Extrusion International 2-2017

12 Extrusion International 2/2017 INDUSTRY NEWS the line from the hot/cold values of the diameter with the Hot/Cold Control Module HC 2000. The differential measuring method is also used in multi- layer extrusion processes. The wall thickness is hereby cal- culated from the difference of the outer and inner diam- eter of the hose measured in real time. For extrusion lines where in addition to the wall thickness eccentricity values of the product are required or where a wall thickness determination by means of a differential measurement is inconvenient due to the material compo- sition, the use of the X-ray measuring system X-RAY 6000 PRO is recommended. This measures precisely and in real time the wall thickness, the inner and outer diameter and eccentricity of up to 3 layers of different material. A con- trol of the measuring values is achieved in combination with the processor system ECOCONTROL 6000. www.sikora.net From the values of two diameter measuring devices the wall thickness is calculated Maag Set To Display New Product Maag, a Dover company and worldwide leading manufac- turer of gear pumps, pelletizing and filtration systems, and pulverizers for demanding applications in the plastics, chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, is pleased to announce that it will be displaying a number of its technologies in Booth S61 in Hall 5.1 at Chinaplas 2017, which will be held fromMay 16-19 at the China Import & Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou, China. The highlight of the show for Maag will come when the com- pany unveils its new ZHULI Underwater Pelletizing System. The ZHULI system combines Maag’s best existing pelletizer, water- box bypass, process water and dryer technologies. Other Maag products that will be on display at Chinaplas 2017 include: www.maag.com Maag Automated Underwater Pelletizer -PEARLO ® Underwater Pelletizer: Designed to process spherical pellets for rawmaterials, compounds, masterbatches, engineer- ing plastics, wood and nature filler-filled polymer composites, thermoplastics elastomers, hot-melt adhesives and gum bases at capacities that can reach 36,000 kg (79,200 lbs.) an hour -CSC Series Screen Changers: Features a double-piston design that allows tailor-made adjustment of the filtration unit per the user’s specific process requirements while allowing the use of five different filter-cavity shapes within the same screen-chang- er housing: circular, oval, arched, leaf-disc and candle -x6 class Gear Pump: Offers improved volumetric efficiency and pressure capabilities that allow it to be operated at reduced rpms, shear rates and temperatures, resulting in reduced resi- dence time and energy consumptionwith improved production rates, polymer quality and pump life cycle -BAOLI S Strand Pelletizer: The BAOLI S builds on the standard- setting BAOLI pelletizer model with its innovative automated cutting chamber interlock system able to deliver increased per- formance, higher productivity and reliability, improved han- dling, greater flexibility and an optimized cost/benefit ratio in critical strand-pelletizing applications. “We are honored to have the opportunity to display Maag products at Chinaplas 2017. We feel that our products help to meet the show’s goal of featuring the latest high-techmaterials, smart-manufacturing systems and green solutions for China’s plastics and rubber industries, especially with the unique line up of Maag products on display at this year’s show,” said Paul Merich, VP/GMof Maag Greater China.
