MX 850 injection moulding
machines produced in China
KRAUSSMAFFEI has been developing
MX machines made in China using
CleanForm technology certified
according to GMP (Good Manufacturing
Process) guidelines for the manufacture
of plastic products for medical and
technical applications in cleanrooms.
With the solution concepts based on the
CX and EX Series, KraussMaffei is the
world’s only manufacturer of injection
moulding machines to have already
successfully implemented several
cleanroom cells up to Class 5 according
to DIN EN ISO 14644-1.
MX 850 machines are ideal tools
for daily tasks in all industries. “Our
special solutions in injection moulding
machinery and high efficiency with
innovative strength were the main
factors in the last few years that
allowed us to successfully establish
ourselves on the Asian market,”
explained Frank Peters, vice-president
of sales at the injection moulding
segment of KraussMaffei. He added:
“KraussMaffei stands for top machine
quality, technical and user-oriented
innovation and reliable service.”
Multiplecomponentmachinesandlarge
machines with compression moulding
functions for the production of complex
components are used, in particular, in the
automotive and electronics industry. With
its MX swivel plate and compression
moulding machine for multicolour
television screen frames andwindshields,
KraussMaffei has positioned itself on
the Asian market just as successfully
as with the CX Multinject for multicolor
and multiple component applications
in the low and medium clamping force
ranges. Combined processes from
injection moulding and reaction process
technology, among others, SkinForm
or ColorForm processes, make full use
of the material-specific properties and
produce components with excellent
surfaces in a single work step. Haptic
requirements are also met, as well as
high-gloss lacquer surfaces.
One step ahead in terms of
cleanliness injection moulding machines
fromKraussMaffei offer ideal requirements
for successful production under clean
conditions. The CX Series was therefore
successfully certified according to
CleanroomClass ISO 5, ISO 14644-1 and
also, as an isolator principle, GMP Sterility
ClassA. “KraussMaffei has been a reliable
partner for many years for the medical
and pharmaceutical industries with its
CX and EX machines. The all-electric EX
CleanForm sets the highest standards
throughout the industry in regard to the
production of sterile components,” said
Dr Karlheinz Bourdon, vice-president
technologies at the injection moulding
segment of KraussMaffei.

Mechanical surface treatment
HEINRICH Kreeb GmbH is a producer of
tools for mechanical surface treatment.
These tools are used for de-burring,
grinding, matt finishing, brushing and
buffing of most materials.
The company’s range includes
abrasive nylon brushes that are
manufactured as circular, disc or end
brushes, and are used for the removal of
light or medium burrs (eg after punching).
Besides abrasive flap wheels for the
treatment of plain surfaces, the company
produces flexible sanding stars for the
grinding of contoured workpieces.
For de-burring, fine grinding and satin
finishing, Kreeb processes abrasive,
non-woven synthetic web. From this
raw material various items such as
flap wheels, discs and disc brushes for
grinding machines with planetary heads
or linear working units are made.
Brushes from Tampico, sisal and wire
as well as cotton polishing mops and felt
wheels for the achievement of glossy
surfaces complete the extensive range.
In addition to its manufacturing site in
Göppingen, Germany, Kreeb produces
in Haan, Germany, where the subsidiary
bi-flex Birkenstock GmbH & Co KG is
located.
