Frigel will introduce its 3PR control technology at the show, which provides full wi-fi and Ethernet connectiv- ity for its Microgel range of chiller and temperature control units together with comprehensive status data collection. This includes temperatures, pressures, flow rates and energy use. The new control platform, which can also be used to

provide wi-fi and ethernet connectivity for Frigel’s Heavygel chillers and Aquagel systems, includes a 7-inch, full-colour touch screen that allows users to view, control and optimise all aspects of the equipment based on real-time data across their network. In addition, it automatically adjusts the system when needed to ensure optimum performance based on a wide range of operating parameters. The 3PR system provides maintenance recommen- dations, troubleshooting guides and event/processing data history logs to ensure maximum equipment uptime. It also enables Frigel technicians to remotely access the control system and view real-time data when needed to help with troubleshooting. ❙ www.frigel.com


ICMA San Giorgio will highlight its ICMA 4.0 extruder, a co-rotating twin screw extruder equipped with advanced sensors that support diagnostic capabilities for planning preventive maintenance. The company says the on-board sensors also make it possible to

monitor a wide range of specific process parameters related to product quality. The digital data collected can be made available in a variety of ways, including apps and/or specifically designed web portals on PCs. ❙ www.icmasangiorgio.com


Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) will be highlighting its research activity in additive manufacturing and integrated production technology for plastics process- ing. In the field of additive manufacturing, IKV says it


takes a multi-material approach that covers a range of different products. It performs fundamental analyses to examine the influence of the process on the properties of plastics products, as well as looking at the potential for use of additive manufactured metal mould ele- ments. IKV will also show its latest work in the area of hybrid production for automated combination of different production processes. A production cell will demonstrate automated fine machining of additively manufactured parts, together with various insert operations and integration of further production steps. ❙ www.ikv-aachen.de


Instron will present examples from its full range of testing equipment, including a 5969 electromechanical dual column table-top tensile system with pneumatic grips and nominal load capacity of 10 kN. The unit will be fitted with an automatically contacting AutoX extensometer and TestMaster AT3 automated specimen loading system and will be shown sending all results to a Bluehill 3 test software system. The company will also show two impact testing


systems: a Ceast 9350 floor standing drop tower designed to deliver 0.59J to 757J or up to 1,800J together with an environmental chamber, and a motorised Ceast 9050 impact pendulum. Both systems will be operated using Instron’s Ceast VisualIMPACT software. For HDT and Vicat testing, Instron will show its recently introduced Instron HV Series with an HV6X model with six testing stations and automatic weight application. An ElectroPuls E1000 Electrodynamic Testing System with an AVE2 Advanced Video Exten- someter will be shown for dynamic testing applications. ❙ www.instron.com


JSW will demonstrate its TEX25αIII 26.5mm diameter laboratory twin screw extruder. The machine, which will be equipped with a special side feeder, is designed for development of engineering and high performance
