There will be an extraordinary range of new auxiliary equipment on display at the show.

From materials drying, feeding, and blending to process heating/cooling, scrap reclaiming, testing, welding, and decorating—the K 2010 show this month in Dusseldorf, Germany, will have news in all categories of auxiliary equipment.

An Italian maker of auxiliary equipment has come up with a new system that combines several unusual concepts to make high-volume PET drying faster and more consistent with lower energy use.

Visitors to the recent NPE 2009 show in Chicago were looking for materials handling equipment that could do more than dry, blend, or convey resins. It had to do those things while saving energy, providing faster and easier maintenance, speeding product changeovers, reducing labor cost, minimizing waste, and providing better value for money. The new products cited below addressed those needs and more.

DPM works in the opposite way in comparison to the traditional dosing units: first it calculates the quantity of masterbatch to dose through the Rotopulse system, and then it doses the other components.

Dry Air is a double tower dehumidifier for small productions, suitable for technical products of small size: lens for microcameras, pieces for telephony, etc.

X PET-PRO is an innovative system realized for the treatment of highly hygroscopic technical polymers.

DGM GRAVIX is a gravimetric dosing unit able to treat up to 12 components, with 8 double-lid hoppers and 4 volumetric dosing units.

X Dryer is a dehumidifying system that guarantees superior flexibility.

The new XD 600 series is another exclusive of the project that boasts 3 models with an airflow from 250 to 2.500 m3/h.
