Extrusion International 4-2018

37 Extrusion International 4/2018 MORETTO S.p.A. Via dell’Artigianato, 3 , 35010 Massanzago (PD), Italy www.moretto.com X COOLER is amodular cooling system, equippedwith screw compressors with variable flow, high efficiency evaporators, centrifugal ducted fans and electronic expansion valves that, even in this case, guarantee high performance and optimize the consumption of a compartment of high energy consum- ing departments. X Cooler is a cooling system suitable for heavy-duty applications. Regarding temperature management, Moretto presented TE-KO Chiller, the integrated cooling and temperature con- trol system that meets the compactness requirements of the plastics processing departments by definitively reducing the spaces these machines traditionally took up. One machine for two functions that makes the difference in the consisten- cy of the finished product is quality, in the drastic reduction of waste and in the energy efficiency of the department. A versatile solution for the double zone thermoregulation of the molds, with adjustable set point between + 10 ° C and + 95 ° C and integrated chiller for the production of cooling water. Absoluteprecision in the temperatures, pressures and water flow management is guaranteed by solid-state relays and control systems with microprocessors dedicated to con- trol and perfect integration of processes. TE-KO Chiller is equipped, as standard, with the integrated Free Cooler func- tion, which allows the optimization of consumption accord- ing to the environmental conditions, in which the transfor- mation process takes place. Continuing with the news, DPK is the newcomer of the al- ready large family of Moretto’s dosers. A compact loss-in- weight additive dosing unit, suitable for intermittent or con- tinuous dosing of small quantities of color or additives into a flow base material. This new dosing unit solves the problem of overdosing with an extremely precise control. Thanks to the exclusive vibration immunity system, themachine control algorithm and the hopper removeable from the dosing unit, DPK achieves a dosing accuracy up to 0.3%, allowing proces- sors to avoid unnecessary wastes of expensive additives. DPK is strongly characterized by his hopper, made of trans- parent acrylic material that allows the operator to see the state of the machine at any time and at long distances. Fur- thermore, its integrated feeding systemautonomouslyman- ages the loading of the material, according to the needs of the processingmachine. With regard to PET and in particular to the beverage sector, Moretto presented the DS series mould dryer, designed to preserve themoulds fromwater condensation so as to guar- antee the best quality of the product along with a longevity of the same mould. DS is characterized by a compact struc- ture and works with a high performance rotor that inherits the zeolite technology and expresses all benefits in terms of process andenergy performance.The recyclingof plastic is an important and very topical subject. Even in this area,Moretto continues to develop customized solutions for the recycling of PET. At Plast, Moretto presented a new series ofMPK crys- tallizers. They are absolutely necessary machines in this sec- tor where R-PET and direct regrind, which is the scale coming from bottle granulation, are materials that need dedicated processes and system specifications. Mowis 3, new 4.0 solution The company proceeds on a precise business strategy aimed at the future and continuous investment in technology, au- tomation, research and skilled staff, with a view of the 4.0 criteria. A 4.0 approach is mainly required by sectors such as automo- tive, medical and packaging, which require major techno- logical standards andwhereMoretto records his best perfor- mance. At Plast 2018, Moretto presented a previewofMOWIS 3, the brand’s new integrated supervision and management 4.0 system. Inside Moretto’s booth a real “control space” was recreated. With the support of a technical staff visitors were instructed about the functionalities and extreme customiza- tion of this new system of supervision and integrated man- agement. Tomorrow The Green Factor, which has always accompanied Moretto activities, evolves today into a newproject calledBE TOMOR- ROW. Be Tomorrow is a renewed commitment of all of us who undertake more and more activities that involve the company and the whole supply chain towards eco-respon- sible attitudes and processes, towards research and continu- ous real innovation aimed at reducing electricity consump- tion, recycling and bio-plastics. At Plast 2018, Moretto presented a preview of MOWIS 3
