Ingrinder: Wittmann Battenfeld’s combination of equipment, from sprue picker to granulator, can be used alongside a range of the company’s injection molding machines, including the SmartPower with up to about 100 tons of clamping force and the EcoPower with up to about 121 tons of clamping force.
What’s new? This special arrangement of equipment, including a sprue picker, vacuum conveyor, dosing switch, HiQ Flow viscosity compensation and granulator — the red piece of equipment shown in the picture. The granulator is integrated into Wittmann Battenfeld’s Unilog B8 control unit.
Benefits: The compact design of the system, and the ease of use of its controller. The granulator has been specially adapted to the frame of the select presses that can be married to the Ingrinder, and the sprue picker was specially chosen based on its height. Also, this particular arrangement can compensate for different flow properties in the process.
