Extrusion International 6-2024-USA

5 Extrusion International 6/2024 Tech Folien specified Vetaphone corona technology for the most recent of its five Hosokawa Alpine extruders located in its 40,000 sq/ft production facility in Speke. The company is a major supplier to the food industry, offering a wide range of transparent, white and coloured films that are single or double-side corona treated, as well as top-coated products, all of which are recyclable The basic idea of nanolayer technology in stretch film production is to create thin, waffle-like structures by repeatedly layering the melt from at least two extruders. A central question arises in connection with the use of post-consumer resin (PCR): Does the use of PCR work when producing these layers? SML has made extensive trials to get the answer After extrusion machine specialist Reifenhäuser presented the automation system PAM (precise, autonomous, mechatronic) for flat dies and coextrusion adapters for the first time at the K 2022, the 150th system has now been installed on a customer line. The patented mechatronic control system has decisive advantages over conventional automatic thermal expansion bolt systems "Customised models are standard for us," says Josef Dobrowsky, founder and owner of CONEXTRU GmbH from Austria. "To my knowledge, no other machine manufacturer builds single-screw extruders for pipe and profile production faster and more customised than we do." Project Re:Claim, a joint venture between the Salvation Army Trading Company and Project Plan B, has been nominated for the Plastics Industry Awards 2024 in the "Recycler of the Year" category. Using an ISEC evo system from PURE LOOP to process used garments and other textiles, the project is Europe’s first polyester textile recycling system As the global economy gradually recovers, China continues to be a crucial engine driving worldwide economic growth.
