the heat is recuperated, energy consumption is reduced by 20 to 30%, depending on the material drying temperature. The company’s patented energy management intelligently adapts to the dry- ing process to save energy and protect the material. Ekon is available in eight sizes ranging from 110 to 2,000 m³/h. � www.koch-technik.com


KraussMaffei is bringing together its recompound- ing technology and injection moulding and digital capabilities in a circular plastics production demon- stration at K2019. PP buckets moulded on a KM GX 1100 injection moulding machine will be regranu- lated and the material fed into a ZE28 extruder as part of the Edelweiss recompounding set-up, where a talc filler and liquid colour from Rowa Group will be added. After underwater pelletising and drying, the recompound is fed to an all-electric PX 320 injection moulding machine, and then the PP is formed into a panel for an automotive A-pillar. The component surface forms an over-moulded layer of fabric. KM’s APC Plus control monitors the injection moulding process and adapts it continuously to balance fluctuations between batches.
