1) Values refer to 230 V/60 cycles.

2) Values refer to 460 V/60 cycles for motor and control resp. 230 V/60 cycles for heating.
3) The load is symmetrically distributed on three phases. The specified value applies to the basic machine. Two cables are necessary (motor + heating).
4) A combination of max. injection pressure and max injection flow (max. injection capacity) can be mutually exclusive, depending on the equipment-related motor output.
5) According to EUROMAP for the basic machine (values in brackets apply to hydraulic accumulator technology)
6) Deviations are possible depending upon process settings and material type
The shown specifications reflect the state at the time of printing. In the interest of a continuous development of our products, we reserve the right to modify specifications.
