Wittmann Group will show the complete Primus product range at Fakuma 2026, covering auxiliaries, robots and the EcoPrimus injection molding machine. The presentation focuses on cost, material and energy efficiency in standard injection molding applications.
BMT introduces Material DNA, a process development service focused on defining, validating and transferring process windows before production starts. The solution aims to reduce scale-up risk and shorten line start-up through offline validation and the THERMOSCAN sensor.
Wittmann Group will present at Plastindia 2026 in New Delhi solutions focused on saving energy, material, time and space, including a MicroPower cell for medical micro injection molding, temperature control systems, recycling granulators and the new Primus 118 robot.
Kraiburg TPE has launched its third-generation FR3 thermoplastic elastomers, meeting DIN EN 45545-2 requirements for rail applications. The halogen-free compounds achieve UL94 V0 at 1.5 mm and pass the glow wire test at 960°C.
KVZ Hintermayr has installed a Vecoplan VIZ 1700 shredder to handle a diverse mix of plastics and align shredding capacity with a new extrusion line. The system targets high availability, low operating costs and energy savings, supported by the HiTorc drive and the VSC digitalisation suite.
At K 2025, EREMA expands its plasticising technology: EcoGentle is now available for the Intarema series, enabling lower melt temperatures and energy savings in HDPE, LDPE/LLDPE, PP and BOPET recycling, with retrofit options for existing systems.
At K 2025, Starlinger recycling technology presents the new recoSTAR dynamic art line for post-consumer plastics, alongside updates to recoSTAR PET art whose decontamination performance has received a positive EFSA opinion.
Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen and Kreyenborg have formed a strategic collaboration to cut odours and emissions in recycled plastics. The modular system couples NGR's cascade regranulation and high-performance degassing with Kreyenborg's IR-based conditioning to improve pellet quality for higher-value applications.
Leistritz Extrusionstechnik and Next Generation Recyclingmaschinen will combine preconditioning on a single-screw extruder with twin-screw compounding to produce high-quality regranulate in a single melt. The collaboration addresses PPWR-driven quality requirements and is being demonstrated on a 300–500 kg/h test line in Austria.
The industry will meet in Friedrichshafen for the 29th Fakuma international trade fair for plastics processing from the 15th through the 19th of October, 2024.
