Extrusion 6-2022

58 kompakt Extrusion 6/2022 can be used with virgin plastic polymers for new production processes. MPK stands out for some important features in machinery that process post-consumer material such as the drop down cone with assisted device that allows the ope- rator to quickly proceed with cleaning and maintenance activities thanks to the easy opening which takes only two mi- nutes. An exceptional usability factor in a machine that process critical materials such as regrind and/or flakes. The inter- nal mixer shaft with removable blades can be easily adapted to the different treated material. The blades have a wing profile that moves the material in a homogene- ous way avoiding the formation of lumps during the crystallization phase. The hop- per – with the patented stainless steel shockproof coating SPYRO – insulate the mixer body and contains the heat disper- sion, increasing its energy efficiency. The control of the system processes is man- aged by a touch view control with a sim- ple and intuitive interface. MPK is a latest generation product desi- gned for the intelligent factory, in fact it can be connected to other automations via web and remotely controlled through the supervision and management soft- ware MOWIS which achieves total con- nectivity via MODBUS, ETHERNET, OPC UA. MPK is equipped with the Vortex filtration device, which intercepts the dust of the process circuit increasing its autonomy. The Purex condensate separator filters the material flow back intercepting the volatile oily and/or resinous substances contained in the vapors, impurities typi- cally present in post-consumer materials. Purex contains emissions into the atmo- sphere by condensing the vapors to 99%, thus separating the vapors. Purex protects the environment and people. Dosing is another fundamental process in the plastic transformation to obtain a quality product that respects the design specifications. Having effective equip- ment is therefore essential. Moretto has a wide and complete range of dosers with over 1180 models able to face any dosing request such as DGM Gravix, a batch gra- vimetric dosing unit that ensures com- plete production flexibility and high precision even in the presence of vibrati- In September the appointment is at Drinktec. Moretto will be present in the PETpoint area, an exclusive pavillon dedi- cated to PET bottles with the best solu- tions dedicated to the process of this material: Hall C5 - Stand 234 . Thanks to its properties – strenght, light- ness, aromas barrier, easy processability – PET has seen a constant and gradual in- crease in its use especially in the beverage sector: 70% of PET is used for sparkling drinks, fruit juices, drinks and bottled waters packaging. To the remarkable me- chanical features have to be added the environmental advantages; PET generates a lower quantity of CO 2 than glass or alu- minium packaging. It is one of the most recycled polymers that does not lose its mechanical and physical properties dur- ing the recovery process, a fundamental aspect to obtaining high quality plastic re- sins to be reintroduced several times in the production process. According to this, it becomes essential to use equipment that ensures a perfect material treatment. A crucial process in recycling is certainly the crystallization. MPK Moretto Krystal- lizer, exhibited at Drinktec, is a system de- signed to crystallize post-consumer materials – regrind and washed ready to be transformed. Perfectly treated they ons thanks to the VIS (Vibration Immunity System). MODBUS RS485, USB and ETHERNET connections allow to trace the production in real time and to certify the recipes composition. At the fair a DGM of the 900 series specific for the treatment of flakes will be exhibited. Among the exposed equipment, there will be also a XD 800 X series dryer, an in- novative drying system for large produc- tions and specific for technical polymers such as PET.
