Managing materials from micro to macro


A wide range of new dryers, loaders and feeders are being launched at the K2019 show this month.Peter Mapleston takes a look at new developments


In the run-up to K2019, ancillary equipment producers have been previewing numerous innovations in materials handling, particularly in drying systems and gravimetric loaders. Buzz words like Circular Economy and Industry 4.0 will be hard to avoid at K2019. Here is a quick look at some of the new offerings visitors to the Düsseldorf show will be able to see this month.


Dryers of all types Piovan’s GenesysNext gets its world premiere at K 2019. Part of the Genesys range, this drying system features intuitive control and “self-adaptive” technology that is optimised for the treatment of virgin and recycled PET in production of preforms. “Significant” improve- ments have also been made to the AIPC (Automatic Injection Pressure Control) technology that Piovan says ensures the lowest production cost for

each preform, not only through energy savings, but also through optimisation of the entire preform production process, which leads to increased preform quality and reduction of rejects. The new Luxor CA A compressed air dryer from


Motan-Colortronic is designed for small to medium material throughputs. The dryer, which operates in a temperature range from 30 to 180°C, can be installed directly on top of the processing machine or on a mobile frame. It is available in four sizes with bin volumes of 8, 15, 30 and 60 litres respectively. Moretto is presenting its


newly extended range of X Comb dehumidifiers, which now cover higher production needs than before. These mini dryers are fully electric (they do not use compressed air), they are equipped with powerful turbo- compressors, zeolite technology, and Moretto’s Dew Point equaliser.
