In 2000, ERMO invented IMC (In Mould Closure), a technology that allows the part to be closed directly in the mold, without the need for an additional robot for this closing step.

In 2017, ERMO took this innovation a step further by electrifying the system with E-IMC. Since then, this technology has continued to improve. Today, it is recognized for its productivity, closure quality, and reliability.

Thanks to the absence of compressed air, E-IMC consumes very little energy, offering excellent energy performance. This is a major advantage for industries that are increasingly committed to a more responsible and “green” approach.
The switch to electric also brings increased precision: unlike a pneumatic system, it is possible to precisely define the pressure on the part and to control the contact areas exactly during closure.

Another notable advantage is that the E-IMC is a much quieter system.
In terms of maintenance, the E-IMC offers great flexibility. Technicians can intervene remotely, while press adjusters can modify the closing and return trajectory on both sides of the mold simply by programming the control tablet.
