Press Release for the Entsorga Trade Fair 27th to 30th of October 2009 (Preliminary Report)

1) HERBOLD Granulator with forced feeding (patent applied for)

A new feeding device for size-reduction machines will be presented:

The material to be size-reduced is no longer introduced into the grinding chamber by gravity but the rotor is evenly and horizontally fed by a screw conveyor. This way of feeding has the following advantages in comparison to a traditional constellation:

-Higher throughput (30 % to 50 % higher capacity performances if the granulator size remains the same in comparison to traditional granulators)
-Less energy consumption (30 % to 50 % less power input in comparison to standard granulators)
-The machine is not only available in a dry grinding execution but also in a wet execution for washing contaminated waste
-Even charges of the rotor (less fines and dust in the ground material)
-reduced sound emission (no material flyback)

A special advantage for the operator is that larger quantities can be stored in the feed hopper and treated automatically. A continuous manual feeding of the machine is no longer necessary. In addition, this type of feeding provides a high degree of security for the operator since a flyback of the material is totally impossible. The elimination of the large opening necessary for manual and/or conveyor feeding means a reduced sound emission during the size-reduction process. Possible ways of feeding are now forklift truck or dump body feeding.

2) Herbold wash lines and components

The PET wash line procedure has been developed as an answer to the growing demand for a ‘reusable recycling procedure for bottles’. The greatest advantages of this new PET recycling procedure are: no quality deterioration of the material, low energy consumption and at the same time an unchanged degree of cleanness.

Other characteristic features are:
PET is not thermally deteriorated
Recrystallisation and polycondensation can be avoided
Closed water circuit
Lines available with throughput performances from 500 to 3000 kg/h

Herbold can also provide components for already existing wash lines:
wet granulators, friction washers, hydrocyclones, mechanical and thermal dryers.
Our plants for stretch film waste, our plastcompactors for densifying light materials, our shredders for size-reducing IBC containers without preliminary size-reduction and obviously our SMS and SML granulators, especially our workhorse SML 60/100, mainly chosen for barrels and bottles.

As an in-line or secondary granulator for injection moulding and blow moulding procedures, i.e. the size reduction of pre-forms or bottles, Herbold has developed the granulators of the compact C series with integrated sound insulation.

3) HGM - the so-called HOG shredder

HERBOLD Meckesheim GmbH has amplified their product range with a new series of slow-running granulators which are available in two sizes - HGM 60/100 and HGM 60/145.

The HOG shredder (HGM) is a single-rotor size-reduction machine uniting the advantages of a granulator (size-reduction by knife cutting, appropriate for relatively small screen holes) and those of a shredder (insensitive against foreign bodies, obtuse cutting angle, operation with a reduced rotation speed). It is used for size-reducing difficult materials, especially viscous ones or those containing many foreign bodies, where the service life of knives would be too short with traditional granulators, and normal shredders would not achieve the desired end product. The HOG shredder can be used in dry as well as in wet operation.

Typical fields of application are:

Pre-shredded used tyres
-Post-consumer bottles
-Metal-reinforced rubber or plastic parts
-Shredded waste from car recycling

If the design is looked at, this HOG shredder is far more massive than normal granulators or shredders: the heavy over-dimensioned rotor is equipped with staggered knives (see Fig. 3); the extremely thick-walled grinding chamber is completely armoured inside with exchangeable anti-wear plates. The centrally hinged housing can be opened hydraulically and so ensures an easy access for maintenance and cleaning operations.

The knife insertion pouches of the rotor knives can optionally be equipped with tool-steel knives or with knife holders with interchangeable inserts (see Fig. 4). Depending on the use of the machine, the knives can repeatedly be resharpened (if normal material is processed) or, after having been turned once, will have to be replaced (if very fine material is processed). The stator knives are placed in adjustable knife holders; the knives are mounted in the knife holders outside the machine and adjusted with an adjustment jig.

4) The HERBOLD plastcompactor

The HERBOLD plastcompactor is a recycling machine for transforming waste with poor flowing properties into an agglomerate with high bulk density and excellent flowing properties.

