40 EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 04/24 www.petpla.net Energy-efficient material drying for low throughputs Eisbär will feature Plug&Dry, a complete solution designed for efficient material drying. With just a power connection and a material pipeline, the compact Plug & Dry offers material drying for PET granules, flakes, and of course, other materials. It consists of material drying, drying hoppers, and material conveyance. Plug&Dry is optimised for low throughputs, ranging from 25 to 200 kg/h. Despite its high efficiency, this system maintains a compact footprint, making it a space-saving alternative to conventional drying systems. A closed-loop system is used for rapid material drying. Plug & Dry is claimed to offer a continuous drying process, low energy costs, and a long lifespan. In addition, the absence of separate cooling technology or a cooling water connection enhances Plug&Dry’s flexibility, allowing for easy deployment and relocation. Key advantages of the solution include its simplicity of operation, low energy consumption, minimal maintenance requirements, and compact design. By eliminating the need for cooling water and additional cooling technology, Plug&Dry further emphasises its environmentally friendly approach. www.eisbaer.at Eisbär South Hall, Level 1 Booth S15083 Weima West Hall, Level 1 Booth W4781 + W4789 Booth 25 Tangerine Ballroom Recycling Zone Shredding, recycling & waste management Weima, a leading provider of size reduction equipment, is set to showcase its latest developments in plastic shredding, recycling, and waste management. With a focus on enhancing efficiency, promoting circularity, and maximising value throughout the plastics lifecycle, the company offers a diverse range of solutions tailored to meet the challenges encountered by plastics manufacturers, recyclers, and processors. Among the highlights at the Weima booth are the WLK 10, WLK 800 F+, and WKS 2200 single-shaft shredders. The WLK 10 single-shaft shredder offers versatility in processing a wide array of plastic materials, i.e. PET bottles. With its robust design and V-rotor technology, and its adaptable configurations, it is claimed to ensure optimal performance tailored to specific applications, while features such as a lift-up screen basket enhance convenience for operators. As an Official Recycler of NPE2024, Weima will showcase its shredders and granulators in action. Outside the main hall, visitors can witness the operation of the equipment as part of the Destroy Responsibly program, which aims to divert demonstration scrap from landfills by repurposing it. Realtime shredding of plastic scrap will take place in the Recycling Zone behind West Hall, with the material being reintroduced into plastic production processes by Commercial Plastics Recycling, Inc., in line with the goal of recycling 100% of the plastic scrap generated on the show floor in 2024. In addition to shredding, Weima offers expertise in draining and compression processes. www.weima.com Solutions for manufacturing, processing, conditioning and recycling plastics Maag Group has long been a leader in the development of die plates for underwater pelletising systems for compounding. With the recent acquisition of AMN, Maag expands its offerings to include die plates for virgin polyolefin production, leveraging the combined expertise of industry leaders such as AMN, Automatik, and Gala. Maag will exhibit the new Pearlo X Series pelletiser for throughputs of up to 40 t/h. Its high level of automation allows start-up and shut-down at the push of a button, while wear-optimised cutting tools maximise production times while minimising downtimes and waste. The company will also showcase its comprehensive range of filtration solutions spanning extrusion, virgin polymer production, and mechanical and chemical recycling processes. At the heart of the mechanical recycling portfolio is the high-performance melt filter from Ettlinger. The continuousrunning machines are specially designed for highly contaminated post-consumer recycling applications. The ERF and Eco series can deliver throughputs of up to 10 t/h depending on the application. On display at NPE will be an ERF 1000, the largest Ettlinger continuous filter available. For compounding and masterbatch applications, the company will feature the PrimoPlus 300 dry-cut pelletiser and a JSG pelletising system model. Maag also introduces Vectored Air Technology, a new mill housing that is claimed to enable throughput increases of up to 25% on the Rex Duo Plus pulveriser. Additionally, the company emphasises its commitment to customer service and after-sales support, offering roundthe-clock assistance globally, either in person or remotely. The recently launched MyMaag e-shop offers custom and plantspecific spares and wearing parts at the click of a mouse any time 24/7. www.maag.com Maag West Buidling, Level 2 Booth W3961 Expo Hall
