product update | Machinery and equipment PLASTICISING Xaloy offers retrofi t LSR screw option
Nordson has developed a complete Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) injection unit package for retrofi tting to standard injection machines. The Xaloy LSR package has been designed to meet the special mixing and metering requirements of low-viscosity
SIZE REDUCTION liquid thermoset materials. The package includes a special screw
and barrel, with seal, valve and nozzle. The screw is a single fl ight type with an L/D ratio ranging from 12:1 to 14:1. The barrel features a downstream feed port with two welded cooling jackets and an
STATIC MANAGEMENT Ionising curtain from Meech
Static control specialist Meech International has added the 959IPS ionising air curtain to its Hyperion line of static neutralisation and dust removal products.
The 959IPS is a hybrid Piovan adds
granulators The latest addition to Piovan’s granulator product range is the N35-60, designed to handle large lightweight parts such as injection moulded food containers that can tend to bounce in the hopper. The N35-60 features a
tangential cutting system that allows effective and precise cutting with smaller installed motors to save energy. This cutter blade arrangement is said to also reduce dust and heat generation.
The machine features a
90° adjustable hopper that allows four loading positions to be selected.

FOAM MOULDING Trexel targets large parts
Trexel has introduced a new top-end addition to its T Series SCF (Super Critical Fluid) units for delivering and dosing gas in production of MuCell foam moulded components. The Mucell T-400 system is specifi cally designed for foaming of large moulded components weighing from 2.5-12.5kg. The fourth and largest model in the T Series family, it is designed for use on machines with a screw
diameter of more than 90mm and can deliver 50 grams of nitrogen in a 45s cycle
(equivalent to 0.5% by weight INJECTION WORLD | May 2016
for a 10 kg part weight). The T-400 converts
industrial grade nitrogen into a super critical fl uid, precisely dosing and injecting it into the plasticising unit of the injection
moulding machine at a pressure of up to 240 bar. It produces gas on demand to minimise energy consump- tion and maximise booster pump life time. The unit features an
integrated control system with a 15” touch screen user interface. Set up parameters require only inputting the shot size and the percentage of SCF content; the controller calculates dosing require- ments and optimises SCF delivery during screw recovery.

technologies is said to result in a high speed laminar curtain of ionised air that cuts compressed air usage by up to 70%. The air curtain technol-
ogy also ensures a noise reduction of up to 50dBA. The 959IPS runs on a 24V
DC power supply and includes Meech’s Ion Current Monitoring technology (ICM), which ensures high perfor- mance is maintained with local and remote alerts for when the bar requires cleaning.
