How do the various vacuum generators differ?
mo briefly presents the most commonly used vacuum generators in the plastics industry
Part of the heavy workers of pneumatic suction conveying – the precise term for the most important conveying method in plastic processing – are without a doubt the vacuum generators. …
37
How can abrasion be minimized for vacuum conveying systems?
mo explains abrasion and measures to prevent abrasion
The distances the material travels in the pipe lines from the material supply to the processing machines can be gruelling – both for the material as well as the material lines. …
36
When is it necessary to purge material lines?
mo explains why purging can contribute to plant safety.
The point of purging is to remove or minimise transported material deposits from a material line. …
35
What is important when choosing and installing pipe lines?
mo describes the most important features of material feed lines
Through pipe lines and hoses from the material source to the processing machine – the distance that material has to cover during material processing can be vast for individual cases. …
34
How can material distribution be automated?
mo explains fully automated material distribution systems
As well as the distribution systems with proportioning valves or manually operated coupling stations described in Issue 33, automated material changes can also be performed. …
33
How can material be optimally distributed?
mo explains how material proportioning valves operate
Supplying a single processing machine with only one material is relatively simple. It becomes a little more complicated when regrind, as well as virgin material, should be supplied to the processing machine. …

When is it necessary to purge material lines?
mo explains why purging can contribute to plant safety
The point of purging is to remove or minimise transported material deposits from a material line. …
31
How does the dedusting of granulate work?
mo explains the dedusting units and implosion purging of filters
For the production of high quality parts, fine dedusting of the material may be required at the end of the conveying process, even if the material is virgin material. …
30
What happens with the dust in the conveying system?
mo explains explains security measures against dust contamination
Dust particles can cause a variety of problems in plastics processing, from quality loss and waste to problems during processing. …
