39 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 22 No. 09/21 www.petpla.net Gneuss - hall A6 booth 6501 Extrusion technology Innovative MRSjump extruder with high decontamination performance and a viscosity boost in one single extrusion step. Gneuss is presenting its new MRSjump extruder. As with the proven MRS extruder, the extrusion process does not require any pre-treatment of the input material, such as crystallisation or pre-drying of the material. Short residence times, low thermal and mechanical stress on the melt and ef fi cient degassing have characterised MRS technology, says Gneuss. With the new MRSjump extruder, the MRS screw section has been modi fi ed and extended so that, in combination with a 1mbar vacuum unit developed for this purpose, the viscosity of the polyester can be raised or stabilised to the desired level directly in the extrusion step. A downstream IV build-up in a solid state polycondensation (SSP) is not neces- sary. For the fi rst time, the processing of materials with low or highly fl uctuating input viscosities is possible in a single extrusion step. The compact design of the MRSjump extrusion line requires little space, energy and maintenance com- pared to other solutions on the market. Filtration technology Gneuss fi ltration technology is introduc- ing an additional size across its line of rotary fi ltration systems. The models RSFgenius, SFXmagnus, SFneos and CSFprimus are now available in a size 110, which offers almost 20% more active screen area than the size 90 for each model, depending on the speci fi c model. In the past the next size up was the size 150, with a jump of more than 50% in active fi ltration aera. The new intermediate size will ensure an optimised and cost-ef fi cient fi ltration solution for every application. Pressure and process constant Gneuss rotary fi ltration systems Rotary fi ltration systems operate con- tinuous, automatic, process and pressure constant. They are characterised by a fi lter disk on which the screen cavities are located in a ring pattern. Screens can be changed on the part of the fi lter disk that is not active in the melt channel, while the production process continues to run without any interruptions or disturbances. Gneuss melt fi ltration systems can be integrated into an existing process and are perfectly suited as a retro fi t solution e.g. for demanding recycling applications. The various models differ for example in terms of drive design, encapsulation and whether they offer inte- grated back- fl ushing. Gneuss fl ange pressure sensor Measurement technology As a machinery manufacturer, Gneuss has the manufacturing capabilities to manufacture even unusual sensor requirements. The lean manufacturing structure at Gneuss allows the company to offer very short delivery times. Gneuss sensors are available to match regional or application-speci fi c requirements such as Atex, Hart Communication or EAC and are also available with digital IO-Link communication. For special process con- ditions or dif fi cult places of installation, Gneuss offers individual sensor solutions; new are the rotatable sensor shaft and a fl ange mounting solution. www.gneuss.com Swiss Made | www.imdvista.ch Inspection Systems for the Plastic Packaging Industry CLOSURE Tethered ready – Ready since more than 2 years – Flexible with IMDvista NEURON (AI) – Already more than 30 running lines successful in the market PREFORM Factory Concept 4.0 – In-line monitoring, process control – 100% In-line inspection – 100% Off-line inspection (re-sorting) CLOSURE Factory Concept 4.0 – In-line after IMM – In combination with slitter/folder – Flexible OEM integration
