to the needs of automatic sorting for mechanical recycling. NIR Silver are pigments specially opti- mised for their detectability by NIR technology. LASERSAFE 020 is a new pigment for laser mark- ing especially suited for bright marking on dark backgrounds. Very low pigment concentrations in the final application result in bright and high-con- trast markings, the company says. �

At NPE, Entek will feature new twin-screw extrusion equipment and technology, new replacement wear parts with an interactive screw design display, and new material handling equipment. Entek’s HT line, which began with the introduc-
tion of the HT 72 machine in 2020, is being expanded with the development of the new HT 162 and HT 92. Twin-screw technology displays will include: vent flow sensor technology on a 103 mm twin-screw extruder barrel; VFT twin-screw com- pounding technology for increased output and improved product quality; and 37 mm QC3 stuffer, with mounting arm and 4 x 43 mm twin-screw extruder barrels. In the material handling display, a vacuum loader and filter receiver from Entek Adaptive are designed for difficult to handle materials, focused on powders. The systems can be sized from 100 to over 40,000 pounds/hr depending on the custom- er’s need. �

Highlighting recycling at NPE, Farrel Pomini is showing a mechanical recycling system with a large feed hopper for irregularly shaped material, crammer options for low bulk density feeding, proprietary hard surface coatings for maximum wear, a patent-pending grooved mixer feed section and a vent capture system. The company says the Farrel Continuous Mixer also excels as the primary stage of pyrolysis-based chemical recycling
42 COMPOUNDING WORLD | May 2024
Gneuss will show a complete OMNI recycling system featuring a Multi Rotation System (MRS) 130 extruder, a water ring pump vacuum system, a fully automatic melt filtration system RSFgenius 150 and an online viscometer VIS. This machine is designed for the processing of up to 1,000 kg/h of undried and uncrystallised polyester (PET) reclaim. The line on display in Orlando will be delivered to a customer in Peru after the show to process rPET into a thermoforming sheet. �

Kraiburg TPE is highlighting new materials with recycled content during the show. Designed for exterior automotive applications, the RC/UV/AM series adheres to PP and has a post-industrial recycled content of 30-50%. These compounds are suitable for applications with UV resistance, help reduce the carbon footprint and are available in black. They can cover different hardness levels, from 65 to 90 Shore A. The RC/FG/AM series is for automotive interior
applications and adheres to PP. They offer a post-industrial recycled content of up to 40%. They are available in different degrees of hardness from 65 to 85 Shore A. The RC/PCR/AM series is avail- able with a post-consumer recycled content of up to 44% and was developed for applications in the consumer and industry segment. They are available with possible hardness levels from 40 to 90 Shore A and are offered in grey. If necessary, they can be coloured according to customer requirements. �
