Extrusion International 4-2018

36 Extrusion International 4/2018 MATERIAL HANDLING Great Success – New Technological Solutions presented at PLAST 2018 At Plast 2018, Moretto renews its strong commitment to the market by presenting messages and new solutions focused on the specific requests of an increasingly demanding clientele. Products with high technological value, intelligent and sustainable machines, prepared for a 4.0 process management, have found great success among the operators of the injection molding, extrusion and PET processing, met at Plast 2018 Empowering Plastics After almost 40 years of “Plastics Automation”, Moretto pre- sented, at Plast 2018, a new pay off “Empowering Plastics”. A strong concept, that is at the base of every Moretto prod- uct, guides the company from the research and planning up to the production and the placing on the market. EMPOWERING PLASTICS means giving more power to plas- tics, by helping the supply chain from the beginning and by offering competitive solutions with high technological value for mould and environmental problems. The intent is to sublimate the plastic such as “raw material” which is es- sential and irreplaceable in the lives of each of us. The need to create a new pay-off derives from the Italian company’s mission: produce the best solutions in plastic automation in- dustry to achieve excellence in final products and customer processes. For Moretto, Empowering Plastics means, in fact, “technology and excellence at the service of industry”. The new pay off represents precisely this “proactive” attitude, typical of the Moretto Group, which has always been ori- ented towards overcoming its know-how. The goal is to al- ways “infuse more power to plastics” but also to bioplastics, with the aim of creating finished products with even more extrememechanical, functional and aesthetic characteristics. The newMoretto products presented at Plast 2018 Moretto presented at Plast 2018, and for the first time in the Italian market, the revolutionary and unique “drying on demand system” Moisture Meter Manager. This innovation has attractedgreat interest fromvisitors, especially frompro- cessors of medical, pet and automotive sectors, who have already perceived the advantages in terms of quality of the finished product, energy efficiency and reduction of waste. Moisture Meter, in the versions Box, Guard and Manager, responds to customer needs to obtain an absolutely precise and indispensable data in their own dehumidification pro- cess: the residual moisture of the plastic granule, measured in ppm, with a deviation of ± 3 ppm, which is practically ir- relevant. Inadehumidificationprocess, this is theonlydata that allows the customer to have the certainty of transforming a perfect polymer and creating products with superior technical, aes- thetic and functional characteristics, as well as reducing con- siderably production wastes and energy consumption. In the exclusive Manager version, Moisture Meter allows an automatic and efficient management of the dehumidifica- tion process: the customer only uses the energy required for each phase of the process. With Moisture Meter Manager, we are focusing about data and real savings in 4.0 industry. With regards to energy efficiency, Moretto presented at Plast the new cooling concept X COOLER. X Cooler inherits the X MAX spirit of EUREKA as it develops into a concept of great efficiency, modularity and easy expansion over time.
