• SYBLEND the gravimetric continuous loss-in-weight dosing unit is designed to dose and blend several components simultaneously.
• MYBLEND the ideal feeder for all processes where the dosing control and stability must be contained within very tight boundaries, as in the case of textile and pharmaceutical lines.
• TETRYX the automatic material sorting control unit allows up to 24 pick-up points (silos, day-bins) to be connected to a maximum of 24 hopper loaders in one single station, fully automating the transport of materials from storage to users 
• Measuring and gauging systems – a wide range of scanners will be on show, providing a solution for multiple applications

PLASMAC: Hall 15 Booth 81 – recycle scrap, reduce cost, reuse the material

• OMEGA M – a shredder / extruder combination, ideal for repelletising high speed inline trims or for offline use to recycle off-spec reels, lumps, bales, loose material or start-up scrap. It’s compact design, energy saving design make it the ideal solution for your inhouse recycling needs.
• ALPHA XS – the smallest footprint repelletiser with Short Screw Technology ensuring low shear, low melt temperatures guaranteeing an absolute minimum of material degradation giving you the highest quality recycled pellet.

EUREXMA: Hall 15 Booth 81 – specialists in the production of Laboratory and Pilot lines

• PILOT BLOWN K7 – a pilot line for the production of 7-layer films, complete with Syncro Eyes inspection system and SYLINE XXS gravimetric feeders
