PETpla.net Insider 10 / 2015

TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 41 PET planet insider Vol. 16 No. 10/15 www.petpla.net Saving costs in recycling Herbold Meckesheim GmbH will be exhibiting a range of new develop- ments that focus particularly on saving energy and operation costs. Herbold plast- compactors are able to agglomerate a wide variety of materi- als, including thermoplastic fibres, small tapes, foams, films, stretch or thin films, fine particles, powder or shavings. Her- bold says that its processes produce agglomerated materials with very good flow properties and a high bulk densit, along with efficient separation of residual humidity. Herbold plast- compactors are available for throughputs of up to 1500 kg/h. The newly developed SB series granulators are suitable size reduction applications ranging from PET bottles to pre- shredded materials. As a secondary granulator in continuous operation for barrels and hollow bodies, an SML 60/100 SB (600 x 1000mm rotor, 75kW drive), can obtain a throughput of 3,400kg/hr (screen size 8mm). Herbold Meckesheim has overhauled the construction design of its SMS series machines in order to enable them to cope with even very demanding heavy-duty applications in a single step. www.herbold.com Total system supplier Arburg will be demonstrating how it has realigned itself as a complete production system supplier, embrac- ing “Industry 4.0”. Its stand will feature its ALS host com- puter system, along with demonstrations and presenta- tions of integrated automation and of the customisation of mass-production parts through the combination of injection moulding, additive manufacturing (“3D printing”) and fully networked and integrated production technologies (“Indus- try 4.0”). The stand will also feature three freeformers, which produce complex components from common plastic gran- ules by additive manufacturing. The concept of “customised mass production” will be demonstrated by the production of individualised office scissors using a workstation comprised of an electrical Allrounder 370 E, Freeformer and Multilift V robotic system. All exhibits on the stand will be linked via ALS, the Arburg host computer system. It will document all relevant process parameters, forward them to a web server and make all relevant process data available to mobile devices. Arburg will also be showing Profoam, a lightweight con- struction process for thermoplastic foaming. An electrical two- component Allrounder 470 A with a clamping force of 1,000kN, which has been used to manufacture buttons for car interiors from liquid silicone rubber; and other moulding machines and systems of various sizes and suitable for a range of applica- tions, will also be on display. www.arburg.com Cold Jet shows enhanced Aero Series and new Plastic Edition Cold Jet, developing dry ice cleaning solutions and produc- tion equipment, will launch at the tradeshow Fakuma the new Aero Series and Plastics Edition. It is a comprehensive line of accessories that will come packaged with Cold Jet’s enhanced Aero Series dry ice cleaning systems to provide best cleaning solutions. Cold Jet’s Plastics Edition including e.g.: blow mould, composite mould, extrusion line, PET preform mould and medi- cal device mould cleaning, as well as deflashing, deburring and surface preparation solutions. The Aero Series at its core is a line of Performance Class dry ice blast cleaning machines that guarantees pellet integrity, maximum cleaning aggression and most reliable blast stream. The rugged Aero Series delivering a high performance and versatil- ity with low cost of ownership. Further enhanced to meet the customer’s need and budget, Cold Jet has streamlined the Aero Series to three levels of functionality: the Aero, Aero 40FP and Aero 80FP (FP = full range of pressure). www.coldjet.com Hall A6 | Booth 6502 Herbold Hall A3 | Booth 3101 Arburg MHT MOLD & HOTRUNNER TECHNOLOGY AG Your Machine - Our Solution German Technology Hall A1 | Booth 1220 Cold Jet
