When it comes to drying, saving energy is a key concern. We have developed a system that combines airflow regulation with a temperature adjustment feature – that can be disabled if required –and efficient waste heat recovery. The result? A drying system that cuts energy consumption by up to 64%: ETA plus ® . motan-colortronic gmbh info@motan-colortronic.de www.motan-colortronic.com Direct-cooled temperature control unit for up to 120°C The gwk company Wärme Kältetechnik, Kierspe, Germany has expanded its teco cs series to include a direct-cooled tem- perature control unit for the temperature range up to 120°C with heat outputs of 6 to 12kW. In addition, the facilities avail- able with teco cs 140 t18 have been extended to include a wide range of options for the temperature range up to 140°C, such as a pump wear display, rotary field detection with auto- matic switchover and pump pressure display. Temperature control units in the teco series can be used for operation with water with direct or indirect cooling up to 95, 140, 150, 160 and 200°C, depending on the model. With heat outputs of up to 72kW, cooling capacities of up to 600kW and pump transfer volumes of up to 500l/min, the modular design series are said to be suitable for almost any application in the plastics pro- cessing industry. The models in the teco series which operate using heat transfer oils, are capable, depending on design, of accommodating temperature requirements of up to 180, 300 or 350°C in comparable performance categories. For cooling of mould segments where temperatures are difficult to control, gwk offer two models in the patented cold water tempering device range teco cw that can be operated glycol-free in the temperature range between 0 and 25°C. The standard equipment comprises leak stop operation, mould emptying, acoustic alarm, automatic filling and top-up, an addi- tional facility for filling with conditioned water, dirt traps in the cooling water connection and parts in contact with the medium that are manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials. The circulating water is cooled down to the low temperatures directly in the device in proximity to the mould. www.gwk.com Takeaway items Hi-Cone has introduced a new carrier with takeaway items. The carriers are said to have minimal packaging compared to most types of packaging. In addition, they are waterproof, and removing one will not affect the integrity of the pack. All Hi-Cone carriers are made with photodegrad- able low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Over time, exposure to sunlight makes the carriers brittle. As a special feature, the takeaway carriers give companies options for implementing multipack promotional campaigns, designing them as book- marks, wristbands, trading cards or stickers. www.hi-cone.com Takeaway carrier with takeaway items
