Engel has developed a line of high-performance injection components that provide an unparalleled combination of abrasion and corrosion resistance. The Marathon injection screws, tips and non-return valves are based on proprietary materials and processes.
The Marathon components have an increased working temperature range, up to 450C. According to Engel, these parts have increased life expectancy by over 100% compared with through-hardened products.
Because Marathon technology leads to lower adhesion between melt and metal than with alternate steel surfaces, these components offer a host of other advantages applicable to both high performance and commodity applications. These include: 5 to 8% higher plasticizing rate compared with hardened steel screws, less required torque and faster color changes.
The components are available exclusively on Engel injection molding machines.
