  • NPE News Wrap-up: Resin Dryers

    At least 16 companies introduced new dryers at the big show in Chicago. The new models span a range of drying technologies, but most sport features that save space and cost and make the dryers simpler and more reliable.

  • Materials Handling: New Equipment Emphasizes Efficiency & Value

    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.

  • The compact gravimetric dosing/blending unit for the addition of masterbatch/additive in granular form is suitable for use on injection molding/blow molding machines and extruders; it is insensitive to vibrations and specially designed for mounting directly onto the feed throat of the processing machine ensuing masterbatch savings of up to 50 %. The masterbatch storage bins can be removed together with the associated dosing screw allowing for a very fast color change and easier cleaning.

  • Cost effective, reliable and easy to use, LUXOR dryers are available ex-stock with specifications to suit almost all applications.

  • With the METRO HCG Regrind and METRO HCG Flakes hopper loaders, free-flowing regrind materials or very dusty granulates are conveyed automatically to the hopper of a processing machine, drying bin or day bin.

  • NPE 2009 News Flash

    Injection MoldingHybrid Press Has Electric ClampNew injection presses that combine servo-electric and hydraulic movements to achieve high performance with energy efficiency will be discussed by Arburg Inc., Newington, Conn.

  • When designing Central Vacuum Systems, experience pays off. "During the early eighties, Motan started dealing with this subject in close co-operation with Ford Berlin of Germany", says Mark McKibbin, President of Motan Inc., Plainwell, Michigan.

  • Cost-efficiency is highly valued everywhere.

  • The success story of gravimetric batch blenders in the plastics processing industry began more than 10 years ago.

  • 'METROnet light bus' from Motan is a compact and efficient convey control featuring above all scalability, flexibility and low maintenance costs.

  • Screenless Granulators From a New Source

    Motan Inc., Plainwell, Mich., is the newest supplier of screenless beside-the-press granulators.

  • Motan’s TWINcut beside the press granulator is ideal for granulating conventional plastics including glass filled materials as well as soft thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) and similar materials.

  • HOW TO COMPARE DRYERS? A Complex Challenge With No Simple Answers

    Is one type of resin dryer faster or more energy-efficient than another? That question prompts competing claims from suppliers—but very little concrete data. When one vendor performed controlled tests to get some answers, its results, published here for the first time, prompted further debate about the difficulties of making valid comparisons and the many complex issues involved in dryer selection.

  • Weigh Feeder for Additives

    Avoid under- or over-feeding of costly masterbatches by loss-inweight metering.

  • Motan proudly introduces CONTROLnet, an integrated suite of controls that will offer plastics processors a completely new level of management capability in raw materials handling and processing.

  • The close working relationship between the Motan Group and Tria S.p.A. is being given added weight by new trading arrangements in America.

  • When manufacturing large injection molded parts as well as some extrusion applications, the plastics material processor is frequently required to handle very large material throughput rates.

  • For more than 10 years gravimetric dosing and blending units have started to capture market share within the Plastics Processing Industry.

  • Motan, Inc., Plainwell, Mich., is now offering granulators in addition to its other auxiliary equipment.

  • NPE 2006 News Wrap-Up: Fluid Temperature Control: Saving on Energy and Maintenance

    At NPE in Chicago, chillers and TCUs were put on a lean energy diet and redesigned for greater durability. Suppliers also added features while taking out cost.

  • NPE 2006 News Wrap-Up: Materials Handling: A Host of Refinements and Updates

    NPE 2006 held no revolutionary changes in dryers, blenders, feeders, loaders, or conveying controls, but widely adopted improvements make the newest models easier to use and maintain—and easier on the budget, too.

  • What to See at NPE 2006: Heating and Cooling

    Most of the news at the show is in fluid-circulating mold-temperature-control systems.

  • What to See at NPE 2006: Materials and Parts Handling

    Dryers, feeders, blenders, loaders, metal detectors, level sensors, mechanical and pneumatic conveyors, silos, bins, pumps, filters, valves, box fillers, bag dumpers, and materials-handling control systems constitute one of the biggest categories of products on display at NPE.

  • NPE 2006 News Flash

    Injection MoldingSimplified Hot Runners Save Time & CostA new lower-cost hot-runner alternative to valve gating is suited to less critical cosmetic applications where users need predictable and reliable gate opening but not sequential gate operation.

  • Resin Dryers: Which Type Is Right for You?

    Processors today face bewildering choices of at least five basic types of dryers, whose capabilities are subject to conflicting claims from equipment suppliers. For the buyer, the most basic questions are: How much drying is needed for the job and which dryer types are up to the task?

  • Dryers Close-Up NPE 2000

  • NPE Newsfinder: Materials & Parts Handling

    From pneumatic systems that deliver materials to the processing machine to conveyors and handling devices that pull parts out the back, the trend appears to be “smaller and smarter.” NPE 2000 will show lots of downsized auxiliaries designed for mini processing machines, as well as more compact equipment of every size that frees up floor space.

  • NPE News Wrap-Up: Materials Handling

    The big show in Chicago presented more new loaders, feeders, blenders, and conveying controls than you could count. They’re more flexible, easier to maintain, and easier to control. Many are web-enabled, and some are lower in cost.
