For Immediate Release

WITTMANN BATTENFELD – State-of-the-art Injection Molding Technology

Peripherals for the Asian Market

WITTMANN BATTENFELD (SHANGHAI) CO., LTD will participate in CHINAPLAS 2013, the 27th International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries, which will be held on May 20-23, 2013 at China Import & Export Fair Complex, Pazhou, Guangzhou, PR China.

At CHINAPLAS 2013, WITTMANN will be presenting its state-of-the-art injection molding technology and peripherals to interested professionals in Hall 4.1 at Stand C01. Along with the latest injection molding machines, visitors at the WITTMANN BATTENFELD stand will also have the opportunity to see automation and state-of-the-art peripheral equipment.

WITTMANN will unveil two machines of the new PowerSeries from WITTMANN BATTENFELD: one of these new machines will be from the allelectric EcoPower model series and the other will be the MicroPower, which has been designed for the injection molding of miniature and micro-components.

In addition, the WITTMANN BATTENFELD Group is introducing their latest auxiliary equipment for plastics processors at CHINAPLAS 2013. Numerous newly developed and efficient solutions in the fields of automation, tempering, material conveying, blending, granulation, and drying will be presented.

Robot W808

The W808 represents a significant upgrade over the previous W801 version and the new model is now available from the WITTMANN Group worldwide. The W808 can handle a maximum payload of 3 kg and is designed for optimum uses on injection molding machines of up to 150 t clamping force.

DRYMAX Aton

The new wheel dryer DRYMAX Aton unites the advantages of a constant dew point

with high energy efficiency. The dryer achieves these very contradictory

requirements through the completely new structure of the wheel as well as by a patented operating mode, the so called EcoMode.

Conveying Technology

The FEEDMAX B and BS/6 series loaders are built for highest functionality and demanding applications. The modular design of these vacuum loaders guarantees flexibility to meet individual customer requirements for material throughput as well as for simple cleaning.

TEMPRO plus D: The New Temperature Controller with Touch Screen

The TEMPRO plus D embodies additional developments from the already successful TEMPRO plus C series. As a unique enhancement, the new plus series has a color touch screen control providing a superior user interface.

Gravimetric Blending

The new gravimetric blender GRAVIMAX Primus B14 presents itself with a completely new material mixing bowl, which opposes the creation of static charges in the master batch. Usually the master batch or different material combinations have tendencies to accumulate static charges, which is further aggravated by the previous conveying process or the motions in the mixer. However this static causes problems for a homogeneous mixture and directly influences the blending result.

SUMO Junior 2 Compact Granulator

The SUMO Junior 2 C screenless granulator fits perfectly into the product portfolio between the SUMO Minor 2 and Junior 2 granulators. Because of the reduced floor space requirements (approximately 40% less than the Junior 2) this granulator is ideally suited for use beside the molding machine. Like the Junior 2, this model is also designed for the recycling of bigger sprues and hard or filled plastic parts.

In addition the granulator model MAS2 is displayed as representative of the MAS series of compact granulators. The WITTMANN MAS series conventional granulators have been developed specifically for the recycling of soft to medium hard plastics. The very compact design allows the MAS granulators (MAS1 to MAS4) to be used directly beside the injection molding machine. The hoppers are manufactured with a special sandwich design to provide optimal sound insulation for low noise operation.
