The Leistritz LSB 52 XX side feeder can handle
material with very low bulk densities
model is the latest addition to its ERF melt filter series for filtering heavily contaminated feedstock, while the ECO melt filter has been developed for complex extrusion processes in the manufacture of films, sheets, and other semi-finished products. The ERF 500 is designed for a maximum throughput
of 5,000 kg/hour of post-consumer or post-industrial plastic waste. The compact and durable unit is able to handle contamination levels of up to 18% by weight. Developed for film and sheet applications, the ECO
can remove cross-linked and high-molecular material fractions as well as gels contained in the melt. It is rated for a maximum contaminant level of 1.5% by weight and is offered in two sizes: the ECO 200 for throughputs up to 1,000 kg/h and the ECO 250 for a maximum of 2,500 kg/h. Both the ERF and ECO filters feature a rotating,
cylindrical filter screen. When melt flows through the filter, contaminants are retained on the outside of the screen. The slowly rotating filter screen is cleaned with every revolution by a scraper. ❙

Leistritz will use Fakuma to introduce its new LSB 52 XX side feeder as well as showing a ZSE 60 Maxx twin-screw extruder. The screws of the LSB 52 XX have a very high OD/ID

ratio for feeding material with very low bulk densities. In addition, they can be used with segmented screws so the geometry can be configured according to the requirements of the raw material – just like in the extruder. The side feeder has also been designed to simplify attachment to the extruder barrel, while its materials of construction can match those of the extruder screws and barrels for the feeding of highly abrasive and highly corrosive products. The ZSE Maxx extruders combine high specific
torque (up to 15.0 Nm/cm³) with a high available screw volume (OD/ID = 1.66). As a result, increased through- puts can be combined with low temperatures, ensuring optimized energy efficiency. ❙

Motan-Colortronic will focus its display on its latest Metro G loader range and MetroLink automatic coupling station. The modular Metro G
loader range is designed to allow units to be simply optimised for particular
applications. For example, a standard material loader unit can be 60
expanded into a clean room version simply by adding the special vacuum diaphragm valve. Similarly, a dust removal module can be added to provide fine dust removal at the loader, essential for critical engineering plastics applications where absolutely no dust must be allowed to enter the process. The Metro G system can also be fitted with tangential
material inlet modules to provide a cyclone effect for processing those materials where a more coarse dust separation is required. The new Metro G loaders can work in conjunction
with the compact MetroLink material selection system, which is designed to provide the correct material/ machine connection quickly, reliably and without risk of confusion or contamination. The MetroLink system features automatic setting and monitoring of the material path. Each unit can feed up to 32 processing machines with up to 16 different materials. ❙

Nordson BKG will be highlighting its Optigon process-water filtration system that is claimed to reduce the energy consumption of underwater pelletizing. According to the company, the system uses over 90% less energy than standard water filtration systems and
