NPE 2015 | exhibition preview MB Conveyors Booth S22125
Italian company MB Conveyors is exhibiting for the first time at NPE this year and will show a selection of equipment from its range, including belt conveyors, sprue separators, and storage devices. The company – which manufactures more than 4,000 conveyors each year - will demonstrate three different sprue-separation applica- tions, each designed to show how collection transport, selection and storage of moulded parts can be optimised for specific production requirements. New for the show is a custom conveyor equipped with PC guards and designed for operation in combination with robotic arms. ❙

Masterduct Booth S32189
Masterduct, the US subsidiary of Germany’s Masterflex Group, will show its new Master-PUR hose, a spiral- type food grade and flame retardant hose designed for powder and granule handling applications where static must be controlled. Master-PUR products offer a surface resistance of R0
>109 and feature a seamless
smooth and abrasion resistant inner lining. The company will also exhibit its Master-SIL 2 hose, a
lightweight and flexible hose offering high temperature and chemical resistance. The company says it is well suited for extraction of warm air from plastic dryers. ❙

Moretto Booth W7371
The centrepiece of the Moretto display at NPE will be the Italian company’s Eureka resin drying technology, which can be configured to process up to 12,000 kg/h of engineering plastics using more than 50% less energy than competing systems. Latest developments to the core system components include a new energy-saving multi-stage blower for the core X-Max zeolite dryer and optimised airflow management on the OTX hopper thermal exchange units. ❙

Ranger Automation Booth W2437
US-based Ranger Automation will be showing its RTA robots at NPE. According to the company, the RTA models are designed to provide high performance at a low price, including features such as dual pressure circuits, two vacuum circuits with confirmation sensors, and tool-less end-of-arm tooling changeover as standard. Five models are available in the RTA range, covering injection machines from 50 to 1,500 tonnes. The company will also display its Ultra-Compact
robot, which provides an automation solution where overhead clearance is limited. The robots use a triple-stage vertical axis that saves space and also allows removal speeds to be increased by up to 50% over a conventional robot. Ultra-Compact models are offered in 3-axis to 6-axis versions. Visitors will also be able to try out Ranger’s latest
teach pendant. The GT1455 is now standard on all of the company’s robots and includes a quick teach mode, conditional ‘IF-THEN’ programming, Ethernet commu- nication and USB port. It also offers a Cycle Match routing function that automatically adjusts robot speeds to suit the moulding cycle. ❙

Motan-Colortonic Booth W3315 Motan-Colortronic will present its new Metro G range of material loaders, which are designed to reduce waste and increase productivity. The modular building block approach to the Metro G range allows
users to configure
and create the optimal material loader for any application. For example, a standard
loader unit can be upgraded to a clean room version simply by adding the special vacuum dia-
phragm valve. Dust removal modules can be added to all Metro G
range loaders for processing critical engineering plastics. A tangential material inlet is also offered to provide a cyclone effect for processing materials where more coarse dust separation is required. The new loaders can work in conjunction with the company’s compact Metrolink material selection, which allows a maximum of 32 processing machines to be fed with up to 16 different materials. ❙
