EVENT PREVIEW | FAKUMA 2024
Asahi Kasei will showcase a range of materials at Fakuma – for applications including thermal management in electric vehicles (EVs). In batteries, it will show its modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE) Xyron with high non-halogenic flame retardance and low ion elution properties. It is suitable for thermal management applications in EV batteries. The company will also launch grades of Xyron to boost the efficiency of 5G applications. The combi- nation of PPE with other polymers such as PPS or PS creates compounds with low dielectric properties and a high non-halogenic flame retardance. �

Benvic will show at Fakuma that over the past five years it has moved from being a ‘pure player’ PVC compounder to a solution provider across many polymer platforms, especially in PP, TPEs and halogen free polyolefin materials. In terms of PP materials, Benvic has taken over a performing unit, sold by Celanese, covering design, test and manufacturing in the Ferrara plant. It says this unit has more than 20 years of successful operating experience and is ideally placed to offer PP-based solutions to diverse markets such as automotive, electrical appliances and others. �

Coperion and Herbold Meckesheim will show their expertise in entire systems through virtual animation – with both a compounding plant and a system for recycling plastic. The processes involved can be experienced digitally with the aid of simulation. Customers can test a wide variety of plastic recycling processes and technologies under actual production conditions – in Coperion and
Herbold Meckesheim’s fully equipped test centres – before they invest. Along with recycling, at this year’s Fakuma,
Coperion will present versatile and efficient uses of its ZSK and STS twin screw extruders as well as its feeding and conveying technologies for classic compounding tasks. At the beginning of this year, Coperion introduced a re-worked version of the ZSK 18 MEGAlab laboratory extruder with a newly developed patent-pending feeding platform. Coperion’s ProRate Plus feeder line features new developments. With the ProRate Plus-MT twin screw extruder and the new ProFlow bulk solid activator, an efficient feeding solution for powder additives is now available. �

Eurotec is promoting its engineering compounds at the Fakuma show for various sectors, primarily automotive and transportation, e-mobility, electri- cal/electronic, home appliances, safety equip- ments, garden and power tools, construction/ agricultural equipment, and furniture. Visitors will be able to discuss about tailor-made solutions for PA, PBT, PP, PET, PC, POM, PPS, PEEK. Eurotec has sustainable products with ECO and
BIO brands which include bio-polyamides, bio and waste fillers (jute fibre, rice husk, sunflower, wood fibre) as well post-industrial and post-consumer recycled PA, PP, PET, PC and PBT based compounds. �

FEDDEM will be presenting the latest model of the FED 26 MTS twin-screw extruder with additional aggregates at its stand, as a production machine for small quantities or for use as a pilot plant extruder. The extruder is fitted with 32 L/D and a 10 L/D extension module, 34 kW installed drive power and maximum screw speed of 1,200 rpm. It also features a FSB side feeder, FSV vacuum side degas- sing unit and FSK extrusion head with FEDDEM’s patented sheet die plate. The FEDDEM Automatic AirBlade was devel- oped to minimise the frequent problem of beard formation in twin-screw extrusion. In the case of complex compounds with a high filler content, this can lead to strand breaks which can significantly impair both productivity and the throughput rate. �
