Arburg has encouraging response for all-electrics in India

The spokesperson from Unimark also said that the company would be expecting a "few more orders this year", this is even though the machine is priced twice that of the Japanese competition. "The benefit overrides the price as the machine offers higher speed," he said.

At Plastindia, the firm was displaying Arburg's Allrounder 470H 1000-290 shown processing an ice cream cup using a two-cavity mould made by Hofstetter India. The Hidrive series offers the benefits of hydraulic and electric machine technologies, with a combination of servo-electric toggle clamping system from Allrounder A and hydraulic accumulator technology injection units from the Allrounder S.
