MORETTO will present its innovations at the FAKUMA 2024 plastics trade fair

Moretto, the Italian company based in Massanzago (Padua) leader in the production of automations for the plastics processing industry, will be present with several novelties.

Moretto considers fundamental to invest in innovation, research and testing activities to design and develop future-oriented solutions. The laboratory of the R&D department consists in several state-of-the-art instruments such as rheometers for viscosity control, a gas chromatograph for acetaldehyde control, a DSC for crystallinity control, professional sound level meter, fine dust measurement, infrared cameras, professional high-speed cameras (10,000 frames per second), temperature and airflow control, chilled mirror hygrometer for humidity measurement, anemometers and portable testing tools.

In addition, Leonardo, the Supercomputer with a mathematical simulation software capable of calculations of:

• Load-bearing structures such as mezzanines, mechanical strength;
• Thermodynamics for controlling heat distribution;
• Fluid dynamics with analysis of air and fluid flows;
• Electromagnetism for electromagnetic energy analysis;
• Sound analysis, precision of acoustic impact on devices.

Five novelties

Moretto involves this high technological equipment in the design of its automations. They have been essential in the product development of Flowmatik, Kruise Kontrol, X Dryer, X Comb, X MAX, Kasko, and automatic One Wire 6. The challenge goes on with new products such as Gravix DGM 20, Kasko Filterless, X Comb 12, 6050 Hyper Cut grinder and Navigator 9001.

Gravix, high performance doser that elevates precision in micro-dosing: digital electronics, double eyelid shutter device, self-learning for a compact doser with great benefits for customers.

Kasko Filterless, a system suitable for plastic granules and/or regrind conveying with the same performance as a filtered system, while avoiding maintenance and filter cleaning.

X Comb 12, the smallest dryer in the market has a constant performance, -50 °C Dew Point, and very low energy consumption. Moretto offers the smallest dryer with OTX (Original Thermal eXchanger) hopper and X MAX, the biggest dryer capable of 20,000 kg per hour suitable for large productions, extrusion and/or compounding guaranteeing constant efficiency. Moretto dryers range consists of 49 models offering a wide and complete product range in dehumidification. X Comb is the latest of 16 patents in drying.

GR 6050 Hyper Cut, a newly designed, low speed grinder will be introduced in the market. A starve feeding granulator suitable for grinding waste pieces, sprues and blowed parts with 15 movable blades. The engine power is transferred on a single mobile blade and three standard fixed blades. The 160-degree grid increases the GR productivity while reducing consumptions. GR 6050 Hyper Cut is 5.0 ready and second to none.

GR 6050 Hyper Cut

Navigator 9001, a control system developed by Contrex, a company of Moretto group, for blown film production. It is 5.0 ready allowing film production to start automatically in just 5 minutes compared to 25-30 minutes required by conventional automations available on the market. Navigator 9001 ensures double-digit energy savings for film production.

MOWIS, a proprietary supervision platform that simplifies the management of complex systems and provides an immediate view of the plant status for maximum benefits in terms of productivity, traceability, elimination of human error, and optimization of production costs.

To enhance the after-sales service, an interconnected control room ensures remote assistance of the more than 2,200,000 units already installed worldwide. With 115,000 machines produced each year, Moretto is a short supply chain company that manufactures more than 75% of its components in-house in adherence to Smart Factory 4.0 criteria.

This is only a taste of what’s to come at Fakuma! Many other exclusive technologies dedicated to the plastics processing industry will be on display at the exhibition. Products with high technological content capable of raising the quality standard, increasing production efficiency and energy savings of the supplied systems.

The Moretto staff is looking forward to seeing you at Hall B3 - Stand 3208 to find the most suitable solutions and revolutionise your plastics production process.
