EXHIBITION PREVIEW | K2019 – MACHINERY
Right: Piovan’s new Genesys- Next PET drying system has self-adaptive technology to maintain optimum process conditions
from the residence time to the temperature, thereby maintain- ing optimum operating condi- tions. The company says “significant” improvements have also been made to the AIPC (Automatic Injection Pressure Control) technology that ensures the lowest production cost for each preform. For the medical sector,

Piovan has developed Exacta, a new microdosing unit able to feed the machines even with only one granule at a time, whilst maintaining very high accuracy. The medical range is also comple- mented by machines suitable for clean rooms, such as the Pureflo filterless receiver, which requires neither compressed air nor maintenance, and the emission-free DPA dryer. The Easytherm range of temperature control units is now complete with the launch of new pressurised temperature controls that will comple- ment the line of atmospheric temperature control- lers. There are also innovations related to the DigitempEvo water-cooled thermochillers that ensure high performance whilst keeping energy consumption levels very low.

Rapid Granulator will unveil what it calls “the biggest innovation in slow speed granulation in years” with the launch of Rapid OneCut Pro at K2019. Processors of brittle materials such as glass-fibre reinforced plastics primarily rely on slow speed granulators. The new granulator allows injection moulders to adjust the RPM range when granulating at a slow speed from the standard 25 RPM to a bandwidth of 15-35 RPM (plus/minus
40% rotor speed) to optimise the quality of the reground material. The company says that using
the Rapid OneCut Pro granula- tor leads to reductions in dust, noise and energy consumption. “For processors facing capacity limitations, operating at a higher speed level will allow them to overcome capacity constraints, boosting operational output. The torque level of the machine is maintained, regardless of the
speed at which it is running,” says Rapid. Rapid Granulator will have four OneCut Pro machines running on its stand and it is inviting customers to bring their materials along to be tested during the show. �

RJG will be presenting new process control and networking systems for injection moulders’ Industry 4.0 applications at K2019. These systems include: the Hub, for remote access to data of all machines and advanced analytics to increase visibility and decrease liability; the CoPilot, for collecting machine and cavity pressure data, controlling processes and knowing when a process deviates; TZero Template Transfer, which, during a tool launch, predicts plastic flow and creates a set-up sheet before the mould is made; and Machine Independent Variables, which can validate a mould and then enable it to be moved from machine to machine with minimal revalidation. �

Sepro will have eight robots operating on its stand, including 3-, 5- and 6-axis models as well as collaborative units (cobots), provided through a recently announced partnership with Universal Robots. Sepro products will also be operating on the stands of eleven injection machine partners. Several of the robots on Sepro’s stand will be part of automation cells centred around two operating moulding machines. One cell will feature a Sumitomo Demag machine producing a technical component that will be removed from the mould by an SDR Speed 7 robot. Made by Sepro especially for sale with Sumitomo Demag machines, this robot is a special high-speed version of Sepro’s S5-25 3-axis Carte- sian robot capable of getting in and out of the mould space in under 1s. The other cell will include a Sepro-Universal
