41 TRADE SHOW PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 22 No. 09/21 www.petpla.net Koch-Technik - hall A3 booth 3213 Mixing, dosing, conveying and drying Koch-Technik will be showcasing the broad port- folio of its product range in the areas of mixing, dosing, conveying and drying, as well as a variety of sustainable solutions for applications in the automotive, consumer goods, health care and sev- eral others industries. The new Eko-N dry air dryer, already presented in its original version at K 2019 exhibition, will celebrate its debut at this year’s Fakuma. The dryer has been developed further with respect to energy ef fi ciency. Together with the patented Koch-Öko energy system control, the new dryers can save up to 50% energy. Another highlight is the KKT mobile granulate dryers, which will be presented with a new touch control. The new colour displays are larger than before and offer further advantages such as the simple, intuitive operation of the control unit, the integrated central conveying system - which is Industry 4.0-compatible as a result of the OPC UA communica- tion standard - and the option of full integration into the Koch visualisation. Another innovation will be the MCGT control unit for the gravimetric mixers, Graviko. Together with the control units of the volumetric pre-mixers and the mobile KKT dryers, the new control units of Koch-Technik present themselves in a uniform and modern appearance. Thanks to the OPC-UA communication interface, the complete and easy integra- tion of the Gravikos into the client´s production processes is possible. The clear illustration and easy entry of process parameters on the touch-panel is one of many advan- tages. The control unit calculates the necessary process parameters automatically and guarantees a continuous and consistent dosing. www.koch-technik.com Maag Pump Systems AG - hall A6 booth 6202 Filters for use in PET recycling Maag Group is a broadly diversi- fi ed global solutions provider of pump & fi ltration systems, pelletising & pul- verising systems, recycling systems and digital solutions. Maag experts will be on hand to discuss the com- pany’s product portfolio for the poly- mer industry:  Maag Ettlinger has unveiled a new generation of tried-and-tested Eco high performance melt filters for use in PET recycling. Their new features take into account the need for systems with a higher product throughput and are initially avail- able in sizes suitable for medium- sized recycling lines. The new performance enhanced Eco 350 replaces the former Eco 250, while the new Eco 500, capable of achieving capacities of up to 4,000 kg/h, replaces the former Eco 250 Twin. The Eco 200 completes this range.  New high-performance pelletising machines for the polymer industry including direct crystallisation. Ef fi cient systems for the production of biopolymers. Technology-based, optimised pellet shape up to micro pellets. Recycling systems with added value. Tools with signi fi cantly longer service life until knife change and/or die plate grinding.  Innovation in strand pelletising: From lab size to compounding/ masterbatch and large scale polymerisation.  All Maag Group extrex gear pumps in x6 class design are completely re-engineered and have redesigned components, from the shafts through to the bearings and seals, and opti- mised the interaction of the components. Specially developed gear teeth with low compression allow high pressures to be achieved with low shear rates. The result is a further increase in achievable product quality, volumetric ef fi ciency, as well as production consistency and safety. www.maag.com Ettlinger’s new Eco 500 high performance melt fi lter November 7-9, 2021, Dubai At the KRONES booth A1-34 German Technology Innovative hotrunner optiRun