Especially the kind of waste needing a particularly gentle treatment (such as PET and PA film, filaments and fibres) can be recycled in an extremely economic way and without any or only a minimal thermal deterioration.
The end product is an agglomerate with good flowing properties and high bulk density, free from fines and, if requested, even dyed. The granule size of the end product can vary according to the customer’s requirements.

Many customers have already opted for the plastcompactor from HERBOLD MECKESHEIM GmbH (www.Herbold.com) since it best meets the high quality requirements. Due to the short residence time and the special just beginning sintering process ensuring that the material will not melt, voluminous waste with poor flowing properties can be turned into a 100 % reusable resource.

One example among many: treated PET bottles that have been turned into clean but badly flowing flat flakes after washing, separation and drying. With the help of the plastcompacting process, these flakes are not only turned into a material with excellent flowing properties, appropriate for a trouble-free gravimetrical dosing of film production lines. In one production step, the material is completely crystallized at the same time.

The HERBOLD plastcompactor HV 70 with a 250 kW drive is a workhorse obtaining a throughput of up to 1500 kg/h.

HERBOLD has made every endeavour in order to promote the automatisation of the process and currently a fully automatised machine is available ensuring a trouble-free continuous operation without manual adjustment by monitoring the temperature in the compacting chamber.

Due to the low acquisition costs of the plastcompactor, its automatic operation and its low running costs, this machine is an interesting alternative to a reclaim extruder.

BASF specialty foam in solar collectors from the heating technology company Viessmann

The international heating systems manufacturer Viessmann, Germany, now uses Basotect® to insulate its solar collectors. The light, flame-retardant melamine resin foam produced by BASF is fitted to the side walls and the rear of flat-plate collectors. Flat-plate collectors capture solar radiation and convert it into heat. Basotect shows good insulation properties over a long period, even when exposed to high temperatures. It positively influences the air exchange in the collector at different climatic conditions. And in contrast to conventional insulation materials, the BASF melamine resin foam can be cut into different forms. A Viessmann solar combi-system with Basotect flat-plate collector insulation was pronounced test winner by the German consumer organization “Stiftung Warentest” in March 2009, with a rating of “good”.

Long-term heat management
For collectors to absorb as much sunlight as possible throughout their entire service life, durable and heat-retardant materials are necessary. Basotect releases practically no volatile substances that could obstruct solar radiation, e.g. as fogging behind the glass panels of the collectors, and hence reduce the efficiency of the solar system. Because of its good thermal conductivity of <0.035 W/m*K and the intelligent shaping of the insulating pieces, Basotect is able to achieve the same insulating performance as mineral wool, but with less material usage. Basotect makes collector installation easier: It is flexible, fiber-free, and can easily be cut to the contours required.

“With the BASF specialty foam, we have found a material that improves the quality of our flat-plate collectors and, at the same time, makes it easier for us to manufacture them,” says Sigurd von Wenzler, project leader for solar technology at Viessmann. “Compared to the previous standards, we have further increased the efficiency of our new generation of collectors, thanks to Basotect. This means that we are able to offer our customers systems that are of greater interest from an economic point of view.”

Energy savings with flat-plate collectors
Flat-plate collectors consist principally of a safety glass panel, an absorber (usually a selectively coated metal sheet) and metal piping, through which an antifreeze fluid flows. When sunlight shines through the glass panel onto the absorber, the absorber transforms the radiation into heat and delivers it to the fluid in the pipes. From there, the heat is transported into the hot water circuit of the house. If the solar collector system is complemented by a heating supplement, house owners can save up to 30 percent of the annual cost of conventional fuel for the heating of the house.

Basotect, the jack-of-all-trades
Thanks to its favorable combination of different properties ? it is temperature-resistant and flame-retardant, lightweight, flexible, sound-absorbing and thermally insulating ? Basotect is used to acoustically and thermally insulate buildings, cars and trains. The thermoset foam is available in several grades for various applications. For example, it protects the sensitive satellites that the Ariane 5 launcher delivers into space. It is used in Beijing's Olympic swimming stadium as acoustic damping in a new type of suspended structure, and it will soon be found in the planes by the American aircraft manufacturer Boeing.

