Extrusion International USA 3-2019

37 Extrusion International 3/2019 Since its foundation in 1980 Moretto has pioneered aux- iliary equipment for injection molding, extrusion and PET processing customers, innovative solutions characterized by employing the latest technologies available and cus- tomized to meet their needs. TheMoretto’s East Europe branch, based in Częstochowa, plays a key role in the local business by promptly respond- ing to the needs of customer, providing efficient and turnkey solutions, supporting them with know-how and services, pre, during and after-sales. Entering the booth means getting in tune with the world of Moretto: high technologies 4.0, strong and attractive devices, video screens and technical information and sup- port held by specialized staff ready to welcome visitors. On display at Plastpol was a wide range of Moretto’s ma- chines specifically designed to manage a perfect polymer treatment, in particular for conveying, drying, dosing, grinding, temperature control and cooling phases. “Energy efficiency” is the focus for the plastics processing industry, increasingly characterized by specific complexi- ties and high levels of performance, mainly required by sectors such as automotive, medical and packaging. To achieve the goal Moretto offers a wide range of effi- cient, smart and automatic machines, all connected with MOWIS 3, the advanced supervising and management system for the integrated control of the entire supply chain in plastics processing plants. Among the main 4.0 products on display at Plastpol there was surely the adaptive conveying system One Wire 6 which allows maximum efficiency and self-calibration in conveying systems. This server is the only patented intel- ligent system available on the market able to define and maximize the amount of granule to be delivered thanks to the exclusive VIBE technology. The entire transport por can also be easily managed by a wireless touch inter- face and, like most Moretto products, also interfaces with MOWIS supervisory control system. Together with the One Wire 6 station, the Venturi and Kasko hopper loaders and the automatic manifold Dol- phin completed the conveying solutions displayed at Plastpol. At Plastpol visitors could discover EUREKA PLUS, “the most advanced low consumption drying system available on the market” able to reduce energy consumption by 56% compared to conventional drying systems. Eureka Plus consists of four Moretto patented technologies: • X MAX, the only high performance multi-bed modular dryer • FLOWMATIK, a dynamic airflow management system, • OTX, innovative hoppers with an exclusive internal ge- ometry • MOISTURE METER MANAGER, this revolutionary device measures polymer residual moisture in-line, adapts the drying system operations, manage and control in close loop the drying process guaranteeing product certifica- tion and incredible energy savings. By working together, these four automations provide an “on demand” self-adjusting, modular and energy-saving drying system. At Plastopl Moretto also highlighted the powerful mini dryers X Comb , a complete range characterized by strong turbocompressors, zeolite technology, dew point equal- izer (up to -60°C) and the exclusive OTX hopper. X Comb is mostly requested by strong sectors, like medical and au- tomotive, for drying small quantities of material (hourly production from 1 to 36 Kg/h) and saving 50% of energy. Moretto also presented a great range of dosingmachines: the new loss-in-weight dosing unit DPK, the gravimetric dosing unit DGM Gravix and DBK Gramixo, ideal for ex- trusion. These devices allows high precision dosing, mod- ularity, reaction speed, connectivity and remote control. Moretto East Europe Sp. z o.o. ul. Strefowa 8, 42-202 Częstochowa, Poland www.moretto.com
