Granulierplattenrohling für die Herstellung von Kunststoffgranulat mit aufgelötetem Verschleißschutzring aus Hartmetall.

The auxiliary mill is an efficient solution for the gentle shredding of sprues, scrap, and defective parts directly at the production machine. Its slow speed ensures exceptionally quiet, energy-efficient, and dust-free operation – ideal for use even in sensitive production environments. The low speed results in uniform shredding of the material, minimizing heat generation and material stress. This slow-running auxiliary mill is therefore particularly suitable for engineering plastics, delicate materials, and high-quality recyclates. Its compact design allows for space-saving installation directly next to the injection molding machine. Robust blades and a stable construction ensure high operational reliability in daily use. Advantages: *auxiliary mill with slow, material-friendly speed *quiet operation for use near production *low heat and dust generation *ideal for sprues, rejects, and residual material *compact design and easy integration into existing systems

Reprocessing Plastic Scrap into Valuable Regrind

Almost all ZEDEX® families’ materials are available in form of plastic granules and generally are suitable for thick-walled injection moulding parts. These types of granules are the ones that will be offered in case of enquiry without any specific requirements.

AT THE CUTTING EDGE WITH ROBOT AND CONTROLLER NEUTRALITY Advances in technology have made highly complex concepts, among them automation through the use of robots, accessible to a wider public. According to the globally recognised World Robotics Report, the most important trends in this area are the simple integration and programming of the system components used for this purpose. As a technology company and automation specialist, we see this challenge as a key opportunity to make automation as easily available as possible. In concrete terms, this means developing a plug-and-play standard automation system using icon-based robot programming to create platform-independent software. One for all!

The GRAVICOLOR 310 and 610 dose and mix up to eight different materials precisely and with maximum recipe accuracy thanks to the unique motan cone dosing system. The modular design and excellent engineering guarantee optimum performance, flexibility, and reliability of the units. This gravimetric batch dosing and mixing unit can be used for injection moulding, blow moulding and extrusion processes.

Precise dosing of Masterbach, ground material, additives or fillers as needed using up to four funnels.

With 25 new color formulations specifically for 3D granulate printing, GRAFE is expanding its standard portfolio with an innovative range for design and technology. The PETG-based masterbatches were developed in collaboration with YIZUMI, successfully tested, and approved. A dosage of 5% produces a homogeneous coloration, the intensity of which can be flexibly varied by adjusting the amount added. The masterbatches can be produced quickly and delivered in even the smallest quantities. The material impresses with its wide range of applications—from lampshades and furniture components to logos and technical housing components. Thanks to PETG's low tendency to warp, it is ideal for printing precise, technically demanding components. GRAFE is also presenting two additional add-on batches: one for creating translucent scattering effects and one for metallic glittering surfaces. These can be added to any standard PETG color formulation during dosing. With this offering for PETG—in addition to transparent PMMA colorants—GRAFE is expanding its portfolio of standards for transparent color shades and underscoring its expertise in perfectly combining color and function.

The LATI response to the need for materials of renewable and sustainable origin is reflected in the LATIGEA, LATIECO and BIO families of compounds. LATIGEA compounds are obtained from basic polymers such as amorphous and semi-crystalline PLA or from other different biodegradable resins and / or resins from renewable sources, such as bio-based HDPEs and PAs The needs of the circular economy are instead met with LATIECO, technical compounds made with polymers obtained from chemical or mechanical recycling. Not only resins, but also fillers and reinforcements of natural origin: from vegetable fibres to food processing waste.

Go for a circular economy and use our GREEN COMPOUNDS. These plastics are not only produced in a CO²-neutral way, they are also based on 100% recycled material if desired. Both sustainable and bio-based raw materials and fillers are used. Depending on the application, the recyclates achieve comparable technical properties to virgin materials. Only a high-quality standard in the production processes and the tight specification of all end products ensure the highest batch security.

The WTH-Bio-R series offers bio-based rice bran waxes as a sustainable alternative to fossil-based montan waxes. For the plastics processing industry and KUTENO-relevant applications, they are particularly suitable for TPE, TPU, PET, PA, PC, compounds, masterbatches, resins, coatings and nucleating agents. The series includes four product types: oxidised, esterified, saponified and micronized rice bran waxes. This allows different requirements in processing, formulation and performance to be addressed precisely. WTH-Bio-R waxes support flexible formulations, improve processing and combine bio-based origin with reliable performance for modern plastics applications
