tion (EPC) technology in combination with a 2400 Series vacuum receiver for refilling. The T35/S60 Quick Change feeder allows the
entire feeding module to be removed, with the screws in place, and replaced with a second unit. This allows cleaning to be taken offline so the feeder can be put straight back to work. It is available with single screw modules for handling free-flowing powders and non-flooding materials such as pellets, or with twin screws for floodable powders and sticky materials. Designed to work with Coperion K-Tron’s full

shells are insulated to reduce the temperatures on the process section surface. The machine also features a removable sleeve in
the barrel opening, which helps save time during job changeovers, while the vent port is now equipped with a tray to catch drips and overflows. Die head updates include a fast-opening die head, again making cleaning between jobs a simpler pro- cess. The STS 35 Mc11

58mm diameter screw. This high end model is locally assembled and will be shown fitted with two Coperion K-Tron feeders: a K-ML- SFS-KT20 Compact Twin Screw Feeder designed for high accuracy at low feed rates and a K2-ML-D5- S60 Single Screw Feeder for handling free flowing pellets or powders. The Coperion display will be completed with an SP Treasure strand pelletiser. Assembled at the company’s plant at Nanjing, the machine uses a cutting chamber designed and produced by Coperion Pelletising Technology in Germany and is intended to process highly abrasive reinforced materials. It offers a working width of 220mm and can process up to 55 strands at throughput rates of up to 2,500 kg/hr. �

range of gravimetric feeders, Actiflow is a smart bulk solids activator that is said to eliminate bridging and rat-holing. EPC technology provides steady pressure compensation in loss-in-weight hoppers and outlets to improve accuracy and reliability. The electronic system is said to be less costly and easier to install than traditional mechani- cal alternatives. The company’s display will be completed with a
K-ML-BSP-150-S Bulk Solids Pump. Designed for gentle feeding of free flowing granular materials, the unit uses vertical rotating discs that create feeding ducts to reliably move material without the need for screws. Capable of feeding rates of between 34 and 6,700 dm3
/h, the units have only one
moving part and can be cleaned in seconds, according to the company. �

Covestro will introduce its Makrolon Rx3440 polycarbonate for medical applications to the Chinese market. Pitched at IV connector components, the new grade is said to offer better strength retention and chemical and oncology drug resistance than current alternative options and can be used to produce thinner designs without compromising on safety. The company developed a special chemical testing
apparatus for luer connectors during the development of the Rx3440 grade, which meets ISO 10993-1
biocompatibility and USP Class I standards. The apparatus enables immersion tests to be carried out under real world loadings and allows forces to be adjusted to accelerate results. The company says it can make the test equipment available to potential customers to evaluate luer development projects. �
