PLAST | SHOW PREVIEW Top gear
In addition to a range of pelletisers, Maag will show its Extrex x6 class gear pump at this year’s Plast show. The new melt pump design delivers high volumetric efficiency at the highest counter pressures and with the lowest amount of shear stress, says the company. This results in a reliable and gentle material transfer, boosting and metering for a wide range of thermoplastic polymers, with no adverse effects on product quality, says Maag. Claudio Bonafede, general manager, said: “In addition to our Maag products, Ettlinger – which recently joined the Maag family – will display its ERF350 melt filter, which was introduced to the market at the end of 2017.” The ERF350 filters plastic melts with impurities such as paper, aluminium, wood, elastomers or unmelted plastics. Impurity levels as high as 18% can be removed with low melt losses. It achieves a maximum throughput of 3,800kg/h, depending on the type of melt, degree of impurities and selected filtration rating.
“It is suitable for all commonly used polyolefins and polystyrenes as well as a large number of engineered plastics,” he said.
Gold standard WM Thermoforming Machines of Switzerland will exhibit its FC 780 E IM2 Plus thermoforming machine at Plast – producing gold-coloured plates. The plates, made from PET, will be 230 x 230mm
square and made from 0.4mm thick film. They will be made in a six-cavity mould at a rate of around 13,700 plates per hour. The machine itself has a forming area of 780 x
570mm, which allows forming and cutting of the product in the same forming station – or allows the

cutting in a second inline station with subsequent stacking and discharg- ing of the piles of counted products on a conveyor belt.
On the calender Comerio Ercole will introduce a new calendaring machine called Flexi at Plast. The multi-purpose calender,
which has high-precision hydraulic roll
positioning, is designed to work with four or five rolls according to the product being made (plasti- cised or rigid PVC sheets). A new inverted L calender configuration, designed and patented with its subsidiary CKA, gives the calender high quality performance for a wide range of applications, it says. During the show, it will exhibit a large calender with 7m-long rolls that is designed for the produc- tion of thermal/acoustic insulation materials at
