The ENGEL Group opens a new chapter in the Spanish market with ENGEL Spain. For the first time, the ENGEL Group appears at Equiplast 2026, on June 2-5 at Barcelona, Spain, under this name, combining its established local presence with international technology expertise.

At Equiplast 2026, the ENGEL Group uses several exhibits to show how continuous production cells can be used to improve component quality, output and resource efficiency and to specifically reduce unit costs.

Tie-bar-less ENGEL victory 120 for compact, automated IMD production

ENGEL Spain shows a fully automated production solution centered around a tie-bar-less victory 120 injection molding machine with 1,200 kN clamping force.

In applications with large molds and integrated automation, ENGEL tie-bar-less technology with large platens and free mold space plays to its strengths. This opens up more degrees of freedom in the design of the production cell and in many cases makes it possible to use a smaller machine.

In the production solution, a demo plate with an IMD decorative film from Leonhard Kurz is produced. The film is inserted into the mold via a film feed from Kurz, punched out there in a mold from Schöfer and then back-injected with Makrolon polycarbonate. The component weight is 48 grams, the cycle time 55 seconds.

A film overlap is initially created on the component. The finished part is removed by a viper 20 linear robot, which is fully integrated into the ENGEL CC300 machine control. The film overlap is then removed fully automatically at a milling station.

All-electric compact ENGEL e-mac 200 for high output in packaging

In a production cell with an e-mac 200 injection molding machine with 2,000 kN clamping force, ENGEL will show how high output and all-electric precision can be combined in packaging.

In this solution, oil closure caps made of LLDPE are produced in a 24-cavity mold with a total shot weight of 39.6 grams in a cycle time of only 5.5 seconds. To further shorten the cycle time, the parts are freely discharged onto an automatic Z-conveyor belt from ENGEL, which is also fully integrated into the CC300 machine control.

The production cell is consistently designed for high volumes with precise and reproducible production at the same time. Especially in multi-cavity applications with short cycles, stable process control is a key factor in cost efficiency and part quality.

ENGEL e-motion 220 for high-speed thin-wall production with IML

With a cycle time of only 3 seconds, ENGEL will demonstrate in a packaging solution with an all-electric e-motion 220 injection molding machine with 2,200 kN clamping. Thin-wall ice cream containers made of PP copolymer are produced in a 4-cavity mold with in-mold labelling (IML).

For processors, this means combining high output with stable process control and reproducible quality. This facilitates compliance with tight specifications and improves cost efficiency in high-performance production.

WINTEC t-win 6500 for the cost-efficient production of large parts

At the trade fair, fruit crates made from a BH381MO polypropylene from Borealis with a shot weight of 490 grams are produced on a WINTEC t-win 6500 with 6,500 kN clamping force in a cycle time of only 18 seconds.

The t-win from WINTEC is characterized by its robust two-platen design for applications with large molds and high clamping forces. High energy efficiency, a compact footprint and optimized maintenance accessibility reduce total operating costs.
