42 EVENT PREVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 25 No. 09/24 www.petpla.net Motan, Hall B1 - Booth 1111 Advanced dosing and mixing solutions Motan, known for materials management, presents new additions to its portfolio of reliable and precise gain-in-weight dosing and mixing units, particularly for the medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Additionally, the Motan Group will highlight its Swift brand, known for combining high quality with exceptional price-performance ratios. Flexible and reliable dosing, FDA-compliant The Gravicolor 310 and 610 Gravimetric dosing and mixing units feature Motan’s cone dosing system, allowing precise mixing of up to eight materials with recipe accuracy. Their modular design ensures optimal performance, flexibility, and reliability in injection moulding, blow moulding, and especially extrusion applications. For the medical and pharmaceutical industries, the company introduces the Gravicolor 110 med. This FDA-compliant unit, designed for injection moulding, blow moulding, and extrusion, utilises vertical slide technology for precise mixing of up to four materials, ensuring maximum recipe accuracy. All Gravicolor units are equipped with the enhanced Intelliblend analysis function, which records and documents recipes, materials, and operating environments. This selfoptimising system ensures users achieve the best possible working point continuously. Swift brand The Motan Group’s Swift brand will showcase several products claimed to emphasise simplicity and efficiency: sDry 250 dry air generator: It offers energy efficient drying with good dewpoints and advanced features as standard. sCompact dry air dryer: Available in various sizes, for single or twin processing machine applications. The flexible dryer with integrated conveying and the option of controlling a dosing & mixing unit via its full colour touch display. sConvey Hos material loaders: Cost-effective and efficient conveying process automation. sColor V additive dosing & mixing unit: Ideal for masterbatch and regrind dosing applications, offering quick delivery and cost-effective performance. www.motan-group.com Engel Halle A5 - Booth 5203 Solutions with a focus on customer benefit At the heart of Engel’s presentation are high-precision injection moulding machines designed for modern production environments, with enhanced material and energy efficiency. The fully electric e-mac 500 injection moulding machine, with a clamping force of 5,000 kN, is claimed to combine high performance with energy efficiency and a compact design. Its clamping drive and iQ motion control digital assistance system reduce energy consumption by up to 30% compared to hybrid or hydraulic machines, according to Engel. The e-mac 500 is versatile, with optional expansion packages, making it suitable for energy-intensive processes. At the trade show, it will be producing 4 l containers with in-mould labelling. Tie-bar-less technology Engel has optimised its e-victory 100 for high-precision liquid silicone rubber (LSR) applications. With a 256 cavity mould, it is claimed to achieve a cycle time of 12 s and to ensure consistently high part quality. Thanks to Engel’s tiebar-less technology, the entire platen surface is utilised, thus optimising clamping force. Plug-and-play solutions for the European market Engel is introducing the new generation of t-win machines from its Wintec brand, featuring over 20 new options. These include iQ clamp control for optimising clamping force, reducing waste, energy use, and tool wear, and iQ hold control, which automatically adjusts holding pressure to speed up volume production. Many more options will be available by the end of 2024. Additionally, Engel will showcase the victory 160, producing fittings at the show, as well as digital assistance systems that optimise the production process from design to volume production and service. In the “Automation Expert Corner,” Engel will present solutions with viper linear robots, easix articulated robots, and conveyor systems, all seamlessly integrated into Engel’s control systems for process optimisation. www.engelglobal.com
