Braunschweig, Germany - Engel announced the delivery of its 1,000th machine with ecodrive. Volkswagen in Braunschweig, Germany, will be using this machine to produce dashboards for the Golf, Golf Plus and Tiguan models. Depending on the application and type of machine, hydraulic injection moulding machines fitted with Engel ecodrive servohydraulics realize energy savings of up to 70% compared to legacy hydraulic machines, thereby achieving consumption levels on a par with those of fully electric machines. This is made possible by reducing the loss energy during the machine’s idle phases, a factor that accounts for a significant part of the energy consumption of a hydraulic machine without ecodrive.
