Elektron-275
All-electric injection molding technology
Elektron is the product of Milacron’s years of innovation in all-electric injection molding technology. Designed for a full range of applications, in a wide variety of sizes, it offers outstanding value to customers to help them achieve their plastics manufacturing goals.
Milacron’s Elektron uses 60% less energy and 90% less water than hydraulic injection molding machines, reducing operating costs substantially. Setting the standard for movement repeatability, Elektron’s stroke precision of servo-driven axes is significantly greater than top hydraulic systems, making it the best injection molding machine for the reliable production of high-precision parts. With no oil disposal, leaks or slipping hazards, Elektron is perfect for cleanroom environments regardless of machine size needed.
