K2025 | EXHIBITION PREVIEW

and, production of high-quality regranulates. The collaboration will allow regranulates to be tailored to a specific application while reducing production costs and improving CO2 footprint. Material preparation is carried out using NGR’s
C:Gran technology, comprising a cutter-compactor and single-screw extruder. The material is then further processed in a Leistritz twin-screw extruder. A joint recycling and compounding system at
NGR’s facility in Feldkirchen is designed for 300–500 kg/h and is available for customer trials. �

Maag will launch several new technologies at this year’s K show – in extrusion, filtration recycling and control. “At K2025, we will show how technical excel- lence and smart design are transforming plastics processing,” said Ueli Thuerig, president of Maag. The company will introduce double-stage
filtration for polymer recycling. Its BRF coarse melt filter enhances downstream equipment protection and ensures stable operation, while the ERF fine filter gives good pellet quality with minimal material loss. The filters offer a powerful combina- tion for efficient, low-cost recycling solutions, says the company. Its new curved, continuous screen changer –
CSC-R-DV – with integrated start-up position offers up to 50% higher throughput and energy savings, while shortening the production line. Its compact design reduces investment costs and fits into temperature-sensitive extrusion processes. In addition, the company has commissioned a new centrifugal dryer lab in the US. The lab will enable Maag to optimise and develop centrifugal dryers for virgin polymer, recycling, and compounding systems. The lab will focus on improved energy efficiency, drying performance and noise reduction – as well as future product development. For customers, the lab can be used for drying tests up to 72,000 kg/hr. �

Modern Dispersions will introduce a range of new masterbatches at K2025. One is a series of PFAS-free black masterbatches as an alternative to standard versions that contain fluoropolymer processing aids. The new PFAS-free versions are targeted at the film, irrigation tape and wire and cable markets. The company has also launched a new black masterbatch grade called GM-540-7UVS, which meets the industry’s GM13 standard for use in geomembranes. It is a 40% carbon black polyolefin masterbatch containing a specific additive package that protects the geomembrane from long-term heat and UV exposure. For the colouring of nylon, the company is
offering its NY-40NG grade – is a 40% nigrosine dye masterbatch. The masterbatch offers deep jet-black colour with minimal impact on physical properties in nylon compounds. Key applications include automotive and electronics.
Modern Dispersions will show its colour concen-
trates, whose properties include improved batch- to-batch consistency and film grade organic and inorganic pigment dispersions. They are used to make products such as agricultural film and electrostatic dissipative housings. �
