Focusing on reducing weight in the automotive industry, a new automotive center has opened in Germany. The Automotive Center Sudwestfalen (ACS) is equipped with an injection molding compounder from KraussMaffei that was set up as a JV between the region’s municipalities and universities.

The machine has injection molding capabilities and an extruder and these provide advantages that are particularly crucial for development projects say KraussMaffei. The injection molding compounder provides increased flexibility and enables a reduction in the material costs due to the fact compounds that can be manufactured on a case-by-case basis which is an important aspect of development projects. It also delivers good mixing efficiency, optimal part quality, high injection volume and good melting homogeneity says the firm.
