Werner Koch Maschinentechnik GmbH to exhibit tried and tested technology at Chinaplas 2007

Mixing, dosing, conveying and drying with Koch-Technik

Koch Technik will be exhibiting their tried and tested machines and systems for dosing, conveying and drying plastic granulates at Chinaplas 2007.

Ispringen-based Werner Koch Maschinentechnik GmbH has announced that the Graviko dosing system, dry-air dryers in the CKT series, mobile auxiliary dryers in the KKT series and the MIKO mini-conveyor will be on display in Hall 1B, on Stand 507.

The Graviko delivers the same precisely measured quantity, over and over again. With a slider, or alternatively a star feeder, the individual components (grain, powder, ground materials or granules) are dosed into a container with a scale. There is also a precision slider available for quantities from 0.3 g. Each fill quantity is weighed several times to compensate for any variations. If the set weight and the actual weight correspond, the materials are emptied into the mixer. Chamber volume dosing is monitored and corrected by gravimetric dosing. Together they create a control circuit which ensures that the nature of the material does not affect the quantity added. The Graviko offers precision dosing to within ±/2 granules per 1,000 granules – a peak value according to the company. Because with Graviko all components are dosed in free fall, dosing is much faster. Depending on the throughput of the processing machines, up to four different materials can be processed in the three standard versions GK 60, 150 and 300 in the 60 to 300 kg/h range. Quick-release closures, slide and swivel devices allow rapid changes and assembly without the need for tools. Graviko can be used directly on the injection moulding machine and is also completely compatible with the other dosing devices, mixers, feed devices and accessories from Koch.

The reliable CKT dry-air dryers from Koch dry plastic granulates to leave them with the optimum level of moisture. This is an energy-saving, standalone closed circuit that works completely independently of the ambient climate. Dry, warm air flows through the plastic granulate, absorbing moisture and releasing it to a desiccant agent. When the desiccant is saturated, the air is redirected to a container of unsaturated desiccant that is standing by. In the meantime, the saturated desiccant in the first container is regenerated with a heating system. The dew point energy saving program cuts energy costs by up to 45%. Calibrated devices from Panametrics only are used to measure the dew point and are fitted as standard in models with over 300 m3 drying power. Drying containers are available in sizes 60l to 2;800 l.

If drying and conveying space is at a premium, we recommend the compact and mobile KKT auxiliary dryers. These dry air dryers are available as standard and can be used for all practical applications and even for very hygroscopic plastic granulates. The patented Switch control system adjusts the drying process to the throughput and initial moisture content of the plastic granulate, cutting energy costs by up to 40%. Depending on the size of the container, it is possible to load several injection moulding machines with pre-dried material. With two separate drying circuits, the KKT auxiliary dryer offers a permanent supply of dry air - even during the regeneration phase - thus ensuring continuous drying of the granulate. The microprocessor control unit, which was developed in-house, provides a self-explanatory user interface to the program. Microfilters, an overload trip switch, a motor protection switch and air monitoring ensure safe operation. There are three models available, with dry air flow volumes of 55, 75 and 100 m3/h. Drying containers are offered in modular sizes from 12l to 300l.

A weight of just 4.8 kg and a height of 43cm make Koch Technik’s MIKO one of the lightest and smallest compact conveyors on the market. It is the ideal solution for supplying machines with very small quantities of granulate or ground material from adjoining containers. The compact single conveyor has a high-performance collector fan and a capacity of 1.3 litres. The interior is made of special thick glass. Koch’s modular unit construction system allows the MIKO to be mounted on all grain and grist stations and feeding funnels by using an adapter flange. For this only a few hand grips are required - tools are not needed. Regardless of whether new stock, regenerate or granular material is being conveyed, the emergent air is cleaned via an absolutely secure and environmentally friendly polyester cloth filter. The separation occurs up to 2 ym. The cartridge filter is cleaned pneumatically in only 0.5 seconds with a rotor so that it is ready for the next process. The sealed surfaces mean that no dust can emerge with MIKO – this means the machines remain free of dust. For easier handling, the MIKO has a swivel and flap action which is easy and fast to operate with no need for tools. This means materials can be changed over particularly quickly. The appliance reaches a throughput of up to 15 kg/h with a maximum conveying distance of 25m and a conveying height of 5m. Storage containers of 1,2 and 5 litres are available depending on the machine throughput. A 230 V/ 50 Hz connection is all that is required to operate the MIKO.

For more than 30 years, the name Koch-Technik has been synonymous with innovation, precision, modular flexibility and cost-effectiveness in the mixing, dosing, conveying and drying of plastic granulates and plastic powders. Use of our equipment and systems in more than 4,000 plastic processing companies around the world document the acceptance and high efficiency of these systems in everyday production work.
