TRADE SHOW PREVIEW 60 PET planet insider Vol. 17 No. 09/16 www.petpla.net Direct post-crystallisation, processed for high efficiency Premiere at the K trade fair: PET CrystalBatch The new alternative to amorphous PET pellets is called PET CrystalBatch. In a new process developed by cpc, the mate- rial is directly post-crystallised and thereby subjected to less thermal stress. It retains its cylindrical shape and is claimed to have an excellent surface quality. To this end, PET Crystal- Batch impresses with its homogeneous, stable product qual- ity. It is dust-free and does not migrate. The PET pellets can be used universally, allowing them to be easily integrated into various industrial manufacturing processes in various sectors. The search for greater efficiency determines the industrial production processes – for masterbatch developer cpc as well as for its customers. When PET is crystallised in a discontinuous process, the structure of the pellets suffers. It is subjected to high thermal stress in the successive process steps. Migration and dust represent additional obstacles for further processing. The solution lies in the so-called direct crys- tallisation. This enables optimisation of energy management, in which energy from the melting process is used for the crystallisation. Process stability and improved product quality are also addi- tional resulting positive factors. The pel- lets no longer adhere. Known methods such as underwater strand pelletisation and underwater pelletisation are consid- ered to be costly. cpc has developed a new method for direct post-crystallisation that further optimises the structure of the pellets. In this process, the crystallisation point is reached in a particularly gentle manner. The PET CrystalBatch produced by cpc is subjected to less thermal stress during direct post-crystallisation, retains its cylindrical shape and has a superior surface quality. To this end, PET Crys- talBatch impresses with its homogene- ous, stable product quality. It is dust- free and does not migrate. PET CrystalBatch belongs to the product range from cpc. Through direct post-crystallisation, it helps in reducing energy costs and improving processing efficiency. PET Crys- talBatch can be used universally, allowing it to be easily integrated into various industrial manufacturing pro- cesses in various sectors. www.colorplasticchemie.de The color plastic chemie Albert Schleberger GmbH (cpc) family company, which was founded in 1968 and continues to be owner-managed, has been a specialist in the develop- ment and production of dye concen- trates and additives for thermoplastics for over forty years. With over 100 employees, cpc is one of the leading masterbatch producers in Europe. Its products are available around the world. cpc has developed tailor-made solutions from dye samples and spec- ifications, which can be integrated into modern production processes in an easy and safe manner. The company certified under ISO 9001:2008 is said to guarantee a consistently high qual- ity of dye concentrates and additives produced at its site in Remscheid, Germany. In production, cpc pro- cesses traditional pigments and dyes of the highest quality and exclusively uses raw materials that are free of harmful heavy metals. Using renew- able energy plays an important role for cpc as well as conscientious water and air conditioning. The independent family company is value-oriented and pays attention to the fair and respect- ful treatment of customers, partners and employees. The product range includes colour, additive and special batch for various ways of application in many indus- tries, from building materials and toys to the food and cosmetics industries. In addition to dye concentrates and pigments, cpc also manufactures liquid dyes, dyes in granular form and dye compounds. cpc invites its customers to a personal consultation in a spacious and bright ColorLounge. Both the technical possibilities and trend aspects are included in the colour design of the products. For this, not only are colour chips presented but also real objects such as bottles and jars, creative injection moulding items as well as technical products from the automotive and pipe industry. In a separate light room, the selected colour design can be tested under various lighting conditions. After prior agreement, bottle prototypes can also be provided on site during the consul- tation. cpc applies co or mono extru- sion for colouring or produces PET bottles in an injection, stretch, blow moulding process. cpc customers benefit from exclusive on-site service with the ColorMobil.
