About wHagn
Based in Vienna, wHagn GmbH has been active in the plastics industry for more than 30 years and, beyond technical consulting and the sales of capital goods, supports its customers across the entire process chain of plastics processing. The product range includes pellet dedusting, silo solutions, material conveying and dosing, temperature control and refrigeration technology, size reduction technology for recycling, extraction technology, heater insulation as well as auxiliary units and injection moulds for multi-component technology. The offering is complemented by automation with 6-axis robots, gripper quick-change systems and conveyor belts, mould monitoring (MoldWatcher), efficiency measurement and production planning (MESTRIC OEE) as well as cleaning of machines and tools with DYNA-PURGE purging compound. In-house engineering services include product design, mould design, CNC-milled custom injection moulds and prototype development through to desktop injection moulding. Customers come from the plastics and food industries as well as general industry.
