EVENT PREVIEW | COMPOUNDING WORLD CONGRESS
Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF in Germany, will speak about the application of Industry 4.0 technologies for monitoring compounding processes. Then, Luis Roca Blay, Head of Compounding at AIMPLAS in Spain, will detail the technical institute’s work on the prediction of mechanical properties of carbon- fibre-reinforced thermoplastics using inline measurement of electrical conductivity during compounding. The final session of the first day of the Com- pounding World Congress will examine formula- tion optimisation. Dr Gary Ogden, Technical Manager at Wells Plastics in the UK, will present some case-studies covering formulation and production of cost-effective multi-component additive masterbatches. Secil Yilancioglu, R&D Manager at Eurotec in Turkey, will cover the challenges of developing density-modified compounds that meet demands for light-weight or heavy-weight thermoplastic components. And the development of a customised flame-retardant compound from concept to finished product will be detailed by Dr Pascal Wolfer, Senior R&D Manager at Lapp Engineering in Switzerland.
Adding functionality Development of added-value compounds with enhanced functionality will be the theme for the opening session of the second day. Tom Daniëls, Global Market Manager Conductive Plastics at
Expert participants at the Compounding World Congress in Cologne, Germany, in June include (from top): Witcom Engineering Plastics Business Development Manager Christine Van Bellingen; Eurotec Managing Partner (Technical) Murat Cansever; Audia Plastics/Washington Penn Plastics Director of Technology Europe Dr Adam Galambos; Eurotec R&D Manager Secil Yilancioglu; BASF Advanced Materials & Systems researcher Dr Itana Lohse; and Coperion Global Head of Process Technology Frank Lechner
Bekaert Fibre Technologies in Belgium, will open proceedings with an examination of the use of the latest metal fibre technologies to significantly increase electrical conductivity of thermoplastic compounds for EMI and ESD applications. Michaël Claes, Chief Technology Officer/Global Strategic Account Manager, Nanocyl in Belgium, will detail adoption trends and future opportunities for nanocomposites based on carbon nanotubes, presenting an application case-study. Then Anna Ellett, Field Application Engineer Polymers at Imer- ys Graphite & Carbon in Belgium, will present the findings of a research project examining tribologi- cal performance of graphite-filled compounds. The next session will focus on formulation and
processing of heavily-filled compounds. Dr Itana Lohse, Advanced Materials & Systems Research – Polymer Processing & Engineering at BASF in Germany, will explore the opportunities and challenges presented by highly-filled polymer compounds. Ralf J Dahl, Director Sales Extrusion at KraussMaffei Berstorff in Germany, will provide tips on how to achieve high-performance and energy-efficient production of such compounds. And Frank Asmuss, Business Development Manager at Nordson in Germany, will follow with a look at the design and operation of underwater pelletisers for highly-filled compounds. The final session of the conference will look at optimised production. Frank Lechner, Global Head of Process Technology at Coperion in Germany, will open with a presentation explaining how to implement a logic-based programme for compounding line debottlenecking and how that can improve profitability. Dipl Ing Bernhard Hüppmeier, Business Development at Brabender Technologie in Germany, will discuss ways to improve handling of non-flowable, long-fibre materials. And Peter Gohl, Sales Engineer at Farrel Corporation in the US, will close the conference with a discussion of optimised production of PLA compounds using continuous mixer technology.
About the Compounding World Congress
AMI’s fourth Compounding World Congress takes place in Cologne in Germany on 4-5 June 2019.
