Optimizing plastic processing by modifying thermal and rheological properties of the material

Based on zinc hydroxystannate chemistry, Flamtard™ H is thermally stable up to 220°C and is the synergist of choice for many low temperature processing polymers such as PVC. The zinc and tin components in the product act in the gas and condensed phase to provide a dual mode of action for inhibiting the propogation of flame and smoke. Flamtard™ H can be used to replace antimony flame retardants and is typically used at low concentrations in combination with a halogen source or other flame retardant additive. Based on zinc stannate chemistry, Flamtard™ S is an anhydrous product that is stable above 400°C and recommended for high temperature processing polymers. Alongside the synergistic ability of providing flame protection and smoke suppression properties, Flamtard™ S is also an acid scavenger and as such provides anti-corrosion functionality in systems where free acid is generated during polymer processing. Flamtard™ S can be used to replace antimony flame retardants and is typically used at low concentrations in combination with a halogen source or other flame retardant additive. A mixed metal (hydroxy)oxide that can be used as a cost-effective, nonhazardous replacement of antimony-based flame retardant synergists in PVC formulations. Flamtard™ X can be used at low concentrations in combination with a halogen source or other flame retardant additive.

The FlexCell from WITTMANN BATTENFELD Germany combines maximum efficiency and high cost-effectiveness. Alexander Paech, Sales Manager for Automation and Peripherals, is pleased to present this innovation live at Kuteno 2025. The FlexCell automation cells are space-saving and incorporate a protective enclosure, linear robots, and conveyor belts in a single compact unit. The FlexCell is modular and retrofittable, suitable for injection molding machines of all brands, and can be integrated into existing production facilities. There are three versions – Basic, Primus, and Plus – that cover various injection molding applications, from simple pick-and-place tasks to the integration of downstream processing units such as inline recycling or packaging. The modular design allows for customized customization. The cells dock directly onto the injection molding machine and allow production with the machine safety door open, bringing the automation particularly close to the clamping unit. In the Primus and Plus versions, the protective enclosure is mounted on the conveyor belt and does not require a separate footprint. All automation components are securely enclosed, contributing to greater work safety and more efficient setup processes. Temperature control units can also be integrated beneath the conveyor belt to save space. The tool compartment is easily accessible for manual intervention as well as maintenance and repair work. The FlexCell is characterized by short delivery times and an excellent price-performance ratio.

A wide range of trimming tasks require flexible solutions. With our FRIMO FlexTrim systems, we offer all cutting processes to meet your complex requirements reliably and precisely, even with the smallest tolerances: Milling, ultrasonic cutting, blade cutting, scoring, deburring, also combined and with a customized level of automation.

The spearhead of standardization is the flexline automation concept, which enables the system to be used for multiple production runs of various hybrid components. Standardized feeding, processing, and testing stations, combined with a product-specific changeover kit, generate cost efficiency and allow for multi-purpose system use. The advantages are clear: ✓ Multiple uses for different projects ✓ Possibility of automated production of small and medium annual batch sizes ✓ Use of long-established processes ✓ Reduced implementation time ✓ Reduced investment in equipment ✓ Reduced footprint in production ✓ Avoidance of single-purpose, unused systems

Mobile. Quick to assemble. Approval-friendly. The concrete flex plate is an innovative, flexible foundation solution for standard silos. Instead of relying on a classic in-situ concrete foundation, the silo is assembled on a prefabricated, statically coordinated concrete plate – quickly, cleanly and with maximum location flexibility. What is the concrete flex plate? The concrete flex plate is a factory-made, statically optimised base plate that is placed directly on a prepared, stable subgrade. This completely eliminates the need for the otherwise necessary in-situ concrete foundation. Immediately after the plate has been set, silo assembly can begin straight away – without curing times, without construction site concrete, without delays. Your advantages at a glance 1. Time savings during assembly 2. Cost advantage over in-situ concrete foundations 3. Flexibility when changing locations 4. Advantages in the approval process Technical data: Max. silo height: 11,250 mm. Diameter: 3,000 to 4,200 mm Storage volume: up to 110 cbm Material: Aluminium: EN AW-5754 (AlMg3) Stainless steel: 1.4301/1.4404 Bulk density: up to 20 kN/cbm
