needs of our customers," emphasises Mario Rodriguez. "This holistic approach is essential to mastering the complexity of the market and achieving sustainable growth."
Visitors can gain an overview of the comprehensive digital products and services at various stations on the exhibition stand. The Arburg experts will be demonstrating how the Arburg host computer system ALS, digital assistants and the features of the arburgXworld customer portal and the Arburg Remote Service ARS help to make plastics production smarter, more efficient and more sustainable.
