Extrusion International 4-2017

16 Extrusion International 4/2017 INDUSTRY NEWS Mexico: Full House at the Open House The all-electric PX series, surface decoration with dynamic mold heating (DMH), pipe extrusion, pultrusion of profiles, and dosing of polyurethane. No other company can present such a wide range of plastics processing as the companies of the KraussMaffei Group. The visitors at the Open House at the location in Querétaro / Mexico in July appreciated the diver- sity: 200 guests attended the presentations and live demon- strations. That’s efficiency: People visiting the Open House at the KraussMaffei Group Mexico could get to know the whole repertoire of plastics processing in just one day: From injec- tion molding to reaction process machinery and extrusion. 200 guests took up the invitation, and Klaus Jell, General Manager of the KraussMaffei Group Mexico, summarizes the event with great enthusiasm: “The day was a resound- ing success. Our customers found the mix of live demonstra- tions and specialist presentations to be very valuable, and we could sense their positive and motivating mood.” At present there is great demand for machines on the Mexi- can market, in particular in the areas of packaging, agricul- ture, automotive and construction. The three segments of In- jection Molding, Reaction Process Machinery and Extrusion Technology in the KraussMaffei Group therefore showcased technologies and developments that provide the customer with solutions precisely in these areas – of course, with a little local color. Reaction Process Machinery thus demonstrated its RimStar Compact metering machine using the manufac- ture of small tequila barrels, and presented the new training program in Querétaro and Monterey. Extrusion used presen- tations to showcase pipe and profile manufacture from vari- ous materials, as well as compounding. www.kraussmaffeigroup.com New automatic knife position system “QUICK SET NW” Dienes is proud to present on Labelexpo 25th to 28th Sep- tember 2017 in Brussels booth 4/A52 the “QUICK SET NW” a new automatic knife position system for the area narrow web.
