Several innovations can be seen in injection moulding machines at K 2007. All electric injection moulding machines will be the highlight in this segment at K 2007. These electric machines are aimed at every segment of the market, from general-purpose to high-end. Suppliers will introduce new lines and fill out their existing ranges with smaller or larger sizes. Hybrids, too, will make news with designs ranging from essentially hydraulic machines having an electric screw drive to mostly electric machines that retain hydraulics for high-pressure clamping or high-speed injection. There will also be an emphasis on new and improved hydraulic models that tackle everything from large parts to high-speed packaging. Two-platen machines in smaller sizes and PET preform machines for lower volume production will also be emphasized. Preform moulders will also see an emergence of new competition from high-speed compression molding.

Several new types of machines will be unveiled, including presses for high-speed production of caps and closures and systems that combine multiple processes, such as injection and compounding to produce novel materials.
A fifth generation of all-electric e-Jet machine for optical disk manufacturing will be unveiled at the exhibition. This new development will be suited to Blu-ray and HD-DVD production and brings higher output capability, a simplified design, 18% weight reduction, and 33% lower energy consumption than previous designs.
Another interesting introduction of machine will be that of all electric injection moulding equipment for clean-room medical application.
A new generation hybrid toggle machine will debut for universal applications, finding higher presence in all applications.
A new process that combines injection molding with extrusion - also called �intrusion molding� to produce long, thin, profiles with projecting elements that would be difficult or impossible to provide with profile extrusion will be introduced at K 2007 exhibition.
A new interesting system that allows the moulder to compound material formulations on the injection machine will be demonstrated for the first time. This system features two plasticating units, each fed by a gravimetric metering/blending system for up to eight components, and both feeding a static mixer. Users can change the mix ratios on one or both hoppers to change the composition within a few shots. Users can develop and test up to 250 different recipes a day.
Besides the above key developments several new innovations can be seen in PET prreform & Mucell areas.