Lightweight Stabilizer from ContiTech made of BASF Polyamide in the new Gran Turismo Porsche Panamera

-From the virtual world to directly under the hood

Sustainable solutions for lightweight vehicles that also fulfill aesthetic requirements: this is what today’s automakers are looking for. ContiTech Vibration Control, internationally successful manufacturer of engine mounts for the automotive industry and BASF have joined forces to create such solutions. The result is an innovative stabilizer for the new Porsche Panamera. The high-performance integrated component is made of a high-strength polyamide from the Ultramid® CR family and a functionally optimized NR+ natural rubber mixture. It reliably withstands engine torques up to 650 Nm while providing very good sound absorption and secure mounting of the engine in the vehicle. Compared to a metal component with comparable functionality, the sports car manufacturer is able to achieve a weight savings of 35 percent.

Requirement: Permanence and esthetics
With a power of up to 500 HP, the Panamera is the Porsche among the four-doored Premium-Gran Turismo. Such high-performance vehicles present special challenges when it comes to engine mounts. For this innovative automobile, Porsche selected an equally novel material solution. Since the stabilizer is visible when the hood is open, ContiTech Vibration Control worked in close cooperation with Porsche’s design department to give it a visually appealing textured surface.

“The stabilizer has to bear high loads but must also work as a visible part and therefore has to fulfill aesthetic requirements. ContiTech Vibration Control thus built a special mold for the part to achieve an optically high-quality surface”, explains Stefan Wohler, responsible for product development at ContiTech Vibration Control.

No prototypes: Developed on the computer from concept to series

From the very beginning, the component was designed almost entirely on the computer in BASF’s polyamide Ultramid with the aid of BASF’s universally applicable ULTRASIM™ simulation package. “As material specialists and development partner BASF thus supports its customers with a field-tested simulation technology that includes numerous newly developed elements”, comments Bernhard Aumer, ULTRASIM expert from BASF’s Engineering Plastics.

The challenge was to satisfy the criteria for a certain functionality and load-bearing capability within specified spatial constraints. After a few iterations, BASF had a component concept that ContiTech Vibration Control, the system supplier responsible for the entire integrated elastomeric mount, was able to convert directly into a construction near to series quality. No additional testing of prototypes was required and optimization cycles were reduced to a minimum, which translates into enormous time and cost savings in automobile development. Test bench trials at ContiTech Vibration Control and vehicle trials at Porsche confirmed the results.

Installed at two suspension points lengthwise, the stabilizer in the Porsche

Panamera not only fulfills the function of securely mounting the engine, but also satisfies the demanding requirements for an appearance part with an aesthetically appealing surface in the engine compartment. With this in mind, the injection mold was optimized at ContiTech Vibration Control to achieve a fine, matte surface texture. The unique plastic component made of Ultramid® A3WG7 CR replaces a comparable component made of metal: By employing BASF’s ULTRASIM™ simulation package, it was possible to design the component as a production part directly on the computer and without a prototype phase.

Rhodia and its Polyamide 6.6 have been chosen for under-the-hood applications in biofuel engines

Magneti Marelli has chosen Rhodia’s Technyl® to produce the air intake manifold (AIM) and the fuel rail of the Citroen C4 and the C5 2l biofuel engines in Brazil. This choice is extended to Peugeot 407, 307 and 308 series.

An efficient international partnership

The two partners have worked in closed collaboration on this project, as Rhodia Brazil developed the simulation analysis while Magneti Marelli Brazil dealt with parts validations.

The intercontinental collaboration of European and Brazilian teams from PSA, Magneti Marelli and Rhodia has led to the homologation of Technyl® A 218 V30 black, a glass fibre reinforced 6.6 polyamide, for both the AIM as well as the fuel rail used for Brazilian market, a large user of bio-fuels with the flex-fuel system.

Rhodia’s expertise at its clients’ service

Leading the polyamide market in the zone, Rhodia has already developed a strong experience in under-the-hood applications for flex-fuel engines.

Indeed, besides its position of major actor of the PA 6.6 market and its Brazilian experience, Rhodia has developed a strong expertise in the field of permeation, acquired in its CNRS shared laboratory. Rhodia can thus support its automotive customers to face the new challenges imposed by European norms.

