Hoffmann Innovation adds Krauss Maffei MX Spinform
for Automotive Glazing trials

Krauss Maffei of Munich Germany, a world leader in plastics machinery has developed the MX Injection Moulding Machine range from  800 to 5,400 tonnes clamping force, making it the ideal solution for companies that need to process very large components.

The Hofmann Innovation Group in Lichtenfel, Germany with operations in 5 countries are a ‘full-service’ engineering supplier to the plastics industry,from prototypes through to production moulds, and operate a number of injection moulding machines for sampling purposes and small production runs.

They have recently added a Krauss Maffei MX 1600-8100/3000 W, two component Spin Form machine to their manufacturing plant. With a clamping force of 1,600 tonnes, this spin-platen machine can handle shot weights of around 4,900 grams plus 1,800 grams PS – enough for large 2-component parts for the automotive sector, such as glazing parts or panorama roofs.

Hofmann’s new purchase means that they no longer need to transport large moulds over long distances every time samples are required. This saves time and money during the mould optimisation process. Krauss Maffei continually work with their customers to develop machines and process technology that will assist in their production requirements.
