Extrusion Asia Edition 2-2025

23 EXTRUSION & RECYCLING ASIA 2/2025 K 2025 cient Rotary Filtration Systems, optimized vacuum technol- ogy, an online viscometer VIS and Gneuss Measurement Technology, customizable recycling lines tailor-made for a speci c material can be engineered. As an option, light- weight or u y materials can be fed into the extruder via a 3C Rotary Feeder. OMNI recycling lines o er Several Letters of Non-Ob- jection (LNOs) from a North American food safety author- ity, EFSA conformity and local approvals in Latin America con rm the decontamination e ciency of the technology. As volatile contamination is removed very e ciently in the MRS extruder under vacuum and solid contamination is removed by ne ltration in the rotary ltration system, OMNI recycling lines o er high quality and food compliant recycling in one simple, compact and sustainable extru- sion step. Typical applications for OMNI Recycling machines in- clude the processing of PET reclaim, such as bottle, sheet regrind or ber waste, into high quality end products, such as thermoformed sheet (suitable for food contact), staple ber, POY, FDY, BCF or strapping tapes. In addition, a wide range of input materials such as PS, PP, PE, or PLA can be recycled. The OMNI series can also be used in the decontamination of post-consumer waste to produce direct food contact products such as HDPE bottle caps or milk bottles, co ee caps and for odor reduction and degas- sing of PA, SAN or other polymers. OMNI 110 Recycling Machine for post-consumer PET reclaim At the K show, Gneuss will present the core of an OMNI Recycling Machine – a Multi Rotation System MRS 110 extruder. After the show, the complete line – including, among other components, a water ring vacuum system and the fully automatic RSFgenius 90 melt ltration sys- tem – will be delivered to Cotnyl, a leading Argentinian manufacturer specializing in thermoformed plastic packag- ing. Designed to process 600 kg/h of undried and uncrys- tallized PET or 400 kg/h of PP, the system will produce high-quality thermoforming sheet for food packaging ap- plications. The technology has already been approved for food contact by Argentina’s food safety authority Senasa. In addition to its compact design, which requires very little space and can therefore be easily integrated into existing premises, the OMNI scores highly in terms of exibility. The fully automated control of vacuum, extruder, dosing, degassing dwell time and lter exchange ensures a con- sistently high quality of the end product while allowing the use of lower cost input materials. With the tight and varying materials market, it is becoming increasingly important to have maximum exibility in regard to the input material, es- pecially in the case of varying and uncertain input qualities in the future. The compact design also results in very low energy con- sumption, signi cantly reducing the CO2 footprint of the re- cycling process. Open House at Gneuss Gneuss’ headquarters are located just about 200 kilome- ters from D sseldorf. During the K trade fair, an Open House event will take place at the Gneuss Technical Center. On Friday, October 10, several systems will be running at the facility in Bad Oeynhausen. Various applications will be demonstrated, focusing on key topics such as odor reduc- tion and the recycling of plastics for food contact applica- tions. Measurement Technology Reliable Sensor Solutions from Gneuss: Gneuss o ers robust and adaptable sensor technology for pressure and temperature measurement in extrusion processes. De- signed to meet the harshest industrial demands, Gneuss sensors withstand abrasion, corrosion, and extreme tem- peratures. Thanks to exible in-house production, Gneuss delivers both standard and custom-made sensors with short lead times. Safety and Quality in Focus: The increasing demands placed on safety and quality make the continuous monitor- ing of measuring equipment essential. This is particularly true of pressure sensors with a safety function. The reliable Gneuss CCS 1000 pressure sensor testing device is now available with a heated sensor holder, enabling testing un- der real operating conditions. Thanks to its modular design, the CCS1000 can also be retro tted with a temperature-controlled pressure port. Ad- ditionally, the newly developed clamping device for the sen- sor holder reduces wear on the sealing surfaces, preventing leaks during testing. Gneuss can provide a customised solution for your test- ing needs based on the CCS1000. Pressure ports are avail- able for various thread types, including ½" and M18. Display units can be integrated for the sensor types you use on re- quest. Gneuss sensors are future-proof thanks to digital IO-Link communication and optional identi cation using RFID chips.
