TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 52 PET planet insider Vol. 16 No. 03/15 www.petpla.net South Hall Level 1, Booth:S28000 Injection mould making capabilities R&D/Leverage will be showcasing a range of its capabili- ties, services and achievements in precision injection moulds, preform tooling, injection stretch blow moulds, injection blow moulds and blow mould tooling. It will also be presenting the results of work with partners such as Replenish, who have created a new format for plastic spray bottles and injection moulded containers. R&D/Leverage’s injection mould making capabilities in the home and personal care, food and beverage, and medical/ healthcare market sectors. The company specialises in high precision, high cavitation, single face, two-shot, stack, units and prototype moulds and also offers full, in-house, sampling and qualification services. Visitors to the stand will be able to inspect precision injection moulds for the food and beverage, personal care, and healthcare markets as well as high per- formance preform moulds from 1–96 cavities in a variety of pitches, along with the design and manufacture of End of Arm Tooling. R&D/Leverage also provides refurbishment, restack- ing/product changes, and reverse engineering. R&D/Leverage claims to be the only mould manufacture to offer customers three options in manufacturing injection blow moulds: Traditional, Hybrid, or the Freedom System. It has now introduced a two-tiered mould maintenance pro- gram that delivers new levels of time and cost efficiencies for makers of a wide range of consumer products – whoever originally made the mould. www.rdleverage.com West Hall Level 2; Booth:4675 Large MRS extruder; rotary filtration for highly contaminated materials Gneuss’ Processing Technology division will show the latest generation of its Multi Rotation System extru- sion technology. The MRS 160 is the biggest extruder Gneuss has ever brought to a show. After NPE 2015 closes, the MRS 160 and accompanying units forming a complete line will be delivered to a customer in Florida to process 3000 lbs/h of R-PET into a thermoforming sheet. Although it was originally developed specifically for PET, the MRS is now running in polyolefin and nylon applica- tions. The MRS extruder enables the processing of PET without pre-drying by using a simple water ring vacuum system in order to process the material directly to high quality end products. The company’s Filtration Technology division will give its new RSFgenius M its North American debut. This is a new option in the fully-automatic, process- constant and pressure-constant Rotary Filtration System series. Gneuss says that the RSFgenius M is especially designed for highly contaminated materials, such as are found recycling processes, and that it can cope with higher contamination rates. The SFpvc is the latest addition to the Gneuss range of screen changers for PVC and is specifically designed for recycling highly contaminated PVC. The KR rotary filter is a discontinuous screen changer and is claimed to be particularly suited for fast colour changes. The Measurement Technology division will present its complete line of pressure transducers and transmitters, temperature sensors and accessories. www.gneuss.com
