New energy-efficient Arburg plastic injection molding machine

We have expanded our machine park with a new, energy-efficient Arburg plastic injection molding machine. With this new machine, we are taking another step towards Industry 4.0. Individual products can be traced back 100% using so-called DM codes. In addition, codes can be applied that lead to a digital product passport, which enables separation. In addition, servo-electric drives and braking energy recovery ensure high energy efficiency and energy consumption that is up to 50% lower.

The data of the new machine:

Arburg injection molding machine
Type: 370 E 600 – 170
Tie bars: 370 x 370 mm
Shot weight PS max. about 105 g
with material suction and paint dosing device Koch
as well as parts conveyor belt

equipped with:
6-axis articulated robot for inserting and removing parts

Extension of our PV system

We have expanded the existing PV system on the roof of our factory in order to produce even more electricity in the future and thus make our own energy consumption as sustainable as possible. To this end, we expanded the existing PV system by 13.7 kWp in June.


FEBU goes electric

On March 30th, 2021, we added our first electric car to our fleet and built a charging station.

New 3D printer

New 3D printer that produces precision prototypes in the shortest possible time. The 3D printing processes we use enable us to build prototypes, design and functional models based on your 3D data. Even complex or very filigree shapes can be produced this way. We manufacture prototypes from various plastics.

The prototypes and models produced in 3D printing are particularly convincing due to their true-to-detail production, exact dimensions as well as their high stability and temperature resistance. Thanks to these properties, the functional models can be subjected to meaningful tests under real conditions.
