Compact Handheld Device for Casting in Small Batch Sizes


High Flexibility and Productivity
The molding machine from Schäfer is designed for overmolding hotmelt polyamides on technical components. This provides insulation and mechanical protection for specific assemblies, allowing them to withstand extreme conditions such as heat, dust, or moisture. The powerful machine is designed for maximum productivity in large batch sizes, making it ideal for applications in the automotive, electronics, and sensor industries.
Innovative Design
The low-pressure molding machine stands out for its modern design. Equipped with a direct-feed single-screw extruder and three heating zones, it is ideal for processing various hotmelt adhesives and unfilled thermoplastics. The compact and modular construction allows seamless integration into existing production lines, enabling efficient automation.
High Energy Efficiency and Quality
With a heating time of less than 20 minutes, the hotmelt molding machine is quickly ready for operation. The servomotor-driven closing device is adjustable so that the ideal closing force is used for the application, thus achieving high energy efficiency. Optical process monitoring is an optional extension for quality assurance in production.
Modern User Interface
The touchscreen control features an intuitive user interface for easy and safe operation of the molding system in different languages. Recipes for the various applications can be saved and called up again. The selection of different user roles and operating modes, as well as machine networking functions, enable flexible and modern process workflows.
Premium Hotmelt Materials
Our high-quality hotmelt adhesives are ideal for technological applications and offer a variety of advantages. They provide rapid curing, enabling efficient production. Additionally, they are versatile and can be applied to various surfaces. Their strong adhesion ensures high durability, while their high temperature resistance guarantees reliable connections in demanding conditions.
High Operator Safety
Operator safety during operation is ensured by a monitored safety device. Removing protective covers interrupts the electrical safety circuit, causing the machine to stop. The molding machine fully complies with European directives regarding mechanical and electrical safety, as well as electromagnetic compatibility.
