Largest injection molding
machine
The world‘s largest
injection molding machine
KraussMaffei supplies practice
In order to cope with the trend towards large components in MuCell technology KraussMaffei equipped
the world‘s largest injection molding machine with
5,400 tonnes for physical foaming together with
Mürdter and Trexel. This machine is the only way
to initially carry out compact injection molding of
large parts and then make a direct comparison with
the MuCell process. Large machines for tests and
small-series production are available in the TechCenter. In the nearby mold making department the
results are incorporated directly in the molds. This
saves time and money.

System supplier thanks
to strong partners
MuCell directly from the
system supplier
KraussMaffei has been successfully
using MuCell technology for many
years and is an important individual
customer of Trexel. The technology
competence is also underscored by
worldwide authorization for direct
MuCell sales. This means that
you can order your MuCell system
directly as a complete system at
KraussMaffei from a single source
- without any additional agreements
with third parties, without any
teething problems during the course
of the project and including all utilization rights.

Partnership with great competence
The entire application know-how for MuCell is
available with the partners:
– Mürdter: Experience in mold making for MuCell
and foam applications, also synchronized with
compression processes, and many years of experience in injection molding processing of MuCell
and foam parts
– Trexel: Developer and technology partner for
MuCell applications, as well as a consultant for
optimized product design
– KraussMaffei: Machine and system supplier of
process know-how and production systems.
Machines across the entire clamping range are now
