K 2013: Gravimetric batch dosing and mixing equipment for medical application

motan presents the theme of “Service” as the focus of its presence at the K 2013 fair in Hall 9, Stand B 24. Questions concerning peripheral equipment technology will be discussed in the “mo’s corner” lounge area. The visitor determines the subject. The selection of exhibits has also been tailored to specific application requirements reflecting motan’s commitment to comprehensive understanding of processes in order to offer product and system solutions to users with customer applications in mind – e.g. in medical technology, in the pharmaceutical area, extrusion, injection moulding and blow moulding, etc. The new range of small compressed air dryers with hopper volumes of 0.75 / 1.5 / 3 and 5 litres counts as one of the highlights among the exhibits.

Medical technology demands compliance with stringent requirements and standards – conformity with FDA regulations, GMP and many others. It is therefore not surprising that this requires cleanroom quality, especially when considering plastic products, i.e. medical devices that are used on or inside humans. The requirements to which plastics processing machines are submitted are correspondingly tight – and not least also for the materials management equipment.

The Ultrablend gravimetric batch dosing and mixing equipment is ideal for applications placing high demands in terms of freedom from contamination, mixing precision and repeatability. Due to its IntelliBlend technology, this silicone-free system offers high dosing precision and dosing consistency. The system is additionally equipped with filterless conveying. motan attached high value in its design of container components in electropolished stainless steel for clear functions in a hygienically clean working environment.

The Luxor CA S range with hopper volumes of 0.75 / 1.5 / 3 and 5 litres has been conceived especially for the production of small and micro parts. On account of their light and compact construction, the dryers can be simply mounted on all processing machines, also when space is highly restricted. The Luxor CA S compressed air dryers take factory supplied compressed air which is expanded to atmospheric pressure. This produces dry process air with a very low dew point which is then heated to the required drying temperature. No desiccant is required. All models are equipped with a thermostat and low air flow safety switch to prevent overheating of the material in the event of insufficient air throughput.
