At the Fakuma 2011 Motan will exhibit a cross section of product enhancements in the following fields of material management: drying, conveying, blending, dyeing and dosing. In particular, the Luxor 80/120/160 and the Spectrocolor G will be highlighted.
Mann+Hummel ProTec have presented the latest, most up-to-date technologies and systems in the areas of material drying, crystallization and condensate separation in the drying process.
Motan’s energy-efficient ETA drying technologies are already considered the gold standard. Now, the company is taking energy efficiency to the next level: with ETA plus air regulation, comprising a temperature adjustment feature, airflow control and the ETA waste heat recovery system.
Motan-Colortronic now provides Minicolor dosing units with disc dosing.
Accuracy and ease of use of new hot runner temperature controller help molders obtain rapid payback on investment.
Multi-circuit flow control is more often used by processors looking for better process security and part quality.
Motan has completely re-engineered its drying bins. The clean-out doors on our new LUXOR dryers are now twice as large. Not only do these larger doors greatly improve access, they also allow the hopper loader discharge flap to be cleaned easily and simply from the front. In addition, the doors are designed specifically for the bin’s, preventing bridging while optimising materials flow.
Motan-Colortronic provides Minicolor dosing units with disc dosing. They are particularly suitable for consistent dosing of small quantities and for applications where screw dosing is too imprecise or unsuitable due to the properties of the bulk material. Moreover, disc dosing is ideal for fast cycling injection moulding and for force-fed extruders.
When asking moulders about their mental picture relating to temperature controllers, replies frequently include expressions such as: “low-cost purchase or leasing, easy installation, switch on and forget about it until the next mould change.”
This year’s Mann+Hummel ProTec presentation at the Fakuma trade fair in Friedrichshafen is focused on system solutions increasing effectiveness and efficiency of material handling in plastics processing.
Plastech publishes an interview with Alessandro Grassi, General Manager of Frigosystem. The company was one of the almost 700 exhibitors at Plastpol exhibition in Kielce, Poland, on May this year. Plastpol is the largest fair event dedicated to the plastics industry in Central and Eastern part of Europe.
Precisely dosed for high quality fleece fabric Process-stabilised dosing of all components directly during the manufacturing process – that is one of Mann+Hummel ProTec’s core competencies. The fleece manufacturer RKW Gronau relies on exactly this competence in its new nonwoven fabric plant. The SOMOS Gramix S9 gravimetric dosing and mixing system, designed for up to nine formula components, is integrated in the plant.
