EXHIBITION PREVIEW | K2019
Right: ColdJet’s PCS 60 dry ice blaster promises to improve the way in which metal compo- nents such as screws are cleaned
aggression level capabilities to clean each, he said. The machine is also easy to use: with a 7in LCD colour screen and digital controls, it provides an intuitive display that allows the user to easily view and adjust blasting parameters and machine settings. It also features programmable and password-protected application recipes, allowing users to set and save parameters such as blast pressure, particle size and feed rate. This increases efficiency and ensures the right settings for each application. A plastics processor can save one application recipe for one tool and another application recipe for a different tool, for instance. This prevents user error and ensures the right parameters are used for each unique application. The company claims that the machine cleans
more effectively and requires less dry ice and air pressure than competing machines. An optimised design, including a ‘straight through’ air system and redesigned SureFlow feeding system, mini- mises air pressure loss and dry ice sublimation within the machine. This allows the user to maxim- ise air supply yield and reduce dry ice waste. The model is also IoT-enabled via Cold Jet
Connect – which provides remote monitoring and diagnostics while allowing users to collect and manage data and use tools for optimum perfor- mance and productivity. It can also be combined with a Cold Jet dry ice production unit and a robot for continuous and fully automated blasting. �

Coperion K-Tron will exhibit a variety of plastics processing technologies at K2019. The show is the European premiere for its
Below: Coperion K-Tron’s SWB-300 weigh belt feeder promises high accuracy and efficient process control
redesigned K3 vibratory feeder line – and its V200 model will be shown as part of a running system. The K3-ML-D5-V200 vibratory feeder will be shown in action as part of a recirculating system – with automatic refill provided by a P-series vacuum receiver and a compact vacuum pump. Vibratory feeders are ideal for feeding recycled material or flakes as well as for the addition of glass fibre in compounding processes. They are nearly mainte- nance-free, as there is no wear on the mechanical
parts. P-series vacuum receivers can be used to convey a wide range of bulk materials – in convey- ing only applications such as hopper loading, as well as loss-in-weigh feeder refill applications. The receivers are made of stainless steel, and their features include steep cone angles – to ensure efficient discharge – and band clamps for quick disassembly.
Also on display, the company’s SWB-300 weigh belt feeder is a comparatively simply constructed, reliable gravimetric feeder for high accuracy and efficient process control. Weigh belt feeders of this type can feed large volumes of bulk materials with various flow properties and are well suited for, among other things, processing recyclates. Another materials handling solution is Fluidlift
Ecoblue, a pneumatic conveying process for plastic pellets that increases efficiency and minimises degradation. In contrast to conventional designs, it reduces abrasion – which cuts the generation of dust or strands to maintain product quality and reduce waste accumulation. It also enables plastics manufacturers to lower costs and increase through- puts, thanks to low energy consumption. �
