Next-Gen All-Electric PX Series At K 2025: Compact, Economical, And Built For The Future

Next-Gen All-Electric PX Series At K 2025: Compact, Economical, And Built For The Future

From technical components to medical technology and packaging: all-electric injection molding machines are gaining ground in all industries worldwide. KraussMaffei has completely redesigned its well-known PX series and will launch it at K 2025 with clamping forces ranging from 800 to 2,000 kN.
“It is the most modern all-electric injection molding machine in the world. We have made it more compact, more productive, and more sustainable from the ground up.” Jörg Stech, Chairman of the Management Board of KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH, is proud of the new PX. The development team achieved this through a new structural design with optimized arrangement of individual components, new servo drive technology with electric ejector, and a modular, space-saving enclosure.
Key success factors of the previous PX series have been retained. The particularly large tie-bar spacing continues to allow the use of complex and heavy molds. The wide support of the movable clamping plate guarantees perfect plate parallelism, and the linear guide ensures precise, energy-efficient movements. Energy recovery (recuperation) also remains an integral part of the PX series, as does high flexibility for a wide range of industrial applications.

More speed, less energy consumption
All main axes and the new ejector are servo-electric. This not only improves cycle performance in the new PX, but also reduces energy consumption by around 20 percent. For energy-efficient movement of mold core functions and cascades, the PX can be optionally equipped with a compact, servo-hydraulic auxiliary unit. Thanks to the space-saving design of the drive components and optimized machine topology, the machine bed has been shortened. In combination with the slimmer housing, this results in a 20 percent reduction in footprint.
Optimized mold temperature control and digital hot runner control
The options for mold cooling and temperature control have been extensively revised, for example through direct water distribution to the clamping plates. The reduced pressure loss allows the use of smaller temperature control units, which is an additional efficiency advantage. Customers benefit from a wide range of temperature control solutions: from simple designs to digital single-circuit monitoring.
With the new KraussMaffei hot runner control, overall productivity can be significantly increased thanks to digital functions such as booster mode, fault detection, and other smart features.

New MC7 control generation: More performance, more ease of use
The PX marks the launch of the new MC7 control system—a modern, web-based platform with intuitive operation, powerful architecture, and the highest safety standards. It already meets the future requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), offering increased protection against cyberattacks and enabling seamless digital connection of the machine. The new, web-based visualization concept impresses with its intuitive user guidance, clear display, and extended functionality. The interface facilitates setup, operation, and maintenance and increases efficiency in everyday production.
Visitors to the K trade fair can experience the performance of the new PX live at the KraussMaffei booth.
Perfection in the smallest of spaces: PX 80 as a production cell for technical applications
The new PX 80 with a clamping force of 800 kN impresses visitors to the KraussMaffei booth as a compact and economical solution for the production of technical components. The PX 80 production cell uses a mold from Wieland Electronic to produce electronic components made of polyamide. An LRXplus linear robot removes the components and places them on an integrated conveyor belt inside the machine enclosure. The CE-compliant system enables significantly higher production density: instead of four machines with linear robots, five systems can be operated in the same space.

PX 200 in cleanroom design produces medical components on a compact footprint
96 inner needle protection caps for insulin pens in just 4.5 seconds: the fast PX 200 for medical technology and a high-performance mold from KEBO AG make it possible. The PX is characterized by its high flexibility for use in clean rooms. Laminar flow boxes and conveyor belts can be easily integrated thanks to the modular enclosure concept – ideal for the demanding production requirements of the medical and pharmaceutical industries. With precision, productivity, and sustainability in a small footprint, this application demonstrates how the new fully electric PX is ideally suited for component manufacturing in cleanrooms.
With the new all-electric PX series, KraussMaffei offers its customers real added value: lower operating and energy costs, higher productivity, and maximum flexibility with minimal space requirements. KraussMaffei thus provides a future-proof and sustainable solution that is perfectly tailored to the requirements of modern manufacturing companies.

