K 2013: Three plastics + one filter = new production method for filter modules

Three different resins and a filter come together in one machine at K in a process Engel believes could revolutionize filter system manufacturing in medical initially and fuel systems down the road.  ABS and a TPE component will be injection molded in a single step on a e-victory 310H/80W/50V 160 combi three-component press, while the filter is mounted and joined by a polypropylene overmolding.
