ALLROUNDER S machines are a versatile hydraulic series from ARBURG, with a performance and universal suitability that enables them to cover the largest range of applications. The modular design of these machines, with several alternative hydraulic and electric options and different equipment versions, allow individual, cost-effective machine solutions. Thanks to their adaptability, not only are ALLROUNDER S machines able to perform a wide variety of different process tasks with all the familiar injectable materials, they can also be equipped in an extremely energyefficient manner. Therefore, machines with electro-mechanical dosage drive (AED) or the “advance” equipment package also bear the ARBURG “e²” energy-efficiency label.

The versatile hydraulic machine technology of the ALLROUNDER S can be matched precisely to each injection moulding task. This is achieved by means of several hydraulic- electric options, the wide spectrum of machine sizes with a comprehensive range of clamping forces and injection units and a great number of equipment versions and possible combinations. In terms of energy efficiency in particular, this extensive choice offers significant advantages. Use of the “advance” equipment package, for example, enables energy savings from 20 to 30 %. As a marking to indicate their optimum energy efficiency in operation, all ALLROUNDER S machines bear the ARBURG “e²” energy-efficiency label.

ALLROUNDER S machines can be equipped with different drives. As well as a serial machine sequence with one regulating pump, simultaneous sequences can be achieved with dual-pump technology, or independent sequences with fully accumulator-driven technology. This enables both shortened cycle times and high speeds or injection performance.

The ALLROUNDER S also offers several equipment versions in this area. Included as standard is injection control for reproducible mould filling and high moulded part quality. With the “position-regulated screw” (PRS) expansion stage, reproducibility comparable to that of electric machines can be achieved.

ALLROUNDER S machines can be optimally designed for work with all familiar injection moulding techniques. Equipment packages for specific tasks, such as Liquid Silicone Rubber processing, for example, make ALLROUNDER S machines exceptionally flexible and universal. In addition, the ALLROUNDER swivel concept enables the encapsulation of inserts, while the VARIO system permits linear, horizontal mould filling.
