Extrusion International 3-2022

5 Extrusion International 3/2022 Huhtamaki announced a first-to-market sustainable innovation for the global pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. Huhtamaki's Push Tab ® blister lid is mono- material PET and free from aluminum. It is designed to meet the stringent safety requirements of highly regulated pharmaceutical and healthcare packaging Using the Circular Triangulation Sensor, the inner geometry of bores, tubes, tanks, and other cavities can be measured. The radial laser beam measures the inner geometry around 360° in 3600 angle steps. The result is a precise inner cross section, and a 3D-model of the inner surface profile can be generated from the data obtained The recently opened Circular Plastics Australia PET recycling facility in Albury-Wodonga, New South Wales, is equipped with a recoSTAR PET 215 HC iV+ PET bottle-to-bottle recycling line from Starlinger that produces 2.5 tons of rPET per hour Cover: ECON – Pelletizing is in our DNA ECON specializes in the development, production and global marketing of innovative solutions for underwater pelletizing technology and screen changers. ECON has secured numerous patents since its establishment in 1999. International producers of rawmaterials, compound and masterbatch manufacturers and recycling companies value the quality and effciency of ECON machines. ECON underwater pelletizers feature the leading "thermal insulation" technology, offering signifcant advantages over conventional systems. The insulation prevents the heat flow into the process water, which saves energy. At K 2022 ECON presents the ECON PET-Edition - which is designed for pelletizing of PET and rPET - in a live demonstration (Hall 9, Booth # C30). With use of the ECON PET-Edition, a degree of crystallization of 30% to 40% is achieved.

However, a new comparison of product parameters at the end of the extrusion line also offers tube and pipe manufacturers attractive advantages.
