Moretto at NPE 2018

The combining of resins will be spotlighted at NPE 2018 by Moretto’s gravimetric blender Gravix, representing what has come to be known as perfection in gravimetric batch dosing, both for the integrity of its blended output and its quality of construction.

Featuring rugged, foolproof “double eyelid” dose metering devices, a precision batch weighing hopper, a fully homogenous and easily cleaned mixer and Moretto’s exclusive Vibration Immunity System that assures accurate weighing, even on injection machines that suffer from shaking during platen movements.

Gravix blenders are offered in 8 models for processing ranging from 11 to 11,000 lb/hr and up to 12 simultaneous materials. The advanced, color, touchscreen interface provides intuitive use of the blender for set-up, use, troubleshooting and maintenance and accommodates storage of up to 200 recipes.

Also featured at Moretto booth will be an extensive range of stainless steel TEKO liquid temperature controllers in both water and oil mediums, guaranteeing absolute, automatic temperature precision for IMM molds as well as extrusion dies, barrels, rollers and baths. Models range from 0.6 to 54 Kw and up to 574 °F.

In the Bottle Zone, Moretto will recreate PET pre-form and cap molding operations, clearly displaying the essential technologies for resin conveying, blending and drying along with complete supervisory control for the successful production of PET pre-forms for bottles and HDPE caps.

Featured equipment shown in this real-world simulation will be:

• A “smart” conveying system interconnected via Moretto ONE WIRE3,
• The Moretto Gravix DGM 900, a high-accuracy gravimetric batch blender,
• The advanced Moretto Eureka Plus drying system equipped with:
• A Moretto Purex condensate separator, and
• A Moretto Mowis supervisory control system, operating
• Moretto Smart Factory 4.0

The system is also equipped with a Moretto Mold Dryer, designed to prevent the formation of condensation in the molding area, regardless of factory location, environmental conditions or the speed of processing. Avoiding condensation assures higher product quality, and enables production efficiency by actually reducing cycle times.

Targeted to fully meet all of the expectations of the PET industry, Moretto’s pre-form molding display will provide real, demonstrable, technological solutions, applicable to the entire process for reliability, performance, process consistency and energy optimization. In fact, over the years, Moretto customers themselves have found that Moretto’s high standards guarantee an optimal final product both in structural integrity and aesthetics, providing “a certified quality-constant over time, zero waste, and a production efficiency increase with a consequent strong reduction in operating costs”.
