Innovations for Compounding and Recycling
The Upper Austrian “MAS Maschinen- und Anlagenbau Schulz GmbH”, inventor and established supplier of the conical co-rotating twin-screw extruder system, will introduce two new innovations for the compounding and the recycling technology beyond the twin-screw extrusion technology at the K 2019
Higher Performance and Productivity of the Pipe Extrusion Plasts Thanks to Industry 4.0 Development
Pipe manufacturers are more and more oriented towards cost efficiency and energy saving, but always aiming at the best performance and output rate achievable for their pipe extrusion lines. Tecnomatic will exhibit innovative solutions for pipe extrusion at this years K-show
New Models Extend Applications for COMPEO Compounders
BUSS’s new COMPEO 88 and COMPEO 110 kneaders for plastics and elastomers are to be introduced at K2019, adding two higher throughput models to the COMPEO range of compounding systems
Circular Economy: Hot Topic at K 2019
Despite the many advantages of plastics, this important raw material has come into disrepute for some time now – because of the plastic waste that pollutes entire regions and fl oats in huge carpets on the world’s oceans. But this problem can be solved. As the concept of “circular economy” plays a central role in this, it has become a hot topic at K 2019
New Technological Developments for Sustainable Packaging Solutions
ILLIG Maschinenbau will be presenting multiple technological novelties at the K 2019. At this year’s stand the focus will be on sustainable packaging solutions according to the theme of circular thinking with aspects such as Designed for Recy-cling and Eco Design
Treatment Technology for the Plastics Industry
Vetaphone, the Danish manufacturer and pioneer of Corona surface treatment will be displaying a diverse range of surface treatment technology for the plastics industry at K 2019
