TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 49 PET planet insider Vol. 16 No. 03/15 www.petpla.net West Hall Level 2, Booth:W5673 Capacity expansion and latest developments for recycling Erema North America, Inc., a subsidiary of Erema Engineering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen Ges.m.b.H., has announced that it is to expand its facilities at Ipswich, Mass, from 1000m² floorspace and three recycling systems to 2400m², and will add an INTAREMA 1108 TVEplus with Laserfilter system to the existing equipment. It will demonstrate the new system on its stand at NPE. The company says that the Laserfilter is particularly suitable for the pro- cessing of materials with a high degree of contaminants such as wood, paper, aluminium or copper. Its INTAREMA 605K fully automatic edge trim system, which is aimed at the in-house recycling sector, will be demonstrated at the show as well. The INTAREMA K is described as an intelligent in-house recycling solution that can main- tain consistent end product quality, while saving production and labour costs. The new, fully automatic processing system, designed especially for the recycling of PE edge trim, is the successor to the KAG system. www.erema.at Your UV invisible protection our tailor-made UV blockers Booth S26167 High Performance Liquid Colours and Additives repi.com crystal clear 300 to 400nm West Hall Level 2, Booth:W903 Thin-wall drinking vessels Netstal will be demonstrat- ing production of 44oz (1.3 ltr) “stadium” cups with IMLs on a hybrid ELION 3200-2900. The company points out that the production of drinking vessels is highly complex and when producing thin-walled packag- ing, the ratio of flow path to wall thickness (F/W) demonstrates increasing difficulty as the ratio rises. For the 44 oz cup, the ratio is 300:1. Any slight core shift, i.e. the lack of concentric- ity between the mould, which forms outer contour of the cup, and the core, which forms the inner contour, has a direct impact on product quality. Net- stal says that its best practice, called thin-wall centring, centres the core by means of rheologi- cal flow paths and varying melt pressure levels. www.netstal.com
