Extrusion International 6-2025

32 Extrusion International 6/2025 К 2025 (±0.1 ms). Built on the market’s ex- tensive experience in medical extru- sion, these products ensure maxi- mum performance. • Grado Adroit 8: a batch gravi- metric blender with integrated extrusion control handling up to 8 components. Thanks to its fully modular architecture, users can in- dependently change the number of ingredients at any time. • Vento: an automatic lm cooling and thickness control system based on a triple- ow ring that delivers a threefold effect – cooling, stabil- ity, and control. “Double chimney” and “lifting system” options further boost line productivity. • GDS9-2000: a new high- throughput gravimetric feeder (up to 2,000 kg/h) designed to precisely handle pellets, regrind, and pow- ders—even in complex extrusion and compounding plants. • AryaDew: an innovative mold- enclosure dehumidification system with closed-loop technology that delivers up to 70% energy savings and stable processing conditions. • PETChiller+: a new PET mold- cooling system that cuts cycle times by up to 30% and optimizes energy consumption with modu- lating compressors and inverter- driven pumps. PiovanGroup www.piovan.com Innovative e-Forming Thermoforming Series Launched CANNON unveiled its new and patented e-Forming thermoform- ing range of machines at K 2025. CANNON e-Forming is designed to set a new benchmark to lower energy usage, introducing new concepts in optimized machine ge- ometries, intelligent power man- agement, and AI-driven automatic parameter setting. The footprint of the machine is the smallest avail- able on the market, based on CAN- NON's patented “Triplo", the most compact and widest adjustable tool change system that guarantees the maximum standard in safety and compatibility. “Sustainability is a top priority in our industry, and energy ef ciency remains a cornerstone of our in- novation,” said Giuseppe Dall’Ora, Thermoforming Sales Manager at CANNON. “Our new e-Forming ma- chines con rm CANNON’s legacy of solid performance while introducing smart automation, intuitive opera- tion, and enhanced exibility – key factors in meeting the evolving de- mands of small-batch production.” The e-Forming series is ideal for manufacturers of large, thermo- formed parts. Its intuitive interface supports operators by recommend- ing optimal processing parameters during setup and operation. At the heart of the system is “Easy Power Mapping,” a revolutionary, AI-pow- ered, and patented innovation that intelligently con gures machine initial settings to enhance process stability, optimize material distri- bution, lower sheet thickness, and drastically reduce energy use. Among its standout features is CANNON’s renowned “Easy Tool Change” system, which enables fast, safe, and complete tool changes – an essential advantage for high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. The redesigned mechanical layout also simpli es maintenance by improving access to its components, while the machine’s compact design allows it to t in spaces where others cannot. Connectivity is another strong suit, with the proprietary “Connect-IT” enabling seamless integration of the machines into factory information systems via standard industrial com- munication protocols. The CANNON e-Forming ma- chines are already available globally and fully supported by CANNON’s worldwide service and distribution network.
