The Next Revolution in Conveying
M
oretto has long sought not only to
develop pioneering and industry
leading new products but also the ma-
nagement systems that control them.
Today Moretto is the only company able
to provide both the in-house designed
and manufactured products for both
conveying as well overall system ma-
nagement. At Moretto they call this sys-
tem management the ONE WIRE SERIES.
Included in the series are specialized
EXA, ONE WIRE 3 and ONE WIRE 6 con-
figurations and were developed with
modularity and adaptability in mind so
customers can grow and modify their
management system as their plant con-
ditions and requirements change.
From two to up to six receivers Moretto
offers the EXA system which adapts a
three-phase conveying system with an
integrated central control for true ma-
nagement of the entire system. The
name EXA is derived from Greek culture
which considered EXI, or 6, to be the
perfect number. In turn the EXA system
is able to manage up to a total of six re-
ceivers. EXA system clients have a dedi-
cated electronic board developed to
create a mini-centralized system with on-
ly one vacuum pump and six total recei-
vers. This system is specifically designed
for dosing systems for up to six compo-
nents and centralized systems manage-
ment including gravimetric and/or volu-
metric dosing units, loss in weight blen-
ders, drying systems up to six hoppers
and injection moulding machines.
Continuous evolution in resin
conveying systems has pushed
manufacturers in recent years
to release additional new
features, such as pipe
cleaning management for
conveying regrind material,
self-cleaning receiver filters
and loading failure alarms.
All of these features have
now become standard in
modern centralized systems
and pose the question, what
is the next evolution to come
to market?

Moving beyond EXA and a requirement
to manage more than six clients custo-
mers can choose to upgrade EXA to the
ONE WIRE 3 series. This upgrade pro-
vides for the inclusion of a plc which
adds centralized server functionality and
the ability to add up to 80 total clients.
Beyond this, ONE WIRE 3 builds on EXA
providing a dual zone function that al-
lows for management of two vacuum
pumps connected to a single sorting sta-
tion, machine que management and se-
parate materials que management. Fur-
ther users can manage the system with
both a touchscreen central interface, the
Master 300 control or the wireless
Master 600 control.
The ultimate expression in conveying sys-
tem management is the Moretto ONE
WIRE 6 series. It is the only system avail-
able in the market today capable of au-
tomatically adapting to dynamic changes
in plant status.
ONE WIRE 6 features all the ONE WIRE 3
skills, and improve them with the exclu-
sive VIBE technology developed by
Moretto that allows the system to auto-
matically setup and optimize the quanti-
ty of resin being conveyed. This differs
significantly from a conventional system
where the operator is required to set the
