The fair had 17 display units españoles
Of the 21 to 24 May, Eurexpo (Lyon, France) received the living room Plastexpo, that in this edition celebrated jointly with Alliance, the living room of the outsourcing of the zone of Rhône-Alps, resulting a simbiosis positive for both living rooms.
Of the 500 display units of Plastexpo, that occupied a surface of 25 000 m2, 50% corresponded to manufacturers of machinery of transformation and peripheral equipment, 20% to producers of raw materials, 12% to services to the industry and industrial services, 8% to moulds and accessories, 8% to manufacturers of equipment of measurement and control and 2% remaining to the sector of hygiene and hygiene. Alliance, by his part, had 770 display units, of which 12% corresponded to the sector of plastics and rubber, and estimated that 20% of the 30.000 visitors that expected would be of this sector.
A total of 17 display units Spanish attended to the appointment of the plastics in Lyon, in which 35% of display units were foreign, from 19 countries.
Repol (Polyamides), Merquinsa (thermoplastic, thermostable, elastomers and additives), Ferro Enamel Spanish (thermostable, pigments, colorantes, masterbatches, additives), Suminco (poliolefinas, estirenos and copolymers of estireno, compounds, services of recovery and recycled of polymers) and Supplies Condal/Visoplast (compounds, thermoplastic materials, services of recovery and recycled of polymers), together with Anaip, the Spanish Confederation of Employers of the plastic, that represented them, occupied both stands in the Pavilion 2, devoted to the manufacturers of raw materials. Represented by Anaip was also Cayfi (mould manufacturing and filters of extrusion) and Ascamm, the Associación Catalan of Empreses Constructors of Moulds and Matrices, with both stands in an area devoted of the pavilion 6.
Imapc, the Spanish Association of Manufacturers of Machinery for plastic and rubber, was present likewise in the pavilion 6, presenting to Constructions Margarit Margarit-JSW (inyectoras), Alimatic (pneumatics transport of plastic materials, dryers of hot air, dehumidifiers of dry air), Eurotecno (installations for the recycled of film of polietileno or polipropileno), Covex RS Extrusion (lines of extrusion, screws, cylinders, bobinadoras), Laser Quanta (systems laser for the industry) and Coin and Moulds of Galicia (moulds of injection for thermoplastic).
Economy and ease of utilisation
Economy of power and of materials, and ease of utilisation are the common tendencies of the machinery presented.
Arburg And Battenfeld presented units moldulares with diverse possibilities of combination of the unit of injection and the one of closing. Ferromatik Milacron Attended with his Elektra 100, of high precision and a consumption of power reduced to the half, and Billion with his Hercules Plus for productions of high cadence
horizontal Machines Husky of rotary presses plates for moldeo with more than a material, machines for white room and equipment of moldeo of two materials of Krauss-Maffei, inyectoras of greater plates and a greater step between columns of Mannesmann Demag and the Megat HP 820 t of Sandretto, with step between columns of 1250 x 1060 mm and unit of control SEF 100 with integrated cheese cheese screen in the machine, formed part of the exposed offer.
Margarit-SJW Presented his new series JM-II-170, with system of control adapted to norms CE that presents automatic determination of parameters from the dimensional characteristics of the piece and the material to use, as well as diverse indications of state of the process.
Also in extrusion and blown
Control of the process for a greater saving of material and power is also the tendency in extrusion, and one of the ways undertaken is the systematic control and automated of the thickness. They presented, like novelty, the analysis of the noise by transformed of Fourier and the indirect measure of the thickness in function of the one of the cord in flat filter.
By what refers to the blown, detects in France an increase in the utilisation of the PET, for which Battenfeld Fisher and Sidel presented his respective equipment. In how much to the technical pieces, the blown 3D for pieces under the capó experiences a big increase. The German Battenfeld Fisher has purchased of the Japanese Sumitano the licence of his procedure of blown by succión.
Ease of utilisation, the common shot
To the equal that the machinery of transformation, the robots and manipulators tend to simplify the controls and to improve the interfase with the machine, presenting also a greater speed of trip and a greater hygiene.
The granuladores work to little speed by questions of noise. In the dosage and in the dried stand out an increase in the rapidity and in the precision, without forgetting the ease of cleaning. In this sense fits to stand out the equipment presented by the Catalan Alimatic.
Material and recycled
Policetonas alifáticas with very good chemical and mechanical properties (Shell Chemicals and BP Chemicals) and polymers metalocénicos (Dow Chemical, Hoechst, Basf and Exxon Chemicals, that combines them with his procedure of supercondensación) are the tendencies stood out that, to the equal that the described for the machinery, aimed already in Düsseldorf.
The recycled also was present in Plastexpo, where the emphasis put in concrete applications of these products.
