With energy-efficient and sustainable technologies

At the Plast Eurasia in Istanbul from December 3 to 6, 2025, the WITTMANN Group will present to its visitors at booth No. 823 in hall 8 state-of-the-art injection molding technology including automation and auxiliaries. 

With over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 40 countries, the Plast Eurasia ranks among the world’s leading plastics trade fairs. This also makes it an important platform for the WITTMANN Group. The WITTMANN Group, together with its local subsidiary, WITTMANN BATTENFELD Plastik Makineleri Ltd. Sti., has been exhibiting at this fair for many years.
The company will be exhibiting two injection molding machines at the Plast Eurasia 2025. One will be the new, all-electric EcoPrimus, and the other will be a servo-hydraulic machine from the proven SmartPower series.

The EcoPrimus was first presented at K 2025. In the EcoPrimus, efficiency and economy are ideally combined. The EcoPrimus is a standardized model from the EcoPower series. It is the perfect answer to the current demands of the market, which is dominated by applications requiring only a small range of options. This machine comes with the latest-generation control system from the WITTMANN Group, i.e. Unilog B8X. The EcoPrimus has been released for sale from the K 2025 onwards in size 100, that is, with 1,000 kN clamping force. 

On an EcoPrimus 100/525, closing caps for medical applications will be produced using a 24-cavity mold with an unscrewing device supplied by HTW, Austria. The parts are removed and deposited on a conveyor belt by a W918 robot from WITTMANN, then passed on to a tubular bag machine from Ravizza Packaging, Italy, and packaged.

The second machine, a SmartPower 180/750, is used to produce an spectacles case from PP with a 2-cavity hot runner mold from the Turkish company ATA Dizayn with a cycle time of approx. 20 seconds. The parts weigh 48 grams. The parts are removed using a WITTMANN Primus 116 robot. A WITTMANN conveyor and a Dosimax VFS dosing device complete the system. 

The machines of the SmartPower series are suitable for a wide range of applications. The KERS system developed by WITTMANN for injection molding machines ensures even greater energy efficiency. Compactness and a high degree of serviceability, thanks in part to the swiveling injection unit, make the machines in this series particularly attractive.

Automation and auxiliaries

In addition to the robots and auxiliaries connected to the machines on display, numerous WITTMAN robots and auxiliaries will be presented at the Plast Eurasia as stand-alone solutions, too.

From its range of robots, WITTMANN BATTENFELD Plastik Makineleri will show at the fair a Sonic 108 high-speed robot capable of extremely short parts removal times and mold-open times below 1 second, as well as a selection of models from the Primus and WX series. For example, both the Primus 116 equipped with a rigid demolding axis for injection molding machines with a clamping force of up to approx. 300 tons as well as the Primus 126 and the new Primus 118 will be present at the booth. Moreover, the WX153 and the WX142 robots will be shown. All robots on display come equipped with the WITTMANN R9 control system.

The TeachBox of the R9 control system features a touchscreen and a very clear display with live 3D animations. Additional buttons with tactile feedback are available for highly precise control of axis movements and for programming. The QuickNew Wizard also simplifies programming. The animated program editor displays even complex applications in a very simple and clear manner and offers a high degree of flexibility and security thanks to the QuickEdit function. Commands can be easily changed and values entered while the general program syntax remains protected. Visitors to Plast Eurasia can try out the extensive visualization and programming options live on the TeachBox of the WX142 robot.

In the segment of injection molding auxiliaries, the company is presenting a wide range of WITTMANN appliances.

In the field of mobile material drying, the dry air dryers with two desiccant cartridges Drymax plus EcoDrive and Drymax primus will be on display, as well as the Card primus compressed air dryer. Also on display is the Drymax 300-EcoDrive series battery dryer, which features dynamic adjustment of the dry air output to the current drying requirements. The result is a significant reduction in energy consumption while maintaining consistently high drying quality.

The WITTMANN Group's expertise in conveyor technology is demonstrated by its versatile devices of the Feedmax series. This series includes conveyors for small to medium material throughputs as well as for complex systems with high throughput rates – the highlight of which is the Feedmax primus. Despite their compact design, the conveyors are made entirely of stainless steel, making them particularly resistant to abrasive materials. A sophisticated outlet flap system and interchangeable inlet nozzles with pendulum flaps ensure reliable and safe operation, even in demanding material distribution systems.

In addition, the Feedmax Clean central conveyor will be on display, which was specially developed for conveying recycled plastic material. Particular attention was paid to the effective separation of dust particles. A specially developed flow pattern based on the cyclone effect and continuous material circulation maximizes dust separation throughout the entire conveying cycle. The result is a separation efficiency of up to 80% for particles < 1,000 μm – within a single conveying cycle. By comparison, conventional conveyors typically achieve a maximum of only 10%.

The Feedmax S3 net single conveyor is presented for mobile use and short conveying distances.

A further item on show will be the E-Max 2 central conveyor control system, which is able to support the installation of material distribution systems with up to 22 conveyors and up to two vacuum circuits.

The extensive range of auxiliaries will also include a Gravimax 14 gravimetric blender and a Dosimax volumetric blender, as well as an RFID-monitored Codemax coupling station.

In addition, WITTMANN BATTENFELD Plastik Makineleri will exhibit an S-Max 2 beside-the-press granulator to represent the company’s large portfolio of granulators. This particular model is a screenless granulator rotating at low speed for energy- and cost-efficient grinding of engineering plastics, as well as styrene, acrylic and fiberglass-reinforced materials.

Last but not least, the temperature controllers on display will represent a significant cross-section of the vast portfolio of these auxiliaries. Technically demanding applications are completely covered by the Tempro plus D series. Noteworthy here is the extensive standard equipment of this series, complemented by further options in line with the market, such as a choice of different pumps. The exhibition also includes a single-circuit and a dual-circuit device from this series. At this year’s Plast Eurasia, the company will also show some devices from the Tempro basic series and a selection from its analog and digital range of flow controllers such as the Flowcon plus and the WFC.