The emphasis will be on innovative advancements that allow for lighter and more intricate designs, satisfy particular needs in the e-mobility and E&E industries, or enable recycling to be used in difficult applications even at high temperatures. These include impact modifiers, thermal stabilizers, and highly effective flow improvers. Additionally, there is a novel additive that produces thermoset-like qualities, particularly at high temperatures, without sacrificing thermoplastic processing for uses like cable, polyolefin foams, and HFFR compounds.
Innovative Solutions for E-Mobility
Electric drives in motor vehicles are increasing the demand for connectors, battery systems, and charging infrastructure, with specific challenges regarding the heat resistance, flame retardancy, and electrical properties of the thermoplastics used. Brüggemann’s additive portfolio offers tailored solutions that OEMs and suppliers are seeking.
BRÜGGOLEN TP-H2217 belongs to a new class of electrically neutral heat stabilizers specifically developed for the requirements of E&E and e-mobility. It increases the continuous service temperature of reinforced polyamides to up to 8,000 h at 170 °C, setting a new industry standard without compromising tracking index (CTI) and flame retardancy.
Highly efficient flow improvers tailored to the requirements of various polyamides complement the broad portfolio. These include BRÜGGOLEN P1507 for aliphatic grades, BRÜGGOLEN P1810 for semi-aromatic grades, and BRÜGGOLEN P2201 for flame-retardant grades. Their addition enables lightweight, thin-walled, and complex component geometries without compromising mechanical properties. The resulting excellent flowability also supports high glass fiber content of up to 60%. Further advantages include shorter cycle times and the associated lower energy consumption.
In addition to additives for polyamides, Brüggemann is expanding its portfolio to include stabilizers for cross-linked PE compounds. BRÜGGOLEN TP-H2431 is a long-term heat stabilizer for applications in T3 and T4 cables. Supplied in pellet form, it is designed for exceptional thermal stability in continuous operation and is suitable for e-beam and Sioplas applications.
BRÜGGOLEN R8897, a new thermal stabilizer for PP-based PCR recyclates, is a new thermal stabilizer developed by Brüggemann specifically to improve the properties of PP-EPDM recyclates used in front-end applications. A benchmark in its class, it is based on an innovative chemical concept that enables particularly good retention of mechanical properties during long-term heat aging. Laboratory tests demonstrate a significantly improved level of retention of Charpy impact strength after heat aging.
Thermoreversibly crosslinked,
Compoback is an innovative additive for polyolefin foams, HFFR compounds, cable applications, and TPEs. Its addition results in high-temperature properties that largely correspond to those of crosslinked plastics (thermosets), while retaining thermoplastic processability for reuse and recycling. Safe and easy to use, Compoback enables a significant increase in processing efficiency without the additional crosslinking step. Its outstanding effect is demonstrated by the example of extruded, physically foamed PE profiles with a square cross-section. In laboratory tests, their surface area shrank by around 75% after 24 hours of storage at 100°C without stabilization. Compounded with Compoback and stored accordingly, the reduction was negligible – similar to conventional permanent crosslinking.
Broad portfolio
In addition to the innovations mentioned above, Brüggemann will be providing information at K 2025 about its extensive portfolio of property-enhancing additives for polyamides, which includes heat stabilizers, impact modifiers, process aids, flow improvers, nucleating agents and additives for polymer chain modification, as well as additives that improve the quality and processability of recycled plastics.

Pernoud To Demonstrate Bi-Material Multitube Overmoulding Technology At K 2025

Pernoud To Demonstrate Bi-Material Multitube Overmoulding Technology At K 2025

At K 2025, the largest trade fair in the world for the plastics and rubber industry, the French moldmaking expert, Pernoud, will highlight its new technological innovation, the Bi-material Multitube one-shot overmoulding process. This patented solution makes it possible to simultaneously mould two different materials in one operation, eliminating traditional downstream post-moulding processes and enhancing the efficiency of the production of tubular complex parts. The live demonstration at Hall 15, Stand B24 will be a key feature of the exhibition, where visitors will be able to see first-hand how advanced tool design and an integrated process can provide cost savings and quality improvements, with modern sustainability in mind.

The Bi-material Multitube process is designed to simplify and streamline the manufacturing of parts that traditionally require multi-step processes such as welding, adhesive bonding, or mechanical assembly. Instead of producing separate components and assembling them afterward, Pernoud’s one-shot system injects both materials—typically a rigid and a flexible thermoplastic—directly into the same mold. The result is a fully integrated, multi-functional part produced in a single cycle. This approach not only increases production speed but also guarantees a more reliable seal between materials, reducing the risk of leakage or failure, particularly in demanding applications.

Industry Applications: Lightweighting and Functional Integration
Pernoud’s technology is particularly suited for industries such as automotive, medical, industrial equipment, and home appliances where multilayer tubular parts are in high volume use. Automotive manufacturers, for example, routinely use complex fluid lines and air ducts that require structural rigidity coupled with functional flexibility. With the Bi-material Multitube process, designers can easily create complex molded parts with flexible soft sealing zones and hard durable connection zones in one mold. In medical applications, a catheter or tubing system can leverage dual-material construction to achieve both pliability and control. By creating these parts in one step, manufacturers create the opportunity to reduce total parts, decreased inventory and shorter assembly times.

