Italian innovation and technology: the MiniGigaPress and Idras’s 5S injection system
Despite the economic challenges facing its sector, the Idra Group continues to assert its technological leadership through the development of state-of-the-art machinery. Whilst working on the 9,000-tonne GigaPress for major industrial players, the company is also addressing the needs of businesses seeking compact and highly efficient solutions. The answer? The MiniGigaPress – equipped with the groundbreaking 5S injection system – a transformative innovation that boosts productivity without requiring large-scale production facilities. This machine has been designed for maximum adaptability and can be customised to fit any space.
MiniGigaPress: Compact performance for high-volume production
With a clamping force of 2,200 to 4,900 tonnes, the MiniGigaPress offers a versatile and powerful solution for companies that manufacture large components whilst wishing to retain their existing production space. Unlike larger GigaPresses, which often require extensive infrastructure and factory modifications, the MiniGigaPress can be seamlessly integrated into existing manufacturing environments. This makes it the ideal choice for manufacturers seeking to boost their efficiency without needing to build their own production facility.
5S injection system: A breakthrough in regenerative technology
At the heart of the MiniGigaPress lies its groundbreaking innovation: the 5S injection system – a closed-loop regenerative system featuring an additional servo pump for unrivalled efficiency. Winner of the European Patent Office’s prestigious 2024 Industrial European Inventor Award, this pioneering technology offers precise control of pressure and speed and ensures the dynamic force required to fill even the most complex and demanding moulds.
Key features of the 5S system
- Energy optimisation – Reduces energy consumption by recovering energy throughout the entire production cycle.
- Precision control – Continuously monitors pressure and speed parameters, thereby improving the quality of the end product.
- High dynamic force – Enables fast and precise filling of complex moulds.
- Operational efficiency – Ensures faster, consistent production cycles with minimal waste.
