PLAST 2018 | EXHIBITION REVIEW
fellow refrigeration system supplier Green Box, was on two stands to show the new breadth of its offering. Green Box specialises in the production of systems and equipment for water and fluid temperature control, and has important business with processing equipment OEMs. “We are delighted that Green Box is now part of
our group,” said Duccio Dorin, CEO of Frigel. “Green Box harbours considerable technical and innovative potential that – thanks to Frigel’s strong international position – will now be able to find its natural outlet.”
Moisture metering Moretto put considerable emphasis on its new Moisture Metering Manager (MMM). “Before now, there has not been a drying system
that measured original humidity in the granules,” said business development director Paolo Gasp- arotto. “The MMM can determine exactly the right amount of dehumidification necessary to obtain the desired ppm levels in the material. This is a form of energy on demand.” The MMM enables product certification, which is
particularly important for the automotive industry, Gasparotto noted. The MMM reads moisture content of the resin
itself, rather than the surrounding air, by measuring changes in electromagnetic waves. Two Moisture Meter sensing units, one above the hopper (Moisture Meter Crown) and one below the drying hopper (Moisture Meter Box), read ‘before’ and ‘after’ levels. The drying process varies according to these readings. As standard, the MMM stores data profiles of 15 most commonly used materials, and new material profiles can be added. The MMM is part of Morettto’s Eureka Plus drying system concept, which brings together the MMM with its X Max resin drying system with ultra-low dew point, the Flowmatik airflow manage-
ment system, and OTX drying hoppers. Moretto says that processors using Eureka Plus have on average cut energy consumption by 56%, compared to conventional drying systems. Still on the theme of energy efficiency, the company also presented its new modular cooling concept for heavy-duty applications, X Cooler. This is equipped with screw compressors with variable- flow, high-efficiency evaporators, centrifugal ducted fans and electronic expansion valves, according to Moretto.
