Innovation in hot runner design: Precision in the tightest of spaces with 32 injection points on just 70 x 35 mm GÜNTHER is setting new standards in hot runner technology with the successful realisation of a new type of valve gate system. The system impresses with its extremely narrow gating dimensions and an impressive number of 32 injection points on an area of just 70 mm x 35 mm - an achievement made possible by close interdisciplinary cooperation between the mould maker and hot runner supplier. Valve Gate System with Servo Drive The focus is on a high-precision electric valve gate that allows the needle position to be adjusted easily and precisely. This is supported by a specially developed sliding mechanism with recirculating rollers, which ensures powerful and concentrated force transmission - and thus guarantees reliable, precise closing of the valve pin directly at the injection point. The interaction of these components significantly increases both process reliability and reproducibility in series production. The modular concept is scalable to up to 96 injection points and therefore offers a high degree of flexibility for a wide range of mould concepts while at the same time minimising space requirements. Particular attention was paid to homogeneous temperature control in the melt-flowing areas. Adapted control zones ensure uniform heating, while the balanced melt distribution via optimised channel design in the manifold enables constant filling of all cavities - even with complex geometries and high numbers of cavities. The needle guide made of wear-resistant material also guarantees a permanently high injection point quality and a long service life in continuous operation. The system is rounded off by a temperature control concept developed together with the mould maker, which enables precise coordination between the mould and hot runner components.

The Konica Minolta devices CM-700d and CM-600d are portable spherical spectrophotometers with a vertical design. In each measurement, the gloss inclusion (SCI) and gloss exclusion data are measured to analyze the surface finish of the sample. A large color LCD display for numerical and graphical data analysis enables color measurement with unprecedented simplicity. Simple and intuitive user guidance in 6 languages ​​guarantees maximum efficiency for daily color quality testing in the laboratory or production. In addition, the CM-700d offers a 3mm measuring aperture so that even the smallest patterns can be measured perfectly.

Production of milled parts (3-axis and 5-axis - also simultaneously) from components made of most technical plastics (including PEEK) as well as from a variety of metals (see material overview)

Reduction of residue Lubricant free production Increase of corrosion resistance Optimization of demolding Preservation of gloss level Additional hardness increase Wear protection Upgrading of the soft tempering steel

Cobot HSB ED-1300 C The collaborative robot is easy to use and highly versatile. With a 360° range of motion and a reach of up to 1300 mm, it is suitable for a wide range of applications. Drag-teaching and trajectory learning allow the arm to be guided by hand, automatically recording and replaying movements. Advanced collision detection ensures high safety by stopping the robot in case of unexpected contact.

Our customers' demands for increasingly complex components at the lowest possible prices are nothing new to us. To meet these needs, we have continuously expanded our expertise in the area of thread and undercut demolding. For the cost-effective production of components with undercuts, we use a special technique: the use of collapsible cores.

Eschmann Textures International GmbH, Gummersbach, in cooperation with GRAFE, Blankenhain, has developed a new method with which a wide variety of colour and texture effects can be cost-effectively combined in a blow mould. The basis is a digitally printed, flexible film carrier for which the process is named - Digiflex. It offers cost and time optimisation and is suitable for rapid design validation, material testing and product evaluation. Short series production is also possible.

Pre-colored plastics, masterbatches in granular form, liquid colors or finely dispersed pigment preparations

The carrier systems for the Deltacolor MB color masterbatches include PP, PE, PA, PS, ABs, POM, TPE and EVA and a-Olefin. By combining pigments, UV stabilization and process optimization additives, it offers multifunctional and economical solutions for colouring plastics.

As part of the TOSAF family, we also offer worldwide service right on your doorstep. Regardless of whether you want to adapt an existing colour or develop a new colour, our experts offer you personalised advice and support. In addition to developing colour masterbatches, we also set up functional masterbatches for our customers. They include UV stabilisers, antistatic agents, flame retardants, laser marking additives and many more. Combination batches made of colour masterbatches and additives are certainly possible as well.

With the new GRAFECOLORS 2026/27, GRAFE takes its customers on a journey through five spheres that interweave the past, present, and future in an incomparable way. Each of the five collections tells its own story—and gives designers, product developers, and brands inspiration on how to stage the future in color. The GRAFE DESIGN CENTER regularly publishes a customized trend brochure that analyzes the trends for the coming years, researched by leading trend institutes and transferred to the world of plastics by our color experts: 15 Colors compiled in five iconic worlds Urban Nostalgics Warm earth tones full of comfort, contrasted by glittering metallic effects. Nomads Between Worlds Neon colors and mystical blue merge reality and virtuality. Sensual Spheres Soft, creamy shades and cool water tones combine technology and emotion. Natural Resilience Calm blue tones with a delicate mint green reflect the fragility of nature. Joyful Uprising Optimism and creative energy unfold in a brightly colored mix. A tangible source of inspiration But GRAFECOLORS 2026/27 is more than just a trend brochure: with the matching sample box, it serves as a source of inspiration for designers and allows them to experience the colors haptically through their interpretation in plastic. Accompanying the booklet is a selection of sample tiles in a distinctive hexagonal shape. Each tile shows its own combination of polymer, trend color formulation, surface, and effect pigment. In addition to conventional plastics of petrochemical origin such as PA, PAGF30, SAN, PETG, and recycled rPETG, biological alternatives such as PLA, PHA, and ARBOBLEND V2 also serve as base polymers for the hexagons. Whether opaque, translucent, or transparent, with or without optical effects, in petrochemical or biological polymers—the colorists at the GRAFE DESIGN CENTER are always a source of creative inspiration for a wide variety of industries.
