About Used Hybrid Injection Molding Machines
Hybrid injection molding machines combine electric servo-driven injection units with hydraulic clamp systems, offering a balance of precision, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. These machines provide the precision and speed advantages of all-electric injection for the plasticizing and injection phases, while using hydraulic power for the clamp — which is more cost-effective at higher tonnages.
Hybrid machines typically offer 20-30% energy savings over fully hydraulic machines and approach the precision of all-electric machines for injection control. They're an excellent choice for molders who need better precision than hydraulic machines provide but don't require full cleanroom capability.
Meadoworks stocks used hybrid injection molding machines from Engel, Krauss Maffei, Milacron, Sumitomo, and Arburg. These machines offer excellent value in the used market, bridging the price gap between hydraulic and all-electric.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hybrid injection molding machine?
A hybrid injection molding machine combines an electric servo-driven injection unit with a hydraulic clamping system. This provides the precision and energy efficiency of electric injection with the power and cost advantages of hydraulic clamping. Hybrids offer 20-30% energy savings over fully hydraulic machines.
Should I buy a hybrid or all-electric injection molding machine?
Choose all-electric if you need cleanroom capability, maximum precision, or lowest energy consumption. Choose hybrid if you need good precision at a lower purchase price, especially in larger tonnages where all-electric options become very expensive. Hybrid machines are the best value compromise for most general-purpose applications.
