K2019 PREVIEW | MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT
Right: Farrel- Pomini will demonstrate its Synergy control in a compounding tower system
interactive stations demonstrating its capabilities in processing of a variety of challenging and highly filled formulations, including PVC, bioplastics, black and white masterbatch, and calcium carbon- ate filled and flame retarded polymers. HF Mixing will show its new Advise 4.0 Mixing

Room Automation solution. This is a modular and scalable system for mixing room automation that covers everything from raw materials storage, manual and fully automated weighing of small components, mixing, downstream equipment and storage. Automation systems are available for individual areas and machines, with separate applications selectable according to requirements. Standard interfaces within mixing room automation systems enable easy connection to ERP systems and laboratory equipment. �

Feddem will show how its MTS and MTV line of twin screw compounding extrud- ers can meet the increasing demand for fast product changeovers. While it can supply compounding lines tailored to a specific compounding task, it says its MTS and MTV designs, together with its ICX Technol-
ogy, enables configurations to be changed rapidly to handle a wide range
of different production tasks. During K, it will show a FED 26 MTS 32 L/D extruder with a pre-assembled 10 L/D unit that enables the user to extend the machine to 42 L/D. The company says it is possible to lengthen or shorten the processing unit to meet the needs of the compounding task within hours. The company, part of Feddersen Group, will also focus on its newly-developed technology for production of pultruded long-fibre thermoplastics (LFTs). It can now offer five-strand systems with production rates starting at around 7 kg/h for laboratory and development work through to 60-strand systems for large scale production at rates in excess of 1,000 kg/h. The technology has been developed in partnership with sister com- pany Akro-Plastic, which already has an ICX LFT production line in operation. �

Koch Technik will show its latest SLT and MCT controllers for use with its volumetric mixing and dosing stations. The new units use a 7-inch touch screen and offer an extended recipe memory, simple recipe management, password and user hierarchy, alarm outputs for optional fault detectors and an alarm history. A USB output is provided to allow data loading, backup and software updates while an Ethernet connector allows integration with central dosing controllers using Koch’s visualisation software. The units also offer compliance with the OPC-UA communication standard, allowing straightforward data exchange between machine feeders and Manufacturing Execution Systems as part of a smart manufacturing set-up. �

KraussMaffei will introduce four new large addi- tions to its ZE BluePower range of twin screw compounders and demonstrate and a smart inline system for production of coloured compounds as part of an integrated manufacturing system turning recyclate to finished automotive trim parts. The four large ZE BluePower machines will be

its One-Step Upcycling concept, which uses just one compounding extruder to convert post-industrial or post-consumer plastic films or rigid parts and converts them to high value compounds through the addition of fillers, modifiers, reinforcements and additives. It claims that its approach is simpler than alternative two-step systems while providing more flexibility for current and future requirements. The company will also highlight the results of an EU-funded project it has participated in to develop direct extrusion options for recycling. Ecoimpatto and Ecosheet-Pro systems are designed to produce high performance end products from plastic scrap materials. Turnkey plants for production of bio- based compounds will also be promoted. �
