Extrusion International 2-2018

61 Extrusion International 2/2018 with FLOWMATIK, a dynamic air-flow management device, OTX drying hoppers with superior mass flow drying characteristics and now MOISTURE METER MANAGER, a revolutionary In-real and real-time mois- ture ana-lyzer. Moisture Meter Manager measures In- line the actual residual moisture content in the granule and checks that the polymer is adequately dehumidi- fied immediately prior the transformation process. The delta measurement between the initial and final moisture content of the pellet, at the hopper inlet and outlet, allows Moisture Meter Manager to auto- matically manage the dryer working conditions and to adapt the process on the fly defining process parame- ters for proper drying and maximum energy efficiency. This process allows the dryer to operate based on the condition of the polymer at any given time, provid- ing a real “drying on demand“. By acquiring the initial data of the material and knowing the final moisture requested, Moisture Meter Manager holds a complete control over the process and manages all the process variables (type of material, final moisture set, hourly production, treatment temperature, specific Airflow). To complete the drying offer Moretto presents its X Dry Air mini-dryer and X Comb range, high performance Automations at CHINAPLAS 2018 Moretto, a leading Italian provider of wide range of automations and technologies for Material Handling, Drying, Blending, Heat Transfer and Size Reduction equipment, will attend this years Chinaplas in Shanghai. Since 1980, Moretto has been providing plastic processors with integrated systems and auxiliary equipment solutions, enabling process automation and optimization, particularly for the high precision requirements of the injection molding of PET preforms. Today Moretto is projected towards the global market. In addition to its headquarters in Italy, the group boasts a global presence with 7 sales branches including China. The Chinese plastic industry market has huge potential and is increasingly sensitive to new technologies. With its local branch Moretto enters in the market offering excellent solutions, know-how, pre-during and after sale service, able to promptly respond to the needs of Chinese customers and establish long-term relationships Drying: At Chinaplas the spotlight will be focused on EUREKA PLUS and MOISTURE METER MANAGER. Eureka Plus is a Modular, Energy-Saving, Resin Drying system, claimed to be “the most advanced low consumption drying system available on the market”. A project born from over 15 years of studies, simulations and experiments and which continues to evolve including new tools and applications. Eureka Plus is comprised of four Moretto-patented tech- nologies: X MAX high performance, modular multi- bed dryer with consistent dew point, combined
