COMPOUNDING WORLD EXPO 2018 | SHOW PREVIEW


Fraunhofer LBF presents latest studies


Fraunhofer LBF will present two of its recent studies into plastics waste covering upcycling of PET bottles and recycling of flame retardant plastics. The UpcyclePET project involves Easicomp and the Öko-Institut and is developing a direct pultrusion process for production of LFT com- pounds from PET bottle scrap. Work carried out within the flame


retardant plastics project has focused on determining the ageing character- istics of the additives and base


polymers. Results so far are said to be promising, showing that various PA6 and glass reinforced PA66 grades can be recycled multiple times without loss of fire resistance. The institute will also be able to


update visitors on its programme to integrate on-line emissions analysis into the compounding process. It hopes to develop a system to adjust dosing of different odour-manage- ment additives to compensate for variation in raw materials, which is a


Frontier Laboratories is a leading company in analytical pyrolysis with a focus on research, development and production of analytical pyrolys- ers and UA columns for comprehensive GC/MS analysis of polymeric materials. Typical applications include reverse engineering, QC and failure analysis, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of polymers and additives. � www.frontier-lab.com

particular challenge where recycled content is being used. On the plant operation side,


Fraunhofer experts will be available to explain the organisation’s Im- Process4.0 intelligent node-based monitoring system for predicting maintenance on twin screw extrusion lines and its electrochemical off-line screening process to determine the corrosive and abrasive nature of different compound formulations. � www.lbf.fraunhofer.de


GSBI (Govoni Simo Bianca Impianti) has been designing and manufacturing automated systems for bulk material handling for more than 60 years. Its expertise includes turnkey industrial systems and single components for bulk solid handling and encompasses vertical storage silos and tanks, pneumatic and mechanical conveying, weighing systems, mixers and blenders, filters, and pellet cleaners. � www.gsbimpianti.com


Güpo produces an extensive range of thermally conductive fillers. Its product line includes Güpotim A (bi-modal particle distributions), Güpotim T (based on aluminium oxides) and Güpotim WP (tri-modal particle distribution). � www.guepo.de


Gülmer started mineral additive production in Turkey in 1999. Originally focused on fine calcium carbonate, arite and talc for industries such as plastics and paint, it extended into dolomite and gypsum production
