The injection moulding compounder (IMC) stands for innovation and a good return on your investment. It's groundbreaking engineering, successfully teaming up a continuous extrusion process with a discontinuous injection moulding process. It stands for a high return on investment - due to generally superior product properties and substantial savings in raw material costs. KraussMaffei's IMC was the first time compounding and injection moulding had been successfully yoked in a one-stage process. Since the IMC was showcased at the K1998, KraussMaffei has continued to develop and refine the process and to adapt it to new application areas.

The injection moulding compounder offers striking cost and quality advantages. It cuts the cost of materials, improves product quality, delivers high plasticizing performance, and by opening the way to customized compounding, it increases production flexibility and opens up new application areas.
