EXHIBITION PREVIEW | NPE 2024
gate strand die with provision for filtration. The ZSE-40 MAXX model in the co-rotating twin
screw range, suited to colour concentrates and small lot production, has an AC water-cooled motor integrated into the machine design, which operates more quietly than air-cooled motors, and eliminates unwanted air flows in the plant. A ZSE-27 MAXX unit is also being shown. The Leistritz ZSE-12 twin screw extruder is being
exhibited for the first time at NPE. The extruder is suited for continuous operation and is designed for low rate and small batch processing. A ZSE-18 twin screw extruder for R&D uses is also being shown. �

PEARLO X Series pelletiser for through- puts of up to 40 t/hr. Its high level of automation allows start-up and shut- down at the push of a button, while wear-optimised cutting tools maximise production times while minimising downtimes and waste. It will show melt filtration systems, such as the FSC flat screen changer for extrusion applications, which offers ultra compact design and optimised residence time. With the DFS-BF, its Duplex large area filtration systems are now backflush capable, due to the Divexpro valve. Another new product that MAAG will be presenting at NPE is the ContiNeo backflush screen changer. �

At NPE, Milliken will unveil two new additives for polyolefins, Milliken UltraGuard 2.0 and Hyperform HPN 58ei. UltraGuard 2.0 builds on the group’s longstanding line of tailored masterbatches for PE to improve barrier performance in HDPE and LLDPE by up to 70%, supporting more mono-mate- rial packaging options and material downgauging. Hyperform HPN 58ei enhances performance for PP sheets and thermoformed parts to deliver im- proved optical performance, isotropic shrinkage and regrind quality and is FDA-approved for food packaging. Milliken’s Millad NX 8000 platform, a PP clarify- ing agent, is another NPE highlight, showing how it can help lower the energy consumption and cycle time during injection moulding, with UL-certified energy savings of up to 10%. �
