Injection Molding Machines

Used Engel duo 1000: Sell or Buy at Auction

Engel is a premium Austrian injection molding machine manufacturer: known for all-electric and hybrid injection molding technology. Engel machines are common in medical, automotive, and technical plastics applications requiring precision and repeatability. Engel's e-mac and e-motion all-electric series are particularly sought-after.

The Engel duo 1000 is a large two-platen injection molding machine from Engel's duo line, using a hydraulic clamping system rated at roughly 1,000 metric tons of clamping force, on the order of 1,100 US tons. Instead of building tonnage through a toggle linkage and a third platen the way Engel's smaller toggle machines do, the duo generates clamp force hydraulically between two platens. Removing the toggle and the rear platen lets it hold heavy tonnage in a shorter overall length and a smaller floor footprint than a toggle press of comparable force, while the widely spaced tie bars and large platen area leave room for oversized single-cavity tooling or multi-cavity molds that a standard toggle machine cannot take. That combination suits large-part production: automotive technical and structural components, appliance and equipment housings, logistics and transportation parts, and other heavy shots that need real tonnage alongside platen size. The machine pairs its clamp capacity with a large injection unit and an Engel CC-series control, the exact generation depending on the machine's age. Because a press this size draws a narrower, more specialized pool of processors than bench-scale machines, KD Auctions markets this class of listing across its full network of 500,000+ industry contacts to reach molders who can put the tonnage to work, with rigging, de-installation, and reinstallation factored into how the machine is positioned from the start.
