EXHIBITION PREVIEW | NPE 2024


Right: PH25 pelletiser from Bay Plastics Machinery


At NPE 2024, Ampacet is placing the spotlight on its LIAD Smart line of colour automation systems, including self-cleaning feeders, automated centralised blenders and in-line colour correction. Two new LIAD Smart products will be demonstrated at its booth: the Spectro- Metric 6 and BlendSave Compact. Dealing with colour inconsistency in PCR-containing materials, SpectroMetric 6 is a closed-loop automated system that combines advanced AI inline colour measurement technology with colour correction software to determine the appropriate pig- ments required to correct a colour in-line and automatically meter the pigments in real time. The new LIAD Smart BlendSave Compact is a space-saving, automated resin management and blending system for new and existing operations. It can blend up to 40 raw materials while distributing individual recipes to any 10 machines for total accuracy of blends with zero contamination or human mistakes. � www.ampacet.com


In the run-up to the NPE show,Avient said its highlights would include: the announcement of a new facility in Ohio; launch plans for a “groundbreak- ing” oxygen scavenger technology for PET packag- ing to enhance product preservation sustainably; a new non-PFAS process aid for extrusion; and a new, “super tough” nylon formulation in its recycled content portfolio. The company said a series of technical seminars

stainless steel at all material contact points to comply with pharmaceutical


regulations. Most of the PH25’s cutting chamber parts are easily removable for cleaning and, if required, sterilised in an autoclave. Other BPM products on show


include: the AXM12 large micro pel- letiser, the EVAK-06 and EVAK-12 mid-to-large dewatering machines, the WBX1008-10 mid-to-large water bath for cooling and the WBX0606-6 small-water bath.

CJ Biomaterials, a division of South Korea-based CJ CheilJedang, has introduced two PHA-based compounds developed for blown, cast, and MDO film applications. The company says PHACT CA1270P (clear) and PHACT CA1240PF (opaque) “mark a significant advancement in sustainable flexible packaging, offering excellent performance and environmental benefits”. In testing, both compounds have demonstrated


an “outstanding” balance between stiffness, strength, tear, and puncture resistance, ensuring durability in various packaging applications, it says. � www.cjbiomaterials.com


Sustainability and innovation are key themes for Clariant at NPE, the company says. Its Licocare RBW Vita waxes are based on renewable bio-based rice bran wax feedstocks, a non-food raw material with at least 98% Renewable Carbon Index. It says they are a natural replacement to traditional coal-based montan waxes. Licocare RBWs are suited for polyamide, polyester, PVC, and other engineering polymers.


Clariant is also highlighting new stabilisers in its


AddWorks portfolio. Among these are: AddWorks TFB 117 which helps to improve the quality of nylon fibres; and AddWorks AGC 970 G and 102 G for mulch and greenhouse films. Among its flame retardant additives, Clariant is showing Exolit OP 1400 a high performance, halogen-free flame retardant designed for e-mobil- ity charging at higher voltages. � www.clariant.com


Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim, part of the Hillenbrand group, are jointly exhibiting at booth W1601. The two companies will show how they collaborate in the area of plastics recycling. On display will be a ZSK 58 Mc18 twin screw extruder configured for manufacturing high-quality PET
