...ith about 14mm screw diameters. The statement of Michael Koch, managing director at Ferromatik Milacron, is interesting in this connection. Due to the precision of the electrical machines mini-injection machine aggregates with screw pre-plasticising and piston injection, specially developed for such applications, are requested less and less.
