an Intarema TVEplus with Laserfilter to its US Technical Centre – and will show its melt filters from business unit Powerfil. The latter are available as individual components for extrusion plants from other suppliers. At the show, an Intarema T 1108 will be repro- cessing clean LDPE production waste direct and without pre-shredding. In addition, Erema will provide details on its “world’s first” rPET Inline Preform system. Devel- oped with SIPA of Italy, the system is designed to provide a direct process- ing solution to make food-contact-compliant preforms from rPET flakes in a continuous process. �

Ettlinger will be exhibiting at NPE for the first time as a member of the Maag group of companies, showing its latest ERF350 melt filter and a new addition to its ECO filter series. ERF filters are designed to handle
standard polyolefins and polysty- renes, as well as engineering plastics such as styrene copolymers, TPE and TPU, with contamination levels of up to 18%. The new ERF350 is an updated version offering near 30% increased filtration area with no increase in footprint. Depending on the level of contamination of the melt and the screen size used it can deliver a maximum throughput of 3,750 kg/h. Ettlinger has sold close to 400 ERF Series melt filters since the design was introduced in 2004 and says the US recycling industry is proving a good market, especially for its top of the range ERF 500
Right: Frigel’s Microgel units now feature standard digital control and energy monitoring
model that offers throughputs of up to 6,000 kg/h. It has already sold 14 of these units in the US. While the ERF filter is designed to handle
heavily contaminated resins, Ettlinger’s ECO Series filters target easy flowing materials such as PET or PA with contaminant levels of less than 1.5%. The units are said to be proving popular in production lines for PET strapping and thermoforming sheet. The company now offers two models: the ECO 200 with throughputs up to 1,750 kg/h and the ECO 250 for up to 3,000 kg/h. Both can accept screens from 80 to 1,000 microns. �

Frigel will launch the latest version of its Microgel portable temperature control units, which now incorpo- rate digital controls
allowing the user to continuously capture energy consumption data. The company says the ability to
capture energy data in addition to temperature, pressure and flow
rate is a first for a portable unit and will considerably enhance users’ ability to fine tune the production processes and to optimise energy
use. Data is stored in a historical log file and is
easily accessible via a touchscreen. Other Frigel equipment on display includes a
Microgel combination chiller. The temperature control units are equipped with energy saving variable speed drives and available for seamless integration with a cooling tower and an Ecodry closed loop adiabatic central cooling system with optional BWR water recovery (the latter captures all unevaporated water to reduce operating cost). �

Gneuss will show several updated models from its range of Rotary Filtration Systems. Key develop- ments include modified screen changer housings that permit operation on a wider range of applica- tions at higher pressures, enlarged active filtration areas, and further standardisation of components and modules to shorten delivery lead times and lower cost. The company’s premium RSFgenius filter includes integrated self cleaning and is designed for very demanding applications and quality requirements with filtration below 10 microns/1200 mesh available. An RSFgenius 150 with an active filtration area of 70 square inches will be exhibited
