This isn’t a machine from their Hercule range (which is much much better, and is for example much easier to remove a purging…).
Actually, if I remember well, the Optim range was actually rebranded from another manufacturer.
So what is so good about that machine? Looks like it would be difficult to remove a purging from under the barrel through that door and servicing a heater band would be a nightmare. It would want to have a real good closed loop controller and hi-speed capabilities to make up for the other problems. The TC40 controlled Battenfeld was a good machine, and the Arburg and Netstal range isn’t bad either.
Is that the Hercule Billion Injection Moulding Machine? I work for Thumbs Up in Bury, Manchester UK. We use the Negri Bossi and Billion moulders. I fill the machines with Polypropylene and silvergate masterbatch. and to be honest, doing a colour change on them billions are a pain in the arse. what Masterbatch do u use, if at all any, and what Polypropylene do u use?
This is one of the reasons, why so many americans companies moving out of seas, the lack of safety regulations, the company I work for has been without an accident close to 15 yrs. thanks to the safety comitee than always put pressure to the owners on the safety issues.
I’ve been in IM for 25+ years as a mechanic, supervisor and manager. I’ve been in many shops in the USA that have machines that run with no safety switches or devices working. This is not a third world problem.
The shop I work in now had at least 13 documented safety switches bypassed 2 years ago when I started here as maintenance manager. I began fixing them immediately. A month after I started, we had an amputation accident due to a bypassed safety switch.
Yup , as everyone noticed door open.
In India , people even take out the parts without gloves , talk about tolerance of heat.
But the guys seem to be having fun working , with the music on. Is Engel a very good company , am vaguely related to the injection molding process.
If you idiots new what that miolding machine can do to the human bidy., they would’nt be cyling with the door opened, what is this video about anyway,how stupid some companies can be?
Looks like he’s having to close the door somewhat to getthe IMM to cycle. But it sure doesn’t have to stay closed forit to cycle. Yikes! And it’s an Engel, double yikes.

He is running in semi auto, and apparently it only requires a momentary gate closed signal to actuate

incredible !!!!
Why is the clamp on this IMM closing with the operator door open! What other safety systems have been disabled I wonder. Not smart.
