In the frame of the 9º Congress 'Wood plastic Composite', in the installations of Vienna of battenfeld-cincinnati manufactured a profile macizo of WPC in the first presentation of the new extruder of double husillo parallel fiberex 114. The constructor of machines and main sponsor of the day, organised by the British company Applied Market Information Ltd., it invited to the participants to the demonstration in direct in his Technical Centre. In addition to the line in operation, showed a small exhibition, offered a visit to the factory and a lot of space and time for skilled individual conversations.
The presentation of the line satisfied to the visitors and gave them the opportunity to inform on the newest tendencies in the transformation of WPC.
Also this year the congress of AMI on WPC had a good answer of visitors. 145 professionals of a total of 29 countries took advantage of the international day to inform of the newest developments and tendencies. They treated subjects like an overview of the market, the last developments in materials, tendencies and changes in the technicians of the machines and of the processes.
The deckings keep on being the first application of the profiles of WPC in Europe. The past year launched the stamp of quality WPC, which has given more impulse still to a market that grows between the 20 and 25% annual. It appreciates a clear tendency to the utilisation of profiles of WPC macizos, that has increased in the last three years in 20% to the detriment of the hollow profiles, much more used up to now. The reasons of this tendency find in the advantages of the profiles macizos: on the contrary that the hollow profiles, the macizos also can cut in diagonal and do not require in his installation coverages of singings injected. Since they seem even more to the alternative of the natural wood can commercialise through the same channels of distribution. In the manufacture present the advantage that they can stamp with more ease, do not need a calibración complex and can be manufactured with a greater percentage of material recovered.
Battenfeld-cincinnati Surprises with a 'exhibition' of the operation of his last extruder for WPC
Like consequence of this evolution in the market trends and of the increasing demand of profiles macizos, for battenfeld-cincinnati, pioneering company in the transformation of WPC, was an evidence that had to develop a specific extruder for this application and present it in operation to the international public.
The image shows the extruder fiberex 114, with a rank of capacities of production of 280 to 520 kg/h, increases the range of battenfeld-cincinnati with a machine more than double husillo.
For the profile macizo that produced during the presentation resorted to a material of the Belgian company 'Beologic n.v.', situated in Sint-Denijs, that composes of 50% of PVC and 50% of wooden fibres. With a performance of roughly 500 kg/h and a speed of 1,6 m/min manufactured a profile of 160 mm of width and 25 mm of thickness. Thanks to his technician of process, the extruder attains a stability of the optimum process and a high performance. The hilera, included the unit of calibración and the drag active, are of Greiner Tech.Profile GmbH, situated in Pettenbach, Austria. The rest of the equipment of secondary treatments proceed of battenfeld-cincinnati and stand out by his saving of power and his efficiency.
Other partners that made possible the day were the companies EMDE (with his conveyor espiral), Brabender (with his dosificador gravimétrico), Woywood (with his dosificador of 'masterbatch') and the supplier of the 'masterbatch W&R plastics'.
