KraussMaffei injection & extrusion: refit & controller replacement
KraussMaffei Group overgenomen door ChemChina in 2016; onderdelen van Netstal en KM Technologies afgesplitst.
KraussMaffei MC5 and MC6 controllers are end-of-life. GCG replaces them on both injection moulding and extrusion installations with modern Siemens or B&R platforms, with complete transfer of recipe databases and process parameters.
