“45 years of experience behind us, and innovation for the future”
K show: Moretto, Hall 11 – Booth E68
Drinktec: Moretto, Hall C5 – Booth 315
Since 1980 Moretto has been designing and manufacturing automation for the plastics processing industry. Well-known in the industrial automation field, Moretto offers solutions for feeding & conveying, dosing, drying, granulation, temperature control, process cooling, storage, integrated system supervision & management. The company has five production sites, nine sales subsidiaries and a qualified sales network in more than 70 countries worldwide as well as partnerships with manufacturers and compounding producers.
“Anniversaries are a time for reflection, but they are also a springboard for facing future challenges with the same determination and passion that has characterised us for the past 45 years. We have built our history on the courage to never compromise, always pursuing the highest quality,” says Renato Moretto, the company’s founder and president.
A challenge to do better, day after day
Moretto’s growth has been constant, driven by a spirit that has en-abled it to interpret and anticipate the needs and trends of the industry. The company has implemented continuous updates and new organisational and production models, allowing it to guarantee the exclusivity of the solutions it proposes. Moretto engineers’ mission is to aim for constant improvement based on ingenuity and scientific rigour. To offer an increasingly innovative product and properly analyse processes and materials. The company invests more than 6% of its turnover in R&D and has a state-of-the-art laboratory equipped with exclusive instruments. “To innovate means to go beyond the limit where others stop, to raise a challenge every day to improve oneself and one’s own work and to create value for our customers”, has been the constant conviction of Renato Moretto.
K 2025 in name of new technologies
Participation at the K show will not only be the occasion to celebrate the 45th anniversary but also to showcase Moretto’s new technologies, including the gravimetric batch blender DGM GRAVIX 50, the dryer X COMB 19, the HYPER CUT grinder, the manual manifold with wireless control and OW6, the innovative centralised system management server.
Two years after the launch of the DGM20, the DGM GRAVIX 50 extends the range of the gravimetric batch blenders specifically designed for the micro-dosing of plastic materials. Thanks to the SMD electronic control, the digital technology increases the performance of the self-adjustment algorithms. Additionally, the weighing system performs high-speed sampling, ensuring that data are processed through self-learning functions.
The double eyelid device has a reaction time of 25 ms, which ensures accurate dosing. The Rotopulse technology evolves for micro-dosing by means of a pulse system, down to a tenth of a gram in the dosing of masterbatch. The increased capacity of the mixer completes the configuration ensuring high performance. Moretto says that the advanced connectivity and readiness for the MOWIS supervisory system make the DGM GRAVIX blenders highly versatile and well suited to the demands of modern industry.
The range of X COMB mini dryers is also expanding with the new XD19 model, which is suitable for processing techno polymers and productions of up to 60 kg/h. Boasting a completely new design, the XD19 enhances the construction, technology and performance of the X COMB series. Distinctive features remain the Honeycomb technology in 100% Zeolite with superior absorbent capacity, the exclusive OTX hopper and the Hyper Flow turbo compressors with variable flow, with a consistent process and high energy efficiency in a footprint of 0.56 m2.
Moretto presents a new concept of granulation with HYPER CUT, a high productivity grinder (up to 1,200 kg/h), for grinding waste pieces, sprues and blown parts for injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding and thermoforming sectors. The flexible rotor design allows the cutting elements to be set to process any type of waste pieces, ensuring high performance of productivity, regrind quality, reduced noise impact and total absence of dust, says Moretto.
The company`s plastic granule conveying solutions also feature a variety of new developments. The TLC manual manifold allows for the implementation of wireless control, guiding the operator through the correct coupling of materials and machines and providing immediate feedback on the status of connections. A distinctive element that reduces the possibility of human error, making the process safer, more precise and traceable. The touch-view control offers a simple and intuitive interface for the operator, enhancing safety in the control of the production process.
High efficiency and self-calibration in conveying systems represent the primary needs of the modern plastics processing industry. To this end, Moretto developed ONE WIRE 6, an intelligent system that implements the exclusive KRONO technology. ONE WIRE 6 is equipped with artificial intelligence and does not need to be programmed as it is adaptive. Identifying the machine to be served, it recognises and applies conveying parameters automatically maintaining high efficiency. Furthermore, KRUISEKONTROL is integrated as standard, thus completing the conveying system with a dynamic granule speed control tool. A system that identifies the operating para-meters and performs gentle conveying.
All Moretto systems can be connected to the MOWIS supervising system, that simplifies the management of complex systems and provides an immediate overview of the plant status.
