Who is KRACHT GmbH?

KRACHT GmbH, headquartered in Werdohl, Germany, is a global technology provider for pumps, fluid measurement, valves, hydraulic drives and systems. For more than 100 years, high-quality products have been developed, manufactured and sold for a wide range of industries and applications. Customized special solutions are among the core competencies of the company with around 450 employees at four locations.

The acquisition of 2KM

In July 2022, KRACHT GmbH took over important business areas of the former company 2KM GmbH (2-Komponenten Maschinenbau GmbH) based in Marienheide. This ensures that the proven 2KM product portfolio of dosing and mixing systems will continue to be available to the LSR industry.

What you can expect ...

Since July 2022, KRACHT GmbH has continuously invested in the modernization of the SilcoStar series and presented the latest generation of SilcoStar systems at the Fakuma trade fair in Friedrichshafen with great success. As the qualified employees and their expert knowledge have also moved from Marienheide to Werdohl, existing and future customers will benefit from the expansion of the business segment.

KRACHT presented the next generation of LSR dosing systems at FAKUMA in Friedrichshafen

COMPLETELY NEWLY DEVELOPED SILCOSTAR SERIES IMPRESSES THE TRADE PUBLIC

The former 2KM development team, consisting of engineers, designers and sales staff, has set itself the goal of technically optimizing the previous SilcoStar series 902e, 922e, 924e and e-Flow in many areas. The next generation of LSR dosing and mixing systems was extremely well received by the trade visitors.

The development of the new SilcoStar series

until 2022
The 2KM basis: SilcoStar e-Flow
2022
The former 2KM-LSR dosing system in KRACHT design
2023
The new developments SilcoStar E- and HY-Drive
The SilcoStar 902e, 922e, 924e and e-Flow series have been known in the industry for many years for their sophisticated technology and are used in a wide range of applications. The former 2KM GmbH analyzed the special requirements of users at an early stage and recognized the need for classic, hydraulically driven and more modern, servo-electric systems. With the 9- and e-Flow series, the SilcoStars covered almost every conceivable area of application.
In the first step after the takeover, KRACHT GmbH adapted the design to be able to meet demand without interruption. At the same time, the sales department, in close cooperation with the design department, recognized that the products had a lot of potential. The idea of further developing the SilcoStar dosing and mixing systems quickly matured.
Within a year, KRACHT has developed two new series based on the existing portfolio and presented them at Fakuma. At the heart of the E-Drive series is the servo-electric linear drive with planetary roller technology, which stands for precision and durability like no other drive. For applications with a static mixing ratio, KRACHT offers the HY-Drive series with hydraulic drive. Three user interface versions – Pro, Smart and Easy – are available for the E-Drive series. The HY-Drive versions are available in Smart and Easy configurations.

2022 – The former 2KM-LSR dosing system in KRACHT design

In the first step after the takeover, KRACHT GmbH adapted the design to be able to meet demand without interruption. At the same time, the sales department, in close cooperation with the design department, recognized that the products had a lot of potential. The idea of further developing the SilcoStar dosing and mixing systems quickly matured.

2023 – The new developments SilcoStar E- and HY-Drive

Within a year, KRACHT has developed two new series based on the existing portfolio and presented them at Fakuma. At the heart of the E-Drive series is the servo-electric linear drive with planetary roller technology, which stands for precision and durability like no other drive. For applications with a static mixing ratio, KRACHT offers the HY-Drive series with hydraulic drive. Three user interface versions – Pro, Smart and Easy – are available for the E-Drive series.

SilcoStar E-Drive

The SilcoStar E-Drive series is a servo-electrically driven dosing and mixing system for demanding tasks with a variable mixing ratio for the production of liquid silicone molded parts.

SilcoStar HY-Drive

The SilcoStar HY-Drive series is the hydraulically driven alternative for applications that only require a fixed mixing ratio (1:1).

LED barrel display

Fill level indicator with a dynamic LED strip included in the Smart and Pro versions

Electronics

Choose from three user interface variants.

  • Pro - Innovative operation via 13" multi-touch display
  • Smart - Modern operation via 7" multi-touch display
  • Easy - Classic operation via buttons and potentiometers

Drive

The E-Drive series is characterized by its high-precision servo-electric linear drive. In addition to a long service life, this ensures consistently efficient dispensing, even with small shot weights.

New mixing head design

  • Highly sensitive pressure sensor for lack of material and overpressure
  • Patented mixture pressure control of mixed material
  • Volumetric dosing control directly at the mixing head
  • Cooling trays for static mixers

Electronics

Choose from two user interface variants.

  • Smart – Modern operation via 7" multi-touch display
  • Easy – Classic operation via buttons and potentiometers

Drive

The HY-Drive series is characterised by its robust hydraulic drive with coupled cylinders. The maintenance-friendly drive outperforms comparable pneumatic machines in terms of efficiency.

New mixing head design

The cost-efficient HY-Drive series also benefits from KRACHT developments in the mixing head area:

  • Highly sensitive pressure sensor for material shortage and overpressure
  • Patented mixture pressure control of mixed material
  • Volumetric dosing control directly on the mixing head

SilcoStar E-Drive

The SilcoStar E-Drive series is a servo-electrically driven dosing and mixing system for demanding tasks with a variable mixing ratio for the production of liquid silicone molded parts.

SilcoStar HY-Drive

The SilcoStar HY-Drive series is the hydraulically driven alternative for applications that only require a fixed mixing ratio (1:1).
