K2022 PREVIEW | MACHINERY
Right: The new Buss Compeo Lab compounder with detached twin-screw discharge unit
V200 vibratory feeder will be fitted on the main intake while the ZS-B easy will be equipped with a K-ML-SFS-BSP-100 BSP feeder. Coperion will also display an STS Mc11
series lab
extruder with 25 mm screw and an entire produc- tion line for recycling of PET, encompassing bulk solids handling, feeding, extrusion, and pelletising. Coperion K-Tron will show a preconfigured
Bausano will be showing its Smart Energy System for induction heating of the extruder barrel. Claimed to significantly reduce energy consump- tion, the technology uses forced-cooled induction coils wrapped in insulating materials to minimise heat loss while channels allow air to be directed onto the plasticising cylinder for faster cooling. The system will be displayed on a Nextmover twin screw extruder equipped with a double output head and configured for manufacturing PVC pipe. The company will also be showing its new E-GO R
single screw technology, which has been developed to feed highly contaminated plastics back into production processes. Example applications include HDPE waste from containers for milk, motor oil, soap, and bleach, PP waste from lunch boxes, yoghurt pots, and medicine bottles, and LDPE waste from cling film, and shopping bags. The Smart Energy System can also be applied to the E-GO R machines. �

Buss will launch its Compeo Lab compounder at K 2022, which it is targeting at R&D activities in developing areas such as batteries, bioplastics, ceramics, plastic-bonded-magnets, bipolar plates. The new laboratory kneader extruder is capable of throughputs of 50-100 kg/h in development, process optimisation and small production campaigns. It is said to offer all the advantages of the larger Compeo co-kneaders — including the ability to combine two, three and four-flight screw elements — and provides reliable scale-up of process parameters to production conditions.

Coperion and Coperion K-Tron will present a variety of developments aimed at increasing the efficiency of plastics compounding processes while at the same time achieving high product quality. Exhibits include a 70mm ZSK Mc18
extruder
equipped with a ZS-B easy side feeder and ZS-EG side devolatilisation unit, both of which are designed for easy removal from the process section to significantly reduce the time needed for recipe changes or maintenance tasks. A K3-ML-D5-

ProRate Plus feeder. Other materials handling developments include the ZXQ 800 rotary valve, which has been designed for powder intake into pneumatic conveying lines at up to 3.5bar. The company will also display its SWB-300 Smart
Weigh Belt Feeder with a S100 single screw pre-feeder, as well as the new ZS-B 70 MEGAfeed side feeder. The SWB is described as a reliable gravimetric feeder suitable for processing large volumes of bulk materials with a wide variety of flow properties. The ZS-B MEGAfeed is designed to handle intake-limited materials with bulk densities of less than 200kg/m that are frequently encoun- tered it the recycling sector. �

Farrel Pomini will launch its High-Dispersion (HD) Rotor. Suitable for use on all of its Compact Processor models, the new rotor offers an extend- ed 10:1 L/D format mixing section and an opti- mised concave feed flight design to increase conveying efficiency and improve dispersion of fillers and pigments. Rotor cooling is also used on the mixing section to increase residence time of the material in the semi-molten state, which results in a higher material viscosity and increases the energy input to maximise dispersive mixing. �

Feddem will present a FED 26 MTS twin-screw extruder equipped for small-volume production in laboratory or pilot plant applications. The 32 L/D machine will be fitted with a 10 L/D extension module, 34 kW installed drive capable of a
