SHOW PREVIEW | FAKUMA 2023
Above: Feddem will promote its LFT production line options
PLUS-MT twin screw feeder for feeding powders. A virtual representation of a PET recycling plant will underline the added value coming from the merger of Coperion and mechanical recycling specialist Herbold Meckesheim. The two compa- nies now build entire systems for plastics recycling, extending from mechanical processing – size reduction, washing, separating, drying and ag- glomerating of plastics – to bulk material handling, feeding and extrusion, through to compounding and pelletising. �

ELIX Polymers will show its E-LOOP portfolio, which includes mechanically and chemically recycled products. The mechanically recycled offering includes E-LOOP H801 MR, E-LOOP Ultra 4105 MR and E-LOOP PC/ABS 5120 MR all of which display properties equivalent to their traditional prime equivalents but bring CO2-emis- sion reduction of 29%. The company will also promote its E-LOOP CR
products, which are manufactured from a combina- tion of fossil, bio-based and chemically recycled feedstocks. Recycled or bio-based contents can be provided based on ISCC Plus certification and mass balance principles. Depending on the final mix , CO2 emission reduction of up to 60% are claimed. �

EMF Motor will display its SQME Extruder Torque Motor, a direct drive motor designed for low speed, high torque applications which is claimed to require no gearbox or cooling. Features of the motor design include an integrated thrust bearing, hollow motor shaft, and improved accuracy in speed control while claimed benefits include reduced maintenance, optimal dynamic perfor- mance and high torque density. �

74 COMPOUNDING WORLD | October 2023
Feddem will show the latest version of its FED 43 MTS twin screw extruder, which is now available with up to 157kW of drive power. The machine will be shown in its standard processing length of 32 L/D, although a 10 L/D extension is available to convert that to 42 L/D in as little as two hours. It will be equipped with a liquid feed port just after the melting zone. MTS extruders can accommodate multiple feeding and degassing points. At the show, the company will display the latest version of its vacuum-assisted side feeding unit. The FSB-V unit is now equipped with a viewing window, which allows direct observation of flow patterns within the device during processing of lightweight fillers. The company will also promote its pultrusion lines for production of LFT-G pellets (Long Fibre Thermoplastic Granules), which can operate at strand speeds of up to 60 m/min. It’s systems are characterised by a more compact footprint and use proprietary modular impregnation tooling. �

Lifocolor Group will present its latest masterbatch solutions for colouring, stabilisation and functionali- sation of thermoplastics including its Eternity Colours, which are formulated with natural pigments and are primarily suited for use with bio-based and biodegradable polymers. The company has also expanded its Expressive colour and effect concentrates, which are typically used in production of bottles and films. As part of its Lifostab portfolio, it has also developed a line of UV additives that provide protection for packaged products that are free of benzotriazoles. The company will also show a range of four authentic granite-effect additives for use in polyolefin consumer goods. �

Maag will display examples from across its range of compounding ancillary equipment, include pelletisers, melt filters and gear pumps. The company will highlight the die plate technology it acquired last year through the acquisition of French company AMN. Engineered for throughputs of up to 100 tonnes/h, the die plates are suitable for high melt index and complex polymer formulations. A key feature is their CIS cooling system, which provides increased localised water flow to improve cutting and improve pellet quality and to reduce cavitation phenomena. In the pelletiser area, Maag will show a Pearlo
350 EAC underwater pelletiser with liquid-heated die plate. The unit is suitable for throughputs of up
