The series of the hybrid machines has been designed in 2005 in order to introduce in the market an intermediate series between the traditional machines of that time (both manufactured by us and by our competitors) and our electric machines. The hybrid concept features hydraulic movements for mould opening/closing, blowpin and parison control, whilst the linear adjustable movement of the carriage is electromechanical (International Patent *) and the extruder has an electric drive. The IB series has been renewed in the past few years by reducing the use of hydraulics, consolidating the absolute precision of the carriage movement. Entirely manufactured in our two plants (as for all our machines), confirming our tradition of having solid, and compact machines, reliable in the long run, with all sophisticated technical concepts coming from the experience made by MAGIC in more than 50 years of activity.
