NPE 2015
1.61. Entek is offering the machine with L/D ratios from 40 to 52. The new features are currently only available on the 43-mm diameter machine, which is a new size for Entek. However, the design changes will now be phased in for other machines in the Entek range, which covers diameters from 27 to 133 mm.

Entek has something completely new to attract Its QC3
Entek’s completely new QC3
-43MM
twin-screw extruder is set to be a
highlight of NPE 2015
compounders to its stand at NPE 2015. -43MM twin-screw extruder, which has
been developed for quick cleaning and fast product changes, will be making its world debut at the event. The company says that the machine is the product of
several years of development work, which involved collaborating closely with compounding customers and using lean principles to drive the evolution of its design. The resulting extruder is particularly suitable for the compounding of small to medium lot sizes. One priority of the new development was speeding up and simplifying screw-set changeovers. This has been achieved with a new self-alignment feature that is said to take the worry out of installing the screws into their couplings. The new design only allows the screws to be fi tted in the correct way. All the necessary tools for changeovers and maintenance are mounted at the point of use on the extruder, while guards are designed for easy removal and replacement. Another key goal for the development of the QC3
-
43MM extruder was easy cleaning. The extruder frame has been designed to defl ect dust and keep the machine clean beneath its hood. In addition, stainless steel and powder-coated surfaces have been specifi ed to retain a smart appearance over time. Entek is also offering an optional device for fast and easy barrel cleaning. The new QC3
offers increased production rates
thanks to its higher output shaft torque, which has been increased by 33%, and its higher OD/ID ratio of
Erema North America, the US-based subsidiary of Austrian recycling line manufacturer Erema, will be at NPE to show two different machines and highlight its recent expansion. One of the recycling lines on show will be an
Intarema 1108 TVEplus fi tted with a Laserfi lter. This combination is designed for handling post-consumer plastics waste – Erema reports fast growth in such applications in the USA. The line is particularly suitable for handling the high levels of contaminants that can be found in post-consumer material, including wood, paper, aluminium or copper. The other line on show at NPE will be an Intarema
605 K for the in-house recycling of edge-trim. This fully automated system features direct feeding of the continuous edge-trim, eliminating the need to pre-cut the scrap material. Erema North America is expanding its trial centre at Ipswich, Massachusetts, from 1,000 m2
to 2,400 m2 and
adding a new Intarema 1108 TVEplus post-consumer line alongside its existing three demonstration machines. The expansion is due to be completed this summer. Erema has also recently announced that it is forming
a sister company called Pure Loop. This will focus on ISEC (Integrated Shredder Extruder Combination) lines for the in-house recycling of clean production scrap.

Farrel Pomini will be showing a CP1000 mid-sized compounding line from its CP Series II Compact Processor range. These machines combine an indepen- dently controlled continuous mixer with an extruder system. The company says that this arrangement ensures excellent levels of dispersion and provides high intensity mixing, while maintaining low processing temperatures.
The Compact Processors are particularly suited to

the production of highly fi lled polyolefi n compounds and the manufacture of masterbatches with high loadings of pigments and/or additives. In addition, the machines are capable of handling polymer-elastomer blends and abrasive materials. The CP1000 on show at Orlando will include several new features that are available on new machines or as
