EXHIBITION PREVIEW | CHINAPLAS 2019
Right: Sikora’s Purity Concept V is said to make detailed pellet inspec- tion a simpler process
machines ensures precise feed of the pelletising knives during operation, so enabling long runtimes without interruption or loss of pellet quality. An ERF350 high-performance melt filter from
recently-acquired Ettlinger will also be shown at Chinaplas. It reliably filters plastic melts with impurity levels up to 18%. Designed for high efficiency operation, it can achieve a maximum throughput of 3,800 kg/h, depending on the type of melt and degree of impurities, as well as the selected filtration rating. The ERF350 is suitable for all commonly used polyolefins and polystyrenes as well as technical plastics such as styrene copolymers, TPE and TPU. �

Natureworks will aim to show the performance that can be achieved from its Ingeo polylactic acid (PLA) resins. Key to that will be a new refrigerator liner that shows how Ingeo’s properties can be lever- aged to increase energy efficiency – peer-reviewed research at the US Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory showed potential annual savings of 7-15% over the life of the appliance. Specific to the market in China, the company will also be showing Ingeo tapes and peanuts for e-commerce packaging and carrier bag films. And a new generation of Ingeo-based tea bags and coffee capsules will demonstrate how beverage taste and aroma can be maintained in a fully compostable system. �

Shandong Lutai’s Graphene Polymer Composites R&D Centre will display its SCM-6 graphene filled PVC masterbatch. It uses a grafting technique to fix the graphene in the PVC, which is said to result in good nanoscale dispersion. The masterbatch is claimed to achieve permanent high conductivity in final compounds (surface resistivity of 106
-108 Ω)
and is suitable for production of anti-static films and dust management components. �

Sikora will show two solutions for checking quality of compounded plastics at Chinaplas, including its online Purity Scanner Advanced and automated offline Purity Scanner V. The Purity Scanner Advanced online inspection
and sorting system combines X-ray and optical technology to detect contamination inside plastic pellets as well as on their surface. Up to three optical cameras can be used, depending on the expected contamination and application, and these can detect both yellowing and black specks on transparent or opaque parts. X-ray cameras can detect internal metallic contamination. Any sub-standard pellets are sorted out automatically. The offline Purity Concept V provides an auto-
mated system for sample testing or incoming inspection and analysis. Material samples are simply placed on a sample tray and moved through the inspection area where a colour camera identifies and marks contaminated material within seconds. Images are automatically recorded, analysed and evaluated. According to the company, the system is more accurate, more reproducible and more reliable than using a manual light table. �

Zhejiang Java Specialty Chemicals will present its JavachemAF fluorine-containing UHMW polysilox- ane additive for improving processing and hydro- phobicity of PP, TPE and TPV compounds. Used at addition rates of up to 2%, the additive can reduce die drool during extrusion processing and im- proves release in injection moulding processing applications. It also enhances surface appearance, and resistance to abrasion, hydrolysis and chemi- cals, as well as providing a self-cleaning effect. �
