greatly increased as well. The company adds that wave conveying can be customised to specific resins, with a different wave pattern, speed (velocity) or throughput rate pro- grammed for each material and receiver destination depending on specific requirements. Wave convey- ing parameters can be set using the Conair FLX-128 Plus control, with conveying recipes (up to ten per receiver station) stored and recalled automatically as machines call for different materials. Piovan is continuing to develop its Easylink

automatic coupling stations to prevent cross-mate- rial contamination and ensure high production performance. The company says that widely used manual coupling stations are generally suitable for handling moderate workloads. But in the case of multiple uses, connecting flexible pipes to the right source and moving them as needed, can become a complicated and tiring task. In order to avoid errors, the pipes are coded. Managing a number of them can also create other problems, such as dirt that needs to be constantly removed from the system, and the use of connections and pipes that over time wear out and have to be removed and replaced manually.
Easylink is now available in three models - EL 20,
EL 40 and EL 60 - with the number indicating the amount of sources/destinations manageable. The new range is equipped with solutions that guaran- tee a total absence of cross-material contamination, which eliminates the primary concern among users of automatic stations, says Piovan. The Easylink range has a device that thoroughly cleans the conveyor pipe when a different material is being handled on the next cycle. The coupling stations
