Extrusion International 5-2018

5 Extrusion International 5/2018 Moretto presents the new advertising campaign “Art in color dosing” dedicated to DPK gravimetric loss-in- weight doser, recently launched on the market. DPK completes the full range of Moretto’s dosers and solves the overdosing problemwith a very precise control. Page 12 The hopper of the GRS 180 (type A 00246) at the Fakuma stand of Getecha is also equipped with this flexible gateway func- tion. Here, loading can be performed for example with a sprue picker from the port- folio of Getecha. The feeding process includ- ing the gateway func- tion is regulated by a higher control in this case.

Page 28 Mr. Weber, Managing Director and current owner of Hch. Kündig & Cie. AG “The company constantly expanding our product range… One example is the K-500 contact capacitive film thickness gauge with extremely low-wear sintered ceramic surfac- es. When combined with our patented rotational scanner, the Rotomat KT, a transversal thick- ness profile can be mea- sured within 36 seconds, without any losses in the measuring accuracy. Page 60 The FEDDEMs FED 26 MTS extruder is particularly well suited for product developments and as a pilot plant in production. The 34 kWmotor iswater-cooled and has a torque limiting clutch and high- torque transmission that ensure top per- formance. With a base length of 42 L/D and a 10 L/D mod- ule to extend the processing length to 52 L/D, this ex- truder can also be used for products requiring a longer dwell time.
