The energy-efficient inmex heating system is supplemented by cooling coils embedded in the barrel, through which cooling water can flow if necessary. The cooling system can be easily supplied from the machine's water distributor and controlled via an additional control module. After the cooling process, we recommend blowing out the pipes with compressed air to avoid the risk of blockages caused by evaporating residual water. Rapid cooling simplifies material changes where the barrel temperature needs to be reduced. Despite thermal insulation, the inmex barrel module cools down four times faster than a non-insulated standard unit in air. In addition, rapid cooling allows for time savings when rinsing after PEEK processing and offers a sensible approach to avoiding black spots. The rapid cooling can be retrofitted regardless of the manufacturer and, together with the innovative barrel heating, offers the greatest possible flexibility for the user. At our booth you have the opportunity to test a plasticizing unit with rapid cooling. Heat the unit to your desired temperature and cool it down again. Try it out for yourself and experience this innovative technology at our trade fair stand! We look forward to seeing you.

Save time in developing the prototype that suits you best, and stay a few steps ahead of the competition. We support you in the implementation with the building blocks of our service packages and help you to gain a competitive advantage.

With our protosys® rapid tooling process, we enable you to achieve maximum efficiency in your product development. We manufacture individual mould inserts for the production of near-series prototypes flexibly, quickly and cost-effectively. This allows you to work with fully functional components made of series material as early as during the development phase.

We offer solutions for polymer recycling that meet the requirements of one of the most important technologies of the future. Recompounds are an example of recycling engineering polymers to produce sustainable products based on industrial secondary raw materials. In addition to a comprehensive range of polymers and additives from the world’s leading manufacturers, we develop and produce compounds according to specific customer demands. The integration of alternative raw material sources into product development is becoming increasingly relevant. The recycling of reusable polymers from industrial production is an effective and sustainable solution for saving limited resources, reducing residual material quantities and emissions, and advancing the circular economy. Our recompounds are based on recycled production residues from the polymer industry, such as sprues or start-up parts. Recycling processes timely make the valuable raw materials available again for product development and processing. Innovative materials with specific properties are created from sorted regrind by compounding. These are reused in sophisticated technical applications, for example, for e-mobility or regenerative energies. The recycling concept enables reuse at a consistently high quality level. The properties of the recompounds can even be improved compared with the base material through targeted additives and modified to suit individual customer demands. For example, opaque to transparent materials and various color settings, such as for lighting applications like vehicle lighting, can be realized. With a view to circular value creation, we also advise customers on setting up their own circulation system to save resources and costs, achieve sustainability goals, prevent raw material shortages and supply bottlenecks, and secure competitiveness.

The recycled PET, RECOSYS® rPET, is produced as part of RECOSYS®, the world's first take-back and recycling system for PET transfer materials from the graphics industry. KURZ is continuously developing this system. So far, the surplus carrier material has been processed into robust injection molding material. In the next stage, it is now possible for the first time to process it into a pure rPET, which greatly increases the range of possible applications for the recycled material, including fibers and outer packaging for everyday products.

Recyclates make it possible to make products more sustainable by saving CO2 compared to virgin material. As one of the leading companies for the mechanical recycling of engineering and high performance plastics with over 60 years of experience, MKV offershigh quality recyclates. All recyclates comply with the respective legal requirements, such as Reach and RoHS, and are delivered with a product data sheet, safety data sheet and test certificate.