Technyl® PA 6.6 is then the material of choice, resisting to high temperature and providing good permeability resistance for under-the-hood applications of the new vehicles.

Milliken Showcases Global Leadership in Polyolefin Enhancement with Launch of New Hyperform® Reinforcing Agent
New Hyperform HPR-803 offers weight savings plus improved surface finish; broadens application possibilities for PP

With the recent decision of the European Parliament setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars in the form of Regulation (EC) No 443/2009, weight reduction promises to become even more imperative for the automotive industry. To help automakers and suppliers achieve greater weight reduction, Milliken Chemical, a division of Milliken & Company, is introducing Hyperform® HPR-803 high performance reinforcing agent for polyolefins. New Hyperform HPR-803 reduces weight by up to 15 percent vs. traditional mineral-filled systems while delivering an outstanding balance of stiffness and impact strength. Further, the new Milliken agent offers comparable surface finish to talc-filled compounds that cannot be achieved with chopped glass fiber reinforcement. The company’s continuing innovation is enabling customers to improve the appearance, performance, and productivity of their products, and expand potential polyolefin application areas.

The European union will require automakers to drastically reduce CO2 emissions in the coming years, with a target of 95g/km by 2020. Automakers will have to pay penalty payments if they don’t meet the new requirements. To a large extent, lighter cars result in cleaner cars. Plastics such as polyolefins are already playing an important role in reducing vehicle weight.

“Polypropylene is a versatile material that is increasingly selected for interior and exterior automotive parts - in fact, about 50 to 70 kilograms of PP are used per vehicle, on average, depending on where you are in the world,” said Wouter Reyntjens, Business Development Manager, Milliken Chemical. “However, the traditional reinforcements used with PP either add undesirable weight or provide an unsatisfactory appearance.”

Reyntjens continues, “Milliken has a strong history of innovation and leadership in additives that improve the aesthetics, processability and physical/mechanical properties of polyolefins. Hyperform nucleating agents are commonly used to improve dimensional stability, optimize productivity, improve barrier and enhance mechanical properties.

The property space targeted by reinforcing agents is a natural technology extension for Milliken, and Hyperform HPR-803 complements our existing offering to polyolefin formulators and converters. With its unique combination of attributes, we believe customers will find Hyperform HPR-803 the best polyolefin reinforcement for today’s most demanding applications.”

Complementing Milliken’s other Hyperform additives, including the company’s Hyperform hyper-nucleating agent, the new reinforcing agent was developed to meet the needs of the automotive and appliance industries. Advantages of using Hyperform HPR-803 include:

- Replacing high loadings of heavy mineral fillers, such as talc, with lower loadings for comparable performance. This can reduce the weight of polyolefin parts by up to 15 percent.
- Offering improved stiffness vs. talc and other minerals at higher loadings.
- Providing high heat deflection temperatures (HDT) exceeding high levels of talc.
- Offering an improved surface finish that surpasses chopped glass fiber.

By utilizing Hyperform HPR-803 reinforcement as a replacement for chopped glass fiber, customers can expand applications for PP and other polyolefins beyond current “hidden” structural automotive and appliance parts to encompass highly visible components such as bumpers and door panels. And by replacing talc and other mineral reinforcements with the new Milliken technology, customers can achieve significant lightweighting of parts while maintaining or exceeding existing performance properties.

The new high performance reinforcing agent is available today globally.

Potential Applications for Milliken’s Hyperform® HPR-803 Include Bumpers and Door Panels To help automakers and suppliers achieve greater weight-out, Milliken Chemical, a division of Milliken & Company, is introducing Hyperform® HPR-803 high performance reinforcing agent for polyolefins. New Hyperform HPR-803 reduces weight by up to 15 percent vs. traditional mineral-filled systems while delivering an outstanding balance of stiffness and impact strength. Further, the new Milliken agent offers comparable surface finish to talc-filled compounds that cannot be achieved with chopped glass fiber reinforcement.

