DEGUMA Mould Carrier Systems
Our expertise - Your strength
Since the takeover of the Kannegiesser-Mould Carrier program in 1999 DEGUMA is known as your competent contact for machinery for the plastic processing industry.
At our modern production facility we overhaul, modernize and even build new your production equipment
You will get everything from one source - DEGUMA!
Our system - Your advantage
DEGUMA designs and manufactures Mould Carrier systems precisely to your requirements - tailor-made, economic and compact!
Your advantages:
- Low overall height - no overhead cylinders required
- Reduced space requirement - compact design by convenient arrangement of clamping units
- Small size hydraulic aggregate - by using smaller pumps
- Low engery consumption - by separating travelling motions and maintaining of system pressure
- Reduced total weight - only the platens have to carry the closing forces
- Reduced floor loading - through reduced overall weight
- Reduced contruction costs - base unit, guide column, travelling unit and column connection
- Less hydraulic oil required - no need to shovel oil, smaller pipe- and tube diameters
- Reduced costs for transportation - thanks to low weight and compact design
Mould carrier systems by DEGUMA are being used in the automotive, furniture- and aerospace industry for manufacturing moulded parts made of Polyurethan.
We also buy machinery from these industries to modernize and resell them afterwards.
DEGUMA takes pride in the fact that we can call well-known companies our customers. For example, BMW produces some of the cockpits for its cars on machines made by DEGUMA.
Comparison of concepts
4-column-Mould carrier
| DEGUMA's system | Comparable systems |
|---|---|
4 clamping units directly mounted on platens Moving cylinders are hinged sideways |
Overhead traveling cylinders require more space due to increased height |
Range of applications
DEGUMA mould carrier systems are suitable for the following applications:
- RIM (Reaction Injection Moulding)
- RRIM (Reinforced Reaction Injection Moulding)
- RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding)
- LFI (Long Fibre Injection) - glass fibre reinforced PUR-systems
- GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic - fibre-plastic-compound)
- SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound)
- BMC (Bulk Moulding Compound)
Mould carrier systems by DEGUMA are being used for manufacturing PUR-moulded parts in the following industries:
- Automotive - and railway vehicle industry (spoilers, bumpers, engine hoods, fenders, interior linings, dashboards, consoles, head-rests, etc.)
- Fitness - und leisure industry (ski, snowboards, toys, etc.)
- Furniture industry (pad elements, armrests, seats, closet doors, drawers, etc.)
- Housing or lining parts (housings for computers, switch cabinets, etc.)
- Medical- and orthopedy engineering (various PUR-moulded parts)