What distinguishes this process is the efficiency of combining materials, but also the accuracy and repeatability of the final product. Since both materials are molded under controlled conditions simultaneously, the bond formation is much stronger than through secondary assembly processes, giving a functional integrity to the part and overall flexibility of design—engineers can conceptualize parts with complex geometries or multiple functional zones with little concern for mechanical failures or alignment of components. Moreover, because of Pernoud’s patented design of the mold, the interface between materials is completely sealed and can withstand any pressure, temperature variations, and mechanical stress while retaining strength and performance.

In addition to performance, the economics and eco-friendliness of this process are quite convincing. Avoiding post moulding methods of assembly such as gluing, ultrasonic welding, or manual assembly, reduces the labour force required, decreases the manufacture cycle of the final device, and conserves energy. There are also fewer parts, leading to a lower quantity of mould tooling, less transportation between stations, and less waste (material plus scrap). As global trends increasingly embrace sustainability and lean manufacturing ethos, the one-shot overmoulding solution from Pernoud provides a concrete means in advancing a company’s and industry’s sustainability goals, without compromising product performance or design flexibility.

Pernoud brings decades of expertise to this innovation. With more than 50 years in high-precision moldmaking, the company is known for its advanced tooling systems that support complex injection molding applications. Their molds frequently incorporate rotary indexing platens, in-mold transfer systems, and robot-assisted part handling, providing end users with reliable, high-performance solutions capable of operating 24/7 in high-volume production environments. The Bi-material Multitube technology represents the latest evolution of this engineering excellence—one that addresses both current manufacturing needs and future market challenges.

Live Demo at K 2025: Innovation in Action
At K 2025 visitors will see this technology live int action, molding a complex tubular part from two materials in a single cycle. The machine will have experts from Pernoud on hand to discuss the process, technical details like material compatibility and cycle times, as well as the unique tooling options available for these applications. This demonstration will be valuable whether you’re with a Tier 1 automotive supplier, a medical device manufacturer, or an OEM that is looking for production efficiencies, it will show you how one shot overmoulding can help you re-think your manufacturing approach.

As manufacturers face increasing pressure to cut costs, reduce environmental impact, and deliver innovative designs, the Bi-material Multitube process from Pernoud offers a powerful solution. By combining functionality, precision, and efficiency in a single molding step, it marks a significant advancement in multi-material molding technology.

The handshake marks another milestone in the international expansion of the world’s leading trade fairs K, interpack and drupa into Saudi Arabia. There, the dynamic and multifaceted development of the Middle East economy can currently be observed in an impressive manner. The Riyadh Exhibitions Company is organising the Saudi Plastics & Petrochem and Saudi Print & Pack trade fairs there from 12 to 15 April 2026, with over 500 exhibiting companies from the petrochemical, plastics, printing and packaging industries. This rapidly growing quartet of trade fairs, whose number of exhibitors has risen by around 70 per cent since 2018, offers ideal opportunities for Messe Düsseldorf.

The new presence in Riyadh perfectly complements Messe Düsseldorf’s existing international portfolio – in the plastics and rubber sector with ‘K Alliance’, in the processing and packaging segment with ‘interpack alliance’ and in the print technologies sector with ‘drupa alliance’. The aim of the partnership is to actively participate in the growing economic momentum in the Middle East. Both partners had already officially documented their strategic cooperation in a memorandum of understanding in spring 2025.

Numerous points of contact for the Düsseldorf trade fair portfolio

Wolfram N. Diener, Chairman of the Board of Management of Messe Düsseldorf, emphasises the significance of this decision: ‘We are in the right place at the right time. With our commitment to the world’s fastest-growing trade fair market, we are strengthening our position as one of the most successful international trade fair companies. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are diversifying their economies, which opens up numerous points of contact for our broad trade fair portfolio and new potential for our customers.’ The fact that the economic transformation of the region is attracting increasing international attention was also demonstrated by a high-ranking visitor: His Excellency Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khorayef, Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, is currently visiting K 2025. Last year, he already got an impression of the international trade fair scene in Düsseldorf at drupa 2024.

High economic growth in the Middle East

This is reflected in the economic data of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. According to the consulting firm jwc, their annual growth rate of six percent until 2029 exceeds both that of the EU (3%) and the global average (5%).

Building on existing strengths: steps taken in the region to date

The current new business activities are not Messe Düsseldorf’s first steps in the region. Since 2007, K has had a successful partnership with ArabPlast in Dubai. Since 2019, Messe Düsseldorf has been driving its business forward with, among other things, the interpack alliance trade fairs pacprocess MEA and Food Africa Cairo in Egypt – the link between the Middle East and Africa. Since 2024, a new subsidiary has also been complementing Messe Düsseldorf’s global network – in Turkey, which bridges the gap between Europe and the Middle East. The offensive in Saudi Arabia is now the next logical step.
