K2025 – MACHINERY | EXHIBITION PREVIEW


directly downstream of the extruder. MEAF says the Xtender technology was devel- oped with its core manufacturing values in mind, providing a cost-effective solution that can be modularly integrated into new and existing extrusion lines for both recycling as well as film and sheet production. � www.meaf.com


MoistTech manufactures moisture measurement technology for use in plastics processing and other industries. The company’s IR3000 series of near- infrared (NIR) sensors are used for real-time, non-contact moisture measurement to help processors ensure consistent product quality, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency by precisely controlling moisture levels in plastic materials during various stages of production. The benefits include: preventing degradation; optimiz- ing drying processes, reducing energy consump- tion and waste; and enhancing product quality. MoistTech’s NIR technology is used in the process- ing of plastic pellets and the production of plastic films where moisture fluctuations can cause variations in film thickness. � www.moisttech.com


With its new Swift product series, Motan says it is introducing cost-effective solutions across the board for auxiliary equipment in materials manage- ment with its range of standardised units specially developed for companies looking to economise whilst not compromising on efficiency, reliability, or ease of use. The Swift series covers the entire product range


for materials handling, from dosing and mixing to drying and conveying, highlights to be displayed at K include the sDRY 40/80, a flexible and compact dehumidified air dryer range, the sCOMPACT, a flexible dehumidified air dryer with integrated conveying and optional control of an additive dosing unit, the sCONVEY HES, a compact single- phase material loader for granulates with intelli- gent control, and the sCOLOR V additive dosing and mixing unit. � www.motan-group.com


Nordson BKG and Fimic will unveil a new collabo- rative innovation which combines their respective expertise to tackle key challenges in plastics recycling: melt filtration, pelletizing, and system integration. The result is a set of comprehensive solutions that set new standards ecologically and economically, the partners say. Visitors to Hall 9 will find the two partners at opposite booths allowing

Qlar (formerly Schenck Process) will demonstrate how different materials can be dosed reliably and continuously with the Simplex FB loss-in-weight feeder to ensure an efficient and smooth process flow. Thanks to the bottom-driven agitator and the low centre of gravity, even regrinds or plastic flakes can be processed while the integrated sensor system allows data to be collected and transmitted in real time. The intelligent system enables fill level measurement and bridge detection as well as moisture measurement of the material, and blockages in the discharge are recognised at an early stage. Depending on the speed and filling level, optimum operating values for different materials can be readily determined, laying the foundation for long-term process optimisation. � www.qlar.com


Sikora is presenting a large number of measuring and sorting technologies at K2025. Among these is its Purity Scanner Advanced, a flexibly configurable inspection and sorting system. In addition to high-resolution optical cameras, which detect black specks from 25 µm, for example, an X-ray camera is also available as an option, especially for detecting metal particles in the pellets. With the three-camera system, customers can define which types of contamination are tolerable, for example small, light-coloured black specks, and sort them out with a smaller blow-out unit. Sikora’s Purity Concept V system inspects pellets or test plates for optical impurities such as black specks within a few seconds. The system detects, visualizes and records even the smallest contami- nation and provides a comprehensive statistical evaluation, automated and reproducible. Live
