Used Arburg Allrounder 470A: Sell or Buy at Auction

Arburg is a premium German injection molding machine manufacturer: known for the Allrounder series of toggle-clamp and hydraulic injection molding machines used across medical, automotive, electronics, and consumer products. Arburg machines are prized for precision, reliability, and the Selogica and Gestica control systems. Arburg's all-electric Allrounder A series commands particularly strong demand.

The Arburg Allrounder 470A is an all-electric injection molding machine from Arburg's Allrounder Alldrive (A) series. The 470 in the name refers to the distance between its tie bars, 470 by 470 mm, which sets the mid-size mold area that defines the platform, paired with a clamp force in the 110 US ton (roughly 1,000 kN) range. Servo-electric drives handle the clamp, injection, and screw movements in place of a central hydraulic system, and the clamping unit uses a position-controlled toggle mechanism for fast, repeatable cycles while drawing up to about 30% less energy than a comparable hydraulic machine. Most used 470A machines run Arburg's Selogica control, with later units carrying the newer Gestica control, both built for closed-loop, shot-to-shot process control. That mix of electric precision and a moderate clamp force makes the 470A a common choice for medical device molders, automotive component producers, and electronics and connector manufacturers running tight-tolerance parts in cleaner, quieter, oil-free production cells. At auction, the 470A draws strong interest from processors who want the energy savings and repeatability of an all-electric Arburg without the footprint of the larger Allrounders. KD Auctions markets these machines to its network of 500,000+ industry contacts, matching sellers with plastics processors who specifically seek out Arburg's German-built precision.
