Motan exhibited several new offerings from its Swift range of ancillary products, along with solutions to automate the extrusion process. The Swift series covers the entire materials handling product range, from dosing and mixing to drying and conveying. Highlights included: S-Dry 40/80, a compact dehumidified air dryer range with multiple bin combinations that is focused on energy efficiency; S-Compact, which includes integrated conveying and optional control of an additive dosing unit; S-Convey HES, a single-phase material loader for granulates with intelligent control for demand-based material supply; and S-Color V, an additive dosing and mixing unit for masterbatch and regrind dosing applications. “Our Swift products prove that affordable solutions do not have to compromise on quality, control, or sustainability,” said Carl Litherland, CMO of Motan.
In addition, its Gravicolor 110 Med and Metro G
Med are designed for pharmaceutical and medical plastics processing. They comply with FDA standards and guarantee maximum process reliability for sensitive materials. �

Movacolor has joined forces with Labotek to develop the MDS Balance Drydose, which combines efficient material drying and precise additive dosing in a single unit. It accommodates the need to dry additives due
to increasing quality requirements, materials of biological origin, speciality engineered plastics, and the need to further reduce quality risks. By drying materials directly within the dosing
unit at the machine inlet, Drydose ensures optimal moisture control and removes the need for extra equipment. This enhances product consistency, reduces waste and energy consumption, and improves overall production efficiency, it says. Movacolor has also developed MovaLink, its solution to integrate full control of its equipment into a production cell control system. MovaLink is display-less and features all industry standard control interfaces such as ProfiNet and OPC-UA. The stainless-steel casing can be placed inside a cabinet, keeping the setup clean. Designed mainly for machine builders and system integrators, it reduces complexity and raises operational efficiency, says the company. �

Qlar presented its Simplex FB loss-in-weight feeder at K2025. The gravimetric stainless-steel feeder has a high
feed rate and can be used to dose a variety of materials – from glass and carbon fibres to plastic flakes, cellulose and other new or recycled materials, it says. An integrated sensor system allows data to be collected and transmitted in real time. This enables fill level measurement and bridge detection as well as moisture measurement of the material. Possible blockages in the discharge are recognised at an early stage – and jammed material can be removed before a major backlog occurs.
Depending on the speed and filling level, optimum operating values for different materials can be determined and saved. �
