CHINAPLAS 2018 | SHOW PREVIEW
Filter debut For the first time under the Maag umbrella, Ettlinger will present its ERF350 melt filter at Chinaplas. The device, introduced to the market in late
2017, filters plastic melts with impurities and separates foreign materials such as paper, alumini- um, wood, elastomers or plastics which fuse at a higher temperature with impurity levels up to 18% – all with very low melt losses. Designed for high efficiency, it achieves a maximum throughput of 3800kg/h, depending on the type of melt and degree of impurities, as well as the selected filtration rating. It is suitable for all commonly used polyolefins and polystyrenes as well as a large number of technical plastics such as styrene copolymers, TPE and TPU. Maag acquired Ettlinger at the start of this year, and sees two strong melt filtration players combine their operations. At the time, Ueli Thuerig, president of Maag, said: “Bundling our products and strengths will deliver a new breadth of custom solutions for plastic filtration.” In the near future, the combined companies will look to vertically integrate their portfolios – though will continue to operate under their existing brand names.
Maag has production sites in Switzerland,
Germany, the USA, Italy and China, while Ettlinger has a manufacturing site in Germany. Volker Neuber, CEO of Ettlinger, said: “This is a unique opportunity to expand our product portfo- lio and offer our customers complete solutions. At the same time, we are extending our geographic reach, so will be able to enhance our customer service on a global scale.”
Granulator series Rapid Granulator is introducing a new family of shredders for plastics in Asia, called the Raptor series. These modularly designed units – which will be showcased at Chinaplas – feature an ‘open- hearted’ design. Other notable features include a unique cutting system, tilt-back hopper, and design for integrated granulation. “The Raptor series is a shredder and granulator hybrid with the shredder’s heavy-duty cutting technology combined with granulator features
such as Rapid’s ‘open hearted’ design that makes it super-easy to operate, service and clean,” said Bengt Rimark, CEO of Rapid. The ‘open hearted’ design of the Raptor enables quick and direct access to the shredder rotor and cutter chamber, simplifying the cleaning and service process. The front door, hinged on the side, provides unrestricted access to the rotor and to the screen, which is mounted in the door. Once the front door is open, the shredder hopper mounted on a rear hinge can be tilted back. Rapid offers 36 base configurations of the
Raptor in order to handle various customer applica- tions. The modular systems feature two diameters and two widths – 31.5in (800mm) and 53in (1,350mm). There are two system designs for pushing
material into the rotor—FlexiPush and PowerPush. The PowerPush is available with an extended pusher length. There are also three different cutting systems: Quad Cut, Claw, and Power Wedge.
