For over 70 years, REP International has been the world leader in injection molding machines for rubber, silicones, and all types of elastomers.
Thanks to a network of experts gathered in subsidiaries (USA, Germany, Italy, Brazil, India, and China) and 30 service agents worldwide, REP offers to its customers high-quality local support and advice for productivity and competitiveness.
REP’s DNA is to be focused on specific customer requirements and to develop turnkey and tailored solutions to overcome industrial challenges, deploying ergonomics and technologies to make plants more flexible, autonomous, and efficient.
More than ever, energy consumption, waste reduction, data collection, and analysis are key to reducing environmental impact and essential elements in industrial process improvement and optimization.
The horizontal EPG electric range enables your plant to improve performance and sustainability with its features all contained in an ergonomic and compact solution with a significant 33% reduced footprint compared to similar tonnage presses on the market.
EPG machines are unique for elastomer applications: increasing overall cycle productivity by more than 20%, thanks to major technical improvements and optimized adjustments.
Especially with brushless motors enabling controlled speed and acceleration along with simultaneous movements.
Equipped with an ultra-accurate FIFO unit allowing injection time reduction by 60% and cure time by 30%, besides fast compound change and flexible use.
The successful combination of speed and precision!
Production traceability and machine performance are boosted by the “High-performance Pack” features: accumulator, servo motor pump and closed loop circuit.
All connected through i/o link integration, machine components give real-time information available in one “click”. Therefore, the Production and Maintenance Departments become more autonomous with functions such as self-adjustment of values in case of parameter variations and self-diagnosis for the identification of root causes and preventative maintenance.
Designed to allow eco-friendly production, the machine also benefits from an extremely low risk of part contamination, due to its oil-free molding area.
The oil volume reduction and air cooling ensure long machine life, extended maintenance intervals and energy consumption reduction of up to 50% doubled with water-free operation.
Besides the molding process optimization limits scrap adding material savings of around 14% for the molding process (limiting burrs and scrap).
REP’s expertise goes beyond machine features and contributes to a more sustainable industry, with many other “clean” solutions like flashless molding, recycling of scrap materials, and refurbishing solutions for equipment longer lifespan.
All these elements ensure that REP is the right partner to meet and exceed your needs. Let’s talk about your application and production requirements.