Fully automatic Husqvarna mower for large lawns made from Luran S

Fully automatic Husqvarna mower for large lawns made from Luran S

Pixies on the meadow

The new Automower® 260 ACX automatic lawnmower from the Swedish lawn and garden equipment manufacturer Husqvarna makes the tedious job of mowing large lawns a thing of the past. As the largest in the Automower Series of lawnmowers for semi-professional use, the freely programmable machine is able to handle 6,000 square meters and has been developed specifically for the large lawns typically found in recreational areas or on company grounds. To protect the expensive electronics from the effects of wind and weather, the designers at Husqvarna selected Luran® S, the ASA (acrylic ester-styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer) from BASF, for the approximately 80-cm-long, almost square housing. This especially weather-resistant material withstands extreme heat and rain and the surface, here dark grey, retains its high-gloss appearance after years of use.

UV-stable, unpainted and easy-flowing

The first development partnership began in summer 2005 at the production facility in Aycliffe, United Kingdom, as Husqvarna was searching for a very special resin for a smaller mower version: The material needed to be injection moldable, UV-stabile, heat-resistant and exhibit the highest possible mechanical strength. “Originally, the Automower was produced using a standard resin and had to be painted to prevent the color from fading”, said Geoff Nelson, BASF Account Manager for styrenic specialty plastics. “This is no longer necessary with the UV-stable Luran S, which means that the housing can be produced faster and more economically.”

Since the Luran S 757 G grade used exhibits especially good flow characteristics, the large, complex lawnmower housing can be produced in a single step. While the upper part has a high-gloss appearance, the edges were designed intentionally to have a fine, matte texture. “BASF provided convincing technical support during the joint optimization phase", recalls Gary Blenkinsopp, Technical Manager at Husqvarna, Aycliffe.

Greiner Packaging manages its business sustainably and counts on R-PET

Greiner Packaging manages its business sustainably and counts on R-PET

Using recycled PET (in short R-PET) for packaging production reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions

Climate protection is a major topic globally requiring sustainable corporate management. The Austrian packaging producer Greiner Packaging is meeting the challenge of this development with two approaches. Robert Obermayr, Product Group Director K1/K2, explains: “On the one hand, we are continuously optimising energy consumption and the production processes for processing classical plastic materials. On the other hand, we are pushing the use of alternative materials, in particular R-PET.”

The responsible handling of raw materials and resources characterises the sustainable actions taken by Greiner Packaging. Examples include saving energy through production equipment or reducing the weight of new packaging solutions. A particularly environmentally-friendly packaging technology is K3, the plastics-cardboard combination. It saves plastic material and can be separated well in terms of recycling. By using cardboard and recycled cardboard, we speak of renewable raw materials.

R-PET is gaining ground
R-PET is taking an ever increasing role with respect to CO2 emissions and the conservation of non-renewable resources. Greiner Packaging can process R-PET at any existing PS plant at various production locations. Obermayr claims: “Major benefits when using R-PET are the reduction of the sealing temperature and very good peeling properties. Thus, valuable energy can be saved during the production process and CO2 emissions are reduced.” Greiner Packaging has already provided an array of packaging solutions made from R-PET for customers in Great Britain.

Business groups are setting the agenda
Great Britain and the USA in particular give fresh impetus to an increased use of R-PET. Major trading groups are making huge efforts towards climate protection. In doing so, they offer the means for orientation, such as scorecards or carbon footprint labels to manufacturers, suppliers and consumers. These contain information on the CO2 emissions generated during the production of the product concerned. “The less CO2 emitted during the production of the package, the more interesting the final product is,” explains Obermayr and he adds: “Moreover on the market in Great Britain, rubbish collection fees are reduced in proportion to the percentage of recycled R-PET contained.“

The PET bottles become R-PET
R-PET originates from PET bottles, which become part of the so-called “homogeneous material circuit”. They are pressed in bales and then cut up and cleaned in specialised recycling companies. During this procedure flakes are created, which are normally processed further into granulate. The further processing of R-PET includes the reconstruction of the molecular chain.

Corporate Data
Greiner Packaging is one of the leading companies in the European packaging industry. In 2008, the company achieved annual sales of EUR 376 million or 34 per cent of the total Greiner Group sales. Greiner Packaging employs a workforce of 2,935 employees at 21 production sites throughout Europe.
