be compact and to address one of the key chal- lenges in LFT production, maximising uptime. They are also said to offer very good pellet quality and repeatability. The company will also show an FED 43 MTS 32 L/D twin-screw extruder. Aimed at pilot and small batch production operations, it offers a screw diameter of 43 mm and up to 142 kW drive power. �

Dreyplas
Plastics distributor Dreyplas will show the melt processi- ble Lubmer ultra-high-molec- ular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) from Mitsui Chemicals. Compared with sintered semi-finished products, the company says Lubmer offers considerable production cost savings and finished parts with good surface slip properties. Taken together with its suitability for recycling in the polyolefin stream, the company says the polymer can provide a sustainable alterna- tive to engineering plastics such as PPS, POM, PA or PBT in some applications. �

Koch Technik Materials handling specialist Koch-Technik will present the latest
MCGT control unit for its Graviko gravimetric mixers. The new units feature an OPC-UA communica- tion interface to simplify integra- tion into an existing materials distribution system, together with touch-screen input of data. Each MCGT unit can control up to four dosing units and one Graviko mixer.

Elix Polymers Styrenics specialist Elix Polymers will be presenting its E-Loop products and services, a new branding that brings together all of its Circular Economy- focused materials. These include grades using either chemically or mechanically polymers. An example is its E-Loop H801 MR ABS, which contains mechanically recycled resins but is said to match the performance of its virgin ABS H801 material. �

LehVoss Lehvoss will introduce the latest addition to its Luvocom XCF line of high performance carbon fibre reinforced compounds, a PPA-based product offering a strength of 425MPa, stiffness of 47GPa, impact strength of 100 kJ/ m2
, and low density of 1.37 g/cm3 .
Intended for demanding metal replacement applications, the new compound joins the existing PA66, PPS, PPA, and PEEK options. Also new is Luvocom 60-50097, a carbon fibre reinforced PP that is said to offer an alternative to PA6 and PA66. It offers a strength of 170MPa, stiffness of 18GPa, and notched impact strength of 11 kJ/ m2
. Unlike PA, it shows no decrease in perfor- October 2021 | COMPOUNDING WORLD 79
