Coperion delivers for LATI pilot plant
Italian technical compounder LATI is updating its pilot production line at its plant at Torba. The project, which will be ready for start-up in May of 2020, includes an automated materials handling system engineered by Coperion. LATI’s product range is broad and includes high-performance structural, flame retardant, self lubricating and conductive compounds for sectors such as automotive, electrical & electronic, appliances, water distribu- tion, and food contact. As a conse- quence, it handles a wide variety of raw materials. Key requirements for the pilot plant included flexibility in operation, fast product changeover, and integration into the company’s plant automation
strategy. The Coperion solution includes bulk bag unloading, weighing stations, vacuum conveying lines and automated raw material bins handling with weighing systems, all of which interface with the existing Coperion K-Tron feeders of the pilot plant at the location. “We were looking for a strong
partner with extensive expertise in the field of difficult to handle and efficiently convey materials,” said LATI CEO Michela Conterno. “With this new pilot line project they [Coperion] helped us tremendously to raise the bar for the complex tasks of handling such a large variety of products and additives as we have.” �

FDA approval for Erema
The US FDA regulatory authority has granted food contact approval for recycled post-consumer HDPE made using Erema’s Intarema TVEplus RegrindPro extrusion system at up to 100% content. The Austrian machinery maker said the decision “opens up new opportu- nities to close the loop in food packaging made of HDPE”. The system uses HDPE which is 99% sourced from post consumer

milk and juice bottles. In combination with the ReFresher anti-odour module, it achieves the purity needed for production of bottles, food dishes and similar products during a one-hour dwell time in the precondi- tioning unit of the recycling extruder. The Intarema TVEplus RegrindPro technology has already been used in a commercially launched shower gel bottle. �
