Extrusion: Anniversary and Open House 

Plant technology continues to develop in ways that are as broadly varied as the products it extrudes. Besides increasing mass throughput, the main objective is to master diversification as it applies to flexibility, efficiency and quality.

Thermoplastic sandwich panels are used as replacements for metals for weight reduction in cars or in the construction industry because of their impressive mechanical properties with minimum use of materials and resources. With ThermHex technology, EconCore N. V., Leuven, Belgium, offers a process for continuous manufacture of honeycomb-core sandwich panels and components, which is claimed to permit the use of sandwich panels, even in cost-sensitive applications.

With its multi-touch extrusion line, consisting of the multi-touch polishing stack presented at K 2013 and a high-speed extruder, the German-Austrian machine manufacturer battenfeld-cincinatti, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany and Vienna, Austria, is meeting the packaging industry’s need to produce film efficiently in high quality. This underscores the cooperation with Korea’s biggest manufacturer of thermoformed packaging article, Dongjin Co., Ltd. Ansong, Korea.

The continuous reduction in film thickness for cost and weight reduction, as well as the faster production rates are increasingly leading to problems caused by electrostatic charging of film during the production process, which casts doubts on all efforts to optimize the production process. With the Manager IQ Easy, Simco-Ion Netherlands, Lochem, Netherlands, offers the possibility, with up to 32 electrostatic charge control units, to control and monitor all system components in a single process from a central point. All the units can be connected by plug and play and are supplied with 24-volt power from the Manager IQ Easy. Warning and alarm messages give the plant operator an overview of the status of all the units. The operator receives an indication that, for example, an anti-static bar needs to be cleaned, or a specified threshold value has been exceeded. Faults can thereby be corrected before they impact the production process. The integration of the IQ Easy system into the plant control system or company network provides an easy-to-use platform for data acquisition and quality management.

The DS 8 pneumatic shear-cut knife holder is now available with the strapline "Senso plus (LED)" also with LED depth adjustment. The double axial design gives it greater stability and durability, and permits speeds up to 3000 m/min. With its precise and convenient depth adjustment, and the knife-head guidance, it is also claimed to have a proven track record when used with thick films and paper types, as well as other materials.

In redesigning its EDI Autoflex VI flat extrusion die, Nordson Extrusion Dies Industries, LLC, Chippewa Falls, WI/USA, has increased the stroke of the lip adjusting system by 43 % compared to the standard system without increasing the system response time. This will enable it to automatically correct a wider range of process fluctuations. Whilst all flat dies with gauge profiling systems have a flexible lip made up of individual adjuster blocks arrayed along the product width, the adjusters in the Autoflex VI include thermally actuated copper alloy translators that are linked to a computer-controlled downstream gauge monitor, the stroke of which controls the gauge by increasing or decreasing the die gap. In the closed control loop, gauge fluctuations can be limited to about 50 % of that achievable with manual systems. Thanks to the increased stroke, for the same response time, the system can better compensate for changes in process parameters.

The industry continues to focus on high-quality films and more efficient production processes and systems. In addition, the terms "smart production" and "Industry 4.0" are continuing to gain in importance in the development of plant and process technology.

Highly Networked Extrusion 

Volatile demand for film production lines is the shifting ground on which the Brückner Group has been operating successfully for years. It repeatedly opens up new markets through acquisitions. Standard systems for packaging are required to achieve greater productivity. In "specialties," development of the technology is driven by trends such as separator films for batteries.

Under the Influence of the  Temperature Curve 

Efficient bipolar plates are needed for storing electric power obtained from renewable energy sources. While polypropylene makes a suitable matrix material for such plates, the necessary level of conductivity can only be obtained by loading it with up to 80 wt. % graphite. To prevent the compound from embrittling afterwards and to ensure it remains easy to process, a method of improving the impact strength with elastomers has been developed.

Reifenhäuser Cast Sheet Coating, Troisdorf, Germany, has designed the new Midex-HSD winder model as a standard to produce up to three webs (additional webs are possible on demand). Depending on the winding shaft used, the maximum reel diameter of 1200 mm can even be obtained with multi-web winding.

Bioplastics are comparable to conventional materials, not only in terms of their mechanical properties. By adding simple mineral additives the fire protection of these materials is improved substantially. Different flame retardants were tested for a sandwich board from bio-based polyurethane with linen cover layers, and their performance has been proven.

Good Fire Protection with Simple  Flame Retardants 

Reifenhäuser Cast Sheet Coating (CSC) GmbH & Co. KG, Troisdorf, Germany, has already presented a number of innovations in the past that, through continuous development, have developed into industry standards. The efficiency of the REIcofeed 2.1 coextrusion feedblock could be further increased by the integration of a small modification. An optional encapsulation device eliminates the need, with many multilayer films, for encapsulation in the feedblock, and the additional extruder that is needed for this. Reifenhäuser CSC will present this new REIcofeed 2.2 model at K 2016.

Continuous Improvement of Innovations 

Amut Dolci Bielloni srl, Biassono, Italy,  has developed a new-generation range of machines as result of the technical synergy generated by the merging of know-how of Amut and Dolci Bielloni. The long-time experience of Amut in the production of extruders has marked a sweeping change in the conventional extrusion concept of stretch film cast lines manufacturing

Again this year, the offering in line designs and retrofit solutions was enormous. Suppliers awaited the fair with foreboding. But following the fair, they all wore a look of satisfaction. Full order books and a high level of interest confirm that recovery is on its way after a time of economic turbulence.
