Moretto
Italian ancillary equipment producer Moretto S.p.A. gives pride of place to its Eureka plastics material conditioning system on its stand at Fakuma 2014. The Eureka system consists of three elements, a FLOWMATIK airflow management and distribution system, the OTX hopper drier and the X Max drier and has been developed over a 13-year period of simulation, experimentation and testing, leading to what company founder and CEO Renato Moretto describes as “the most ambitious project in the history of dehumidification during my 45 years carrier in the plastics world”.
Moretto says Eureka is "the only drying system that can process 10,000 to 12,000 kg/h of material in compounding, extrusion and PET processing – where it has up to 56 per cent lower energy consumption than traditional drying systems as observed by customers".
