The mechanical engineering company and plastics specialist Hosokawa Alpine is represented at K with two divisions. On the one hand, the company will be showcasing its expertise in film production and processing, and on the other hand in the field of recycling.
The new AW film winder will be on display at the trade fair stand, focussing on film. The model is manufactured by Alpine subsidiary Hosokawa Kolb GmbH in Niederkassel and combines and extends the advantages of the two existing models: the winder model 700 and the AWD winder. The AW winder enables working widths of 1,000 to 3,000 mm and roll diameters of up to 1,500 mm. The winding speed is up to 300 m/min with a maximum tensile force of 250 N.
Visitors to the stand will also be able to buy a new Cooling system for blown film extrusionimproved Process visualisation softwarenew and Recyclable film solutions or the new Film print AKHN-B inform.
Shredding and cutting in combination
At the stand focussing on recycling, the Polyplex PPC 50/120 shredder-cutting mill can be inspected. The machine has a vertically arranged rotor with an upper shredder zone and a granulator zone below. The feed material for the shredder-cutting granulator combination is dispensed in a self-dosing manner with the aid of a feed unit. The feed can be customised according to the task at hand. After passing through the shredder zone, the pre-shredded material enters the granulator area where it is shredded to granulator fineness.
"With our combi-grinder, granulator fineness is achieved in just one step. The combined drive of the two functions makes shredding even more energy-efficient," says Josef Zöttl, idea generator and Senior Sales Manager in the Recycling & Granulators division at Hosokawa Alpine.
