Not only do insulating materials save energy, they rather improve process safety, economy and quality assurance in making molded parts.

Energy Efficiency: Preventing Heat Loss 

The industry once again offers many new developments and improvements for optimizing downstream and upstream processes in the plastics industry. Those featured here range from surface treatment to measuring technology. 

Operating Technology (Trade Fair Report Fakuma 2009): Faster and Simpler 

Winding Cores. Noris Plastic produces thermoplastic winding cores that meet the highest technical requirements. The cores can be recycled and reused several times. Thanks to their extremely narrow tolerances, they allow for technically demanding processes. By enabling precise rotation, they allow for high rotation speeds, and thus fast confectioning processes. To meet the demands of the specific application, the cores are available with very smooth or very coarse surfaces. The cores are dust-free and abrasion-resistant, which makes them suitable for clean room application. Other than cardboard cores, they can be stored in the outside. A plastic core of only 6 mm wall thickness is as stable as a cardboard core of twice this wall thickness, roughly. The company is certified according to DIN ISO 9001:2008. Alongside production, it controls qualities, thus guaranteeing over average apex pressure. This property prevents the internal diameter of the cores from becoming smaller during winding. In the worst-case scenario, if a core’s apex resistance is very low, the core may even be reduced to so low a diameter, that the shaft of the next processing machine fails to fit into the core. As a result, it is impossible to process the (expensive) wound material. Subject to the basic material employed, the winding cores can also be produced from secondary raw materials to reduce costs. Standard sizes range from 5 mm to 12 m length, at internal diameters of 5 to 152 mm and wall thicknesses between 1 and 15 mm. Customers can obtain cores at special dimensions, or colored surfaces.

Fiber-reinforced plastic composites play a key role in future mobility. The biggest challenge at present is to develop material systems and processes that permit economic and efficient use of materials for large series production. The enormous potential of thermoplastic fiber-resin composite solutions for this is already emerging but also the claim that they explore new directions in processing.

Heating Technology as a Key Factor 

Tool and mold cleaning is a quality and cost critical production step in the plastics industry. Dry ice enables effective yet gentle cleaning of fine cavities without disassembling or removal of the tools.

Icecold to Higher Quality and Productivity 

As a company that specializes in peripheral devices for the further processing of plastics granulates, Farrag Tech GmbH of Wolfurt, Austria, is presenting a development of their Card-M/L-Systems with its two-cycle principle. In the upper part of the drying container, the Card-R compressed air dryer uses pre-heated air – a byproduct of the compressed air supply that other systems usually release to the surroundings as exhaust. By integrating air- or oil-driven heat exchangers, waste air is regained at approx. 80–90 °C within the compressor housing. Under certain circumstances and depending on the material, no additional heating may be required in order to raise the temperature of the material being used to its required drying temperature. The plastic granulate dried this way is subsequently conveyed to the actual drying process in the lower part of the container. Given the same materials throughput, the manufacturer claims that the compressed air requirement can be reduced up to 30 % by comparison.

Together with its international customers, Regloplas AG of St. Gallen, Switzerland, works out complete solutions that can be easily integrated into the processes of a future Smart Factory. That is why the Swiss manufacturer’s latest generation of temperature control units communicates via OPC UA with superior IT systems (PPS, MES, ERP) in industrial production – across locations, e.g., via Cloud, if required. Theses devices also can be networked with injection molding and other plastics machines via the IOD UA communication protocol. This fulfills all prerequisites for continuous data exchange in highly automated, digitalized plastics processing.

Pneumatic conveying of a raw material from the silo to the processing line does not sound like a very spectacular task. But in everyday routine, problems often occur. The manufacturer AZO is pinning its hopes on software that uses artificial intelligence to find the optimum operating point.

Moretto Turkey Celebrates its 10th Anniversary

Founded in 2012 in Istanbul, Moretto MTR celebrates its 10th anniversary.

Founded in 2012, Moretto MTR celebrates its 10th anniversary marked by winning teamwork and several ambitious projects.

Inspired by the headquarters values and philosophy, the branch has become an important reference point for the Turkish market in the supply of automation for the plastics processing industry.

Located in a strategic position between Europe and Asia in Istanbul, the largest metropolis of the state, as well as in one of the main production districts of the country, Moretto Turkey stands out for its qualified consulting, careful analysis of customer requests and the proposal of dedicated and effective solutions, as stated in a press release. The direct presence on the market allows the company to ensure timely and immediate after-sales assistance.

Entry into the Market at Plasteurasia Exhibition

Officially inaugurated in September 2012, the Turkish office reportedly immediately received an outstanding feedback from sector operators with a first supply of a stand-alone conveying system in November 2012. Entry into the market is then official with Moretto first participation as Moretto MTR at Plasteurasia exhibition in December 2012.<img src="tango:{E954007A-1E0E-4F26-AB49-CC1E41F15623}"/>

This was the beginning of a constant growth offering to the market a range of technologically advanced products. “We are proud to be part of a Group that has been able to evolve over time by predicting and often anticipating the needs and evolution of an even more demanding and competitive market. The offer of innovative, integrated and customer-oriented solutions has allowed us to achieve a prominent position in the sector” says Tolga Bostanci, Sales Area Manager of Moretto Turkey.

Since its opening, the branch has experienced a gradual and constant development both in terms of turnover and customers portfolio thanks to the expertise and determination of a team that has been able to face the market challenges with competence and passion, helping to make Moretto a recognized and affirmed brand.

Looking to the future, there are many projects to develop. Among all, the creation of a showroom where Moretto products will be exhibited and where commercial and technical training will be held to guarantee a promptly trained staff. A new space to welcome customers and partners who will be able to deepen their auxiliary automations knowledge and live a real brand experience.

“The branches represent the link between the headquarters and the local markets, decisive to “export” in the world not only the products, but also the principles and culture of our company without losing sight of our mission: the customer satisfaction. The Moretto Turkey development in these ten years demonstrates the effectiveness of the decisions taken over time. This is only the beginning of a journey that sees new challenges, plans and goals to be achieved” comments Renato Moretto, President of the Group. “A warm thank you to Tolga Bostanci and Muslu Satar and to the whole branch team for the excellent work they have done in these ten years together” says Renato Moretto.

Moretto MTR branch in Istanbul was founded in 2012.
