EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 03/24 www.petpla.net 32 Focus on green issues, recycling and energy efficiency Pegaso Industries, the holding company headquartered in Borgoricco, Italy, and encompassing Plastic Systems, PET Solutions, Blauwer, Ergomec, and Steel Systems, is gearing up for active participation at both the Chinaplas in Shanghai and NPE in Orlando. Central to its showcase are innovation and sustainability, with a specific emphasis on green issues, recycling, and energy efficiency. Chinaplas serves as a pivotal platform to introduce developments in auxiliary automation for plastic material transformation across various sectors including automotive, medical, beverage, packaging, electronics, and cosmetics to the Asian market. Plastic Systems Shanghai Co. Ltd., founded in 2006, has emerged as a significant player in the Asia-Pacific region, boasting over 80 employees and an annual production of more than 100 systems. DR9 series new generation dryer The DR9 Series by PET Solutions represents a development in dehumidifier technology which particularly addresses the quality of rPET materials. Featuring a dual filter system, it achieves a remarkable 47% increase in filtration capacity, streamlining maintenance operations. In addition, the dehumidifier achieves a 15% reduction in energy consumption due to their new patented process design, with fans positioned after the drying towers. The larger size of the exchanger provides a 45% increase in cooling capacity. The dehumidifier’s efficiency is further accentuated by its ability to recover 25% of energy during rPET processing, eliminating the need for an oil condenser and contributing to overall system energy savings. DWC series rotor technology dryer Equipped with rotor technology, the DWC series by Plastic Systems is claimed to ensure high-level performance in dehumidification, catering to medium-scale productions with maximum efficiency and versatility. The DWCompact models employ rotor technology, offering capacities from 20 to 280m3/h and allowing for the management of hopper loading and machine transformation. Their sophisticated microprocessor control combined with a weighing system and intuitive operator interface make them ideal for various sectors, including optics and pharmaceuticals. At NPE, Pegaso Industries group will be present, along with all its companies, in the West Hall with a booth of approximately 400m2 where it will be possible to view the results of the latest patented developments. DRV series continuous vacuum drying system The DRV Series by PET Solutions integrates continuous vacuum drying technology, incorporating four hoppers and a hot air circulation system to accelerate dehumidification and ensure uniform processing. This system offers precise control over resin temperature, optimising material properties for injection moulding: 1st hopper: preheats the resin, gently removing surface moisture from the material. 2nd hopper: heats the resin to energise the material. 3rd hopper: using vacuum technology, creates a low-pressure environment favourable to moisture evaporation from the material. 4th hopper: increases the resin temperature for fine adjustment before injection moulding. SDS series dry-cooler Designed for closed-loop water cooling using ambient air, the SDS series dry-coolers from Blauwer feature high energy efficiency, contributing to reduced energy and water treatment consumption. With various models available, ranging from 60 to 1,600 kW, these dry-coolers are claimed to offer flexibility to meet diverse production needs. The main features of this solution include the high-efficiency finned aluminium heat exchanger with copper pipes, axial fans with speed control, and a microprocessor control with a 7” touchscreen display and alarm history. www.pegasoindustries.com Pegaso Industries Hall 2.1 Booth F81 Pegaso Industries West Building, Level 2 Booth W3331
