Extrusion 5-2018

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 product, 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 plastics, 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 essential and irreplace- able in the lives of each of us.

This innovation has attracted great interest from visitors, especially from processors of medical, pet and automotive sectors, who have already per- ceived the advantages in terms of quality of the finished pro- duct, energy efficiency and reduction of waste. Moisture Meter, in the versions Box, Guard and Manager, res- ponds to customer needs to obtain an absolutely precise and indispensable data in their own dehumidification process: the residual moisture of the plastic granule, measured in ppm, with a deviation of ± 3 ppm, which is practically irrelevant. In a dehumidification process, this is the only data that allows the customer to have the certainty of transforming a perfect polymer and creating products with superior technical, aesthe-
