Even smallest metallic contamination in plastic pellets can cause signifi cant problems during the production and processing of plastics. SIKORA has developed a special offline inspection system that reliably detects and analyzes contamination from 50 μm in plastic pellets. With the support of X-ray technology, a non-destructive look into and through plastic pellets is possible
Key DuPont exhibits and the company’s commitment to a collaborative and innovationdriven approach are the major highlights in the interview with Jeroen Bloemhard, Global Vice President at DuPont Transportation & Industrial
The machine manufacturer Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik, world-renowned for the production of extruders and grinding machines, is further expanding its product portfolio with the introduction of the “Robotics & Automation” and “WEBER Additive” divisions
SML is developing foamed sheet for hot fi ll applications with new features in terms of heat resistance, insulation and recyclability in a joint R&D programme together with its partner KIEFEL. The basis for these new products is a 3-layer PET (or PP) sheet with a physically foamed central layer
Siechem Wires and Cables has developed underwater cables using a tailor-made BASF plastic additives package. The additives play a crucial role in stabilizing the production process and extending the service lifespan of underwater cable sheathing
ENTEX Rust & Mitschke is once again represented this year with a stand in the German pavilion at the interplastica fair in Moscow. The main attraction at the exhibition stand will be the new L-WE 30 laboratory roller extruder
