ages or seconds while optional filling level and rotation monitoring can
provide greater safety in the dosing cycle. A network interface is also available as an option to allow integra- tion of each Kem-Touch unit into an external ERP-system. OPC-UA commu- nication also ensures the devices will be capable of integration into Industry 4.0
systems. Kem-Touch also has a new dosing motor. This stepper motor with an epicyclic gear case provides retention torque, precise
starting and stopping behaviour, as well as 60% lower energy consumption. Moretto has introduced the DPK, a compact loss-in-weight blender,

suitable for intermittent or continuous dosing of small quantities of colour or additives. The com- pany says the new dosing unit prevents overdosing through extremely precise control. It says the combination of a vibration protection system and machine control algorithm means the DPK can achieve a dosing accuracy to 0.3%. The unit features a removable hopper made of transparent acrylic that allows the operator easily to check fill level while an integrated feeding system handles materials loading, depending on the needs of the processing machine. Wittmann Group has extended its range of

Feedmax basic material loaders with appliances with 15 and 25 litre capacities. The company says that these new models now make it possible to connect material loaders from this series with larger drying hoppers or gravimetric blender systems with higher material throughputs as well. All parts of the Feedmax range which come into contact with the material to be processed are made of stainless steel, and the central part is connected to the pedestal by a clamping ring. The
flow of granulate into the material loader can be optimised by twisting the top part of the appliance. The standard version features a cast stainless steel inlet with a generous wall thickness to withstand abrasive granulates while a sealing surface on the vacuum stopper ensures reliable functionality on the vacuum side of the appliance. The lids of the larger models are also easy to open as there are no hoses in the way.
