❙ French buyers of Arburg’s AllDrive, EDrive and HiDrive moulding machines carrying the e2 energy efficiency label will be eligible for state subsidy as part of the EdF Enterprises energy pro- gramme. The subisidy depends on the machine size and type, installed power and operating conditions but
could amount to more that €7,400 for an Allrounder 570A 1600-1300 model, says Arburg. The company is also including free preparation for an integral picker or robot.

62 Frigel extends EcoDry options
The new compact EcoDry 3DK Closed Loop Liquid Cooler from Italian temperature control specialist Frigel is claimed to cut water and energy consumption by up to 95% compared with a cooling tower, with the latest version offering a number of additional energy and space saving configuration options. Fan exhaust diffusers
located on the top of the new 3DK prevent exhaust air from being drawn into the adiabatic chamber at the base of the unit, helping achieve a 28% energy saving over the standard axial fan model. This design feature also allows the units to be placed closer together, with space savings of up to 30% over the previous design depending on specific
DRYING
configuration. A new adiabatic booster is
available for water tempera- tures equal to cooling towers or for use in hotter climates (Frigel’s proprietary adiabatic chamber system allows air to be pre-cooled prior to introduction to the heat exchanger). The company can provide self-draining systems
for operation without glycol in freezing conditions. Maintenance has also
been reduced with the application of a new acrylic coating on the heat exchang- ers as standard (a more durable PU coating is available for very demanding applications). ❙

AUTOMATION
Static innovation for IML
Motan adds more control
Germany-based Motan-Colortronic has introduced the ATTN auto- matic temperature measurement and control system, which is now a standard feature across the entire Luxor A range of dryers. ATTN has been designed to maintain a constant dew point. It
is installed in the dry air generator and set to a specific dew point value, which can be selected between -30 and +5˚C. With the ATTN system, all drying bins in a dry air generator
are always operating at the respective dew-point value, says the company. ❙

INJECTION WORLD | June 2014
Static control specialist Simco-Ion Europe has launched the CMME, a small charging generator specially designed for IML applications in the plastics moulding industry. The CMME unit has fully
integrated high voltage parts and runs off a 24-V DC supply. Weighing just 340g and resistant to high acceleration forces, the unit is said by Simco to be well suited to end of arm mounting. ❙
