In today's manufacturing environment, processors are facing increasing pressure from rising energy costs, labor shortages and ever-changing market demands. Investment decisions can no longer be based solely on machine purchase prices. Manufacturers are looking for solutions that combine reliability, efficiency and ease of operation while delivering an attractive return on investment. Recognizing these market requirements, ARBURG has introduced a completely new machine concept – the electric ALLROUNDER TREND.
Unveiled as a world premiere, the ALLROUNDER TREND immediately attracted strong interest from visitors and industry experts around the globe. Developed specifically for standard injection moulding applications, the new machine series represents a practical and economical solution that addresses the most important challenges faced by processors today. With its combination of proven technology, user-friendly operation and energy-efficient performance, the ALLROUNDER TREND establishes a new benchmark in its class.
Designed for Today's Production Requirements
Modern production environments demand more than just high performance. Manufacturers need machines that are easy to integrate into existing production lines, quick to commission and simple to maintain. The ALLROUNDER TREND was developed with these requirements in mind.
The new machine series is characterized by a streamlined configuration concept and focuses on the functions that processors need most for standard applications. Instead of paying for unnecessary complexity, customers benefit from a machine concept optimized for productivity and cost-effectiveness. This approach enables manufacturers to achieve excellent performance while maintaining a highly attractive investment level.
Available with clamping forces ranging from 500 to 2,000 kN and with injection units in sizes 100 to 800, the ALLROUNDER TREND offers a broad spectrum of application possibilities. Whether producing components for electronics, consumer goods, technical parts or packaging applications, the machine provides the flexibility needed to meet diverse production requirements.
Energy Efficiency as a Competitive Advantage
As energy prices continue to fluctuate worldwide, energy efficiency has become an increasingly important factor in manufacturing operations. Reducing energy consumption not only lowers operating costs but also contributes to sustainability objectives and enhances overall competitiveness.
The electric ALLROUNDER TREND has been designed to deliver efficient and reliable production while minimizing energy consumption. By combining proven electric drive technology with optimized machine design, processors can benefit from lower energy requirements without compromising productivity or part quality.
For many companies, improving energy efficiency is no longer simply an environmental consideration—it is a business necessity. Every percentage of energy savings can contribute directly to reduced production costs and improved profitability. The ALLROUNDER TREND provides manufacturers with an opportunity to strengthen their competitiveness while supporting their long-term sustainability goals.
Easy Operation with the New Gestica Lite Control System
AAnother highlight of the ALLROUNDER TREND is the introduction of the new Gestica lite control system. Building upon ARBURG's proven control philosophy, Gestica lite has been developed to provide a simple and intuitive user experience.
Featuring a robust industrial panel and a clearly structured interface, the system enables operators to access essential functions quickly and efficiently. The intuitive operating concept reduces training requirements and allows even less experienced personnel to become familiar with the machine in a short period of time.
In today's manufacturing environment, where skilled labor shortages remain a challenge in many regions, ease of operation is becoming increasingly important. User-friendly machine controls help companies improve productivity, reduce the risk of operating errors and shorten setup times.
Maintenance and service activities have also been simplified, enabling processors to maximize machine availability and minimize unplanned downtime. As a result, manufacturers can achieve stable production processes and consistently high product quality.
Fast Availability for Greater Flexibility
In rapidly changing markets, delivery times are often a decisive factor when making investment decisions. Manufacturers need equipment that can be deployed quickly in order to respond to new projects and market opportunities.
The ALLROUNDER TREND addresses this requirement with exceptionally short delivery lead times of approximately four weeks ex works. This allows customers to increase production capacity rapidly and react more flexibly to changing customer demands.
Shorter delivery times provide a significant advantage, particularly for companies operating in dynamic industries where speed and responsiveness are critical to success. By minimizing waiting periods, processors can accelerate project implementation and bring products to market faster.
Positive Global Response
Since its introduction, the ALLROUNDER TREND has received highly positive feedback from customers and industry professionals worldwide. Visitors recognized that the machine concept aligns closely with current market expectations and addresses many of the challenges facing the plastics industry today.
At its world premiere, one of the exhibited machines, an ALLROUNDER 1000 e TREND, demonstrated the production of free-falling connectors for the electronics industry. The exhibit highlighted the machine's capability to produce standard components efficiently and reliably while maintaining excellent process stability.
The strong international response confirmed that processors are increasingly seeking practical solutions that offer a balanced combination of performance, simplicity and economic value. The ALLROUNDER TREND delivers precisely these advantages and therefore represents an ideal choice for a wide range of standard injection moulding applications.
