TAIPEIPLAS 2024 | EVENT REVIEW
turer, FCS, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, displayed both a CTE-180E and a SA-160, its newly released outward toggle hydraulic servo energy-saving machine which was used to produce four-cavity PC safety goggles with a cycle time of 35 s, showcasing the MuCell microcellular foaming system which routinely achieves an overall weight reduction of 8-10%. This machine was the recipient of a prestigious Gold award at the event. Everplast, founded in 1993, provides custom-
ised extrusion lines based on market demand and the characteristics of the resin being used. On display at TaipeiPLAS 2024 was a WPC compound- ing line and a machine especially configured to produce fruit netting. The company says to date it has turned out more than 21,000 lines to custom- ers in over 100 countries.
Digital By integrating digitalisation into its machinery, extrusion machine producer Plasco says it has made significant strides in accelerating energy- saving functions and improving operational efficiency, all geared toward helping manufacturers transition from linear production methods to more sustainable, closed-loop systems. Its machinery is designed with advanced energy regeneration capabilities, achieving up to 35% of energy savings by converting heat generated during the extrusion process into electricity which can then be reused to power other parts of the production line. Blown film machinery group Han King is a true success story, the company having rented premises for 30 years before purchasing land and building its own factory in Chiayi County, Taiwan, in 2019. At the exhibition it displayed a mono-layer HDPE blown film machine with an output of up to 230 kg/hr. Yei Yi Machinery is an extruder specialist with over 60 years of experience in recycling and film blowing. The compact 3-in-1 machine on show at TaipeiPLAS 2024 was a combination of shredder, extruder, and pelletiser, fitted with a twin hydraulic cylinder-type screen changer that allows screen changing without machine shut-down. One of the main players in the Taiwanese
extrusion industry is Fong Kee International Machinery (FKI), which was established in 1953 and has now achieved global sales of more than a million units in over 100 countries. The TaipeiPLAS regular is best known for its award-winning I Blow Intelligent Full Electric Blow Moulding Machine and its subsequent upgrade the E Blow. Also exhibiting was Genius Machinery, which specialises in comprehensive recycling plant planning and has over 40 years of experience in

designing and manufacturing recycling equipment. It supplies washing lines, recycling machines, pelletisers, dryers, crushers, shredders, and other equipment, providing a valuable one-stop service. On display was its energy-efficient ShredMax, a shredder integrated recycling machine which simultaneously shreds various types of plastic waste and feeds it into an extruder. Another notable feature is its space-saving potential. Polystar chose not to display any machinery, but
instead gave visitors an insight into its high-efficien- cy, one step Repro-Flex technology, designed for the reprocessing of both printed and non-printed polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE) and polypropyl- ene (PP). The cutter-integrated pelletising system eliminates the need for pre-cutting and requires less space and energy than many of its competi- tors, making it a popular choice in today’s cost- conscious market. Chang Woen, a specialist in recycling and
shredding technology, displayed a scale model of one of its expansive turnkey solutions used for recycling PET bottles, where the waste is passed through several complex, multi-stage procedures. The company also gave a glimpse of its new bale de-wiring machine, set to go on sale later this year.
Outlook So what of the future? TAITRA says: “Our goal is to establish TaipeiPLAS as a dedicated international platform, a pathway for enterprises interested in entering the Asian market. Simultaneously, Asian and Taiwan companies can leverage TaipeiPLAS as a springboard to expand their global business opportunities. In the future, we plan to attract an even more diverse range of exhibitors, making it an all-in-one show that showcases the latest develop- ments in the global plastics and rubber industry, from materials and manufacturing to finished products, as well as circular economy solutions.”
