Extrusion International 6-2022

42 Extrusion International 6/2022 K 2022 Innovative Recycled Resin Solution T he Brazilian company Plastiweber, that develops sus- tainable solutions for plastics, presented at K 2022 its polyethylene resin with one 100% of recycled content. During the trade fair, the company showed to strategic play- ers of the international market the values of the high-perfor- mance solution, which promotes social and environmental bene ts, reduces the impact of residues, and has multiple capacity of recycling and applications in new packaging. The plastic resins proceed from a circular ecosystem that is composed of more than 50 actors, such as cooperatives, environmental projects, brand owners and retail compa- nies. Through Plastiweber’s technology, all the materials provided by the company’s partners are processed, trans- formed, and bene ted, resulting in different types of resins composed by linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and by low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Plastiweber’s Special Projects Manager, Lucas Pellenz, was one of the company’s representatives at the event. He believes that K 2022 was strongly focused on sustainability and recycling. “All of the leaders and representatives of the plastics industry are worried about those questions and, during the event, have presented future perspectives and solutions for the segment. Plastiweber’s part is to stand up for the relevance of plastics in the transition for a circular economy. The European and international markets want to buy certi ed post-consumer resins and products with a Quality Control in Extrusion Lines with X-Ray Technology F or over 20 years, SIKORA has been internationally known for its reli- able and safe X-ray measuring sys- tems. For single-layer applications, SIKORA has developed the X-RAY 6000 PURE. The newX-RAY 6070 PURE and X-RAY 6120 PURE models are available on the market, for measur- ing tubes and hoses from 6 to 65 mm and 10 to 110 mm, respectively. In addition to single-layer tubes and hoses, the total wall thickness of many multi-layer products can also be mea- sured. In combination with the ECO- CONTROL PURE, a processor system with a high-resolution 15“ touchscreen display, the measured values are clear- ly displayed for further analysis. The X-RAY 6000 PURE is a cost-effec- tive, safe and powerful alternative to conventional measuring technologies. The system allows to constantly moni- tor the wall thickness and to reduce it to the minimum tolerance value. Safe- ty margins can be successively reduced and the automatic control keeps the di- mensions within the specification. The assurance of quality in combination with material savings leads to a signifi - cant increase in your productivity. For measuring up to three layers, SIKORA also offers the X-RAY 6000 PRO.
