Right: Moretto claims its DPM series micro level dosers can maintain accuracies of ±0.03%
fed and flood-fed applica- tions. Installation direct on the extruder is possible while the total height has been kept to the minimum to allow easy integration into existing installa- tions. Dosing modules are ex- changeable and can be removed without tools. In addition to modules for bulk solids, gravimet- ric supply hoppers with dosing pumps for liquids can be used. Motan Colortronic has devel- oped a new load cell system for the SpectroPlus. Comprising strain gauge load cells and a digital transducer this is said to be easy to calibrate and offers low susceptibility to external interference. The Spec- troNet control system is also new and can be used with dosing modules from Motan Colrtronic and from third party suppliers. �

ProTec Polymer Processing will be demonstrating a high speed retrofit for its LFT pultru- sion lines that can lift output from 30 to 50 m/min. The upgrade incorporates an additional preheater and optimised die geometry, which allows the temperature to be adjusted more quickly to ensure that very good fibre impregnation is maintained at higher

production rates. Cooling capacity is also increased with an additional water bath and the company has made some changes to the pelletiser, which is designed to cut the strands at high speed to the lengths of 6-12mm.
ProTec’s LFT pultrusion lines can be designed to handle any thermoplastic matrix, while reinforce- ment options include glass, steel, aramid and carbon fibres. It is also possible to incorporate recycled materials and additional fillers if required. The company will also be showing Batchmix 50

Plasmec, which is marking its 50th anniversary this year, will show two of its latest mixing systems: a Combimix-HC-800/2500 and a TRR-1500/FV container mixer. The Combimix-HC is said to be well suited to technical mixing applications such as PVC or WPC dry blend production. Combimix-HC models are available in 11 sizes covering the range from 200/800 to 2500/8500 litres capacity and offer high outputs due to the optimised TRM high speed mixer and HEC cooling technology. The TRR container mixer provides an alternative to conven- tional turbomixers for masterbatch, pigment and technical compound preparation. It is particulatly suitable for applications requiring the flexibility to handle a wide range of different recipes on the same machine. �

and Batchmix 350 batch dosing units from its SOMOS series, which comprises fourteen models offering throughputs from five to 3,000 kg/h. The smallest unit in the range – the Batchmix 50 – pro- vides a throughput of up to 50 kg/h and can dose up to four components. Larger models can handle up to twelve components. A number of precision dosing devices are available to handle various pellet and regrind blends. �

Schenk Process adds a new smaller model to its ProFlex C line of feeders for the compounding and masterbatch industry and introduces a second variant of its Simplex FB flat bottom feeder for flake and fibre materials. The Proflex C100 model is a new smaller version
of the company’s established Proflex C feeder, joining the established C500, C3000 and C6000 units. Designed for continuous feeding of bulk materials such as powders, pellets, granule and fibres into smaller compounding and masterbatch extruders, the company says up to five C100 units can be grouped around a single feed inlet. Consist- ent and accurate feeding is ensured by the use of a flexible wall liner that is massaged at eight points to prevent sticking and bridging while the feed hopper can be exchanged without the need to disassemble the feed screw. The Simplex FB 650 flat bottom feeder joins the FB1500 unit introduced three years ago. It is a modular loss-in-weight machine designed for
