ARBURG UK Anniversary Open House 2023

2023 marks a special anniversary for ARBURG as the company commemorates 100 years of the Hehl family business. To celebrate, ARBURG Limited is delighted to invite the UK injection moulding sector to our open house event, taking place on 17th May 2023 at our Warwick (UK) facility. This event continues from the highly successful 'Anniversary Days' exhibition recently held at our headquarters in Germany. 

Unique event tailored to the UK market

Visitors to ARBURG UK's Warwick Headquarters can look forward to exploring the hot topics of the UK plastics market, with expert presentations and discussions focusing on improving energy efficiency, saving money, improving sustainability, embracing digitalisation, and maximising your OEE.

Throughout the day, there will be plenty of opportunities to socialise and network with industry peers, with experts from ARBURG and its partners on hand to advise and educate.

ARBURG's latest injection moulding machine, the 470 H Hybrid Anniversary Allrounder, will be on display, running in the UK for the first time alongside ARBURG's new MULTILIFT 8kg robot system and turnkey automation cell.

Highlights

• Expert presentations delivered by ARBURG and selected industry partners.
• Dr Robin Kent is the day's keynote speaker and will be giving away signed copies of his book "Sustainability Management in Plastics Processing", recently published in collaboration with the BPF.
• Prize draws and competitions, with lucky guests having a chance to win a 'MagicBricks' scale model of an ARBURG Allrounder.
• Technology highlights: ARBURG's latest machinery and digital technology on display, including the UK premiere of the 470 H Hybrid Anniversary Allrounder machine.
• Complimentary German-themed lunch for all attendees, as well as regular breaks for coffee and refreshments.
• Plenty of opportunities throughout the day to socialise, network, and tour the ARBURG facility.
• For guests travelling further afield, ARBURG has organised a special rate at the excellent Welcombe Hotel, and we will be hosting a relaxed evening of food and drink on the evening of Tuesday 16th May.

ARBURG UK would be delighted if you could join them in Warwick in May to celebrate a special milestone for the company. The event is open to all within the injection moulding sector; being an ARBURG customer or having had previous contact with ARBURG is not a requirement for attendance.

UK premiere of Anniversary Allrounder

ARBURG's new 470 H Hybrid Anniversary Allrounder, complete with all energy-saving features, will be on display for the first time in the UK, viewable alongside ARBURG's new MULTILIFT robot system and turnkey automation cell.

The anniversary machine delivers impressive performance across the board; it saves energy, conserves resources, and is production-efficient, user-friendly, and reliable. The perfect combination of an electric clamping unit and a hydraulic injection unit significantly reduces acquisition and operating costs, as well as the carbon footprint. Compared to a hydraulic machine, the new 470 H has an improved energy footprint of up to 50% and can save up to 12,000 kg of CO2 annually.

With "Comfort", "Premium", and "Ultimate" performance variants, various injection units and a wide range of options, the new Allrounder 470 H machines can not only be precisely adapted to specific customer requirements – they also mark the start of a new generation of machines from ARBURG.

Its technical features include a new oil management concept, flow rate splitting for simultaneous movements of hydraulic secondary axes and the extended use of the ARBURG servo-hydraulic system – all aimed at conserving resources and energy.

A new 100-tonne Hybrid Anniversary Allrounder 470H Comfort Edition will be on display at ARBURG's Warwick showroom throughout the event, enabling UK moulders to see the new machine in action for the first time.
