TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 55 Corvaglia Hall 12 Booth A51-06 Measuring the actual moisture The Italian company Moretto, known for automation technology for the plastics processing industry, will present several exclusive solutions: Moisture Meter, a resin moisture analyser; XD 10, a high performance mini-dryer; DGM, a continuous batch gravimetric dosing unit; and Exa, a conveying system for up to six stations. Moisture Meter is an in-line resin moisture analyser. At Moretto’s booth there will be a working display of the system installed on a running injection moulding machine producing a standard medical device. With this instrument it is possible to certify the production of plastic parts and when installed directly on the processing machine, measures the actual moisture content of the plastic granules. No calibration is required and it is only necessary to select the polymer to be treated, from a materi- als database (included), and Moisture Meter will continuously control the process with sampling every 10s. Moisture Meter is claimed to represent the missing link in the overall drying process. With Moisture Meter it is possible to determine how much water remains in the process resin. Complementing this innovative instrument is also the availability for on-demand analysis to produce reports on production data by hour, minute, or, in the case of single cavity mould production, a report for every printed piece. Outside, it will be possible to visit Moretto’s 40t articu- lated lorry, Moretto in Motion, a laboratory of ideas which contain the latest news and innovations from Moretto. This exclusive area is dedi- cated to the most demanding customers and will be hosted by professional Moretto staff. www.moretto.com Moretto Hall 11 Booth H57 Closure systems Corvaglia’s participation in the exhibition will reflect the company’s expertise in creating tailor-made closure solutions to meet the chal- lenges of its customers. Visitors will search in vain for standard products on the booth of the Eschlikon-based Swiss company which also has an additional manufactur- ing plant in Mexico. Instead, the display will be focused on the common exchange of clo- sure solutions along the entire value chain. www.corvaglia.ch PET planet insider Vol. 17
