New Recycling Units Promise Enhanced IV and Deodorisation at K 2025

New Recycling Units Promise Enhanced IV and Deodorisation at K 2025

At the K 2025, MEAF Machines will launch two new machine series based on its new, patented Xtender technology. The MDX-IV, a prototype of which will be on display at the MEAF stand in Hall 17, is designed to increase the intrinsic viscosity (IV) and decontaminate rPET material. The machine is specifically tailored for the use of recycled PET material in the packaging, recycling and film & sheet production sectors.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets specific targets for recycled content in packaging, with a minimum of 30% recycled content for PET packaging, and 10% for other contact- sensitive packaging by 2030. MEAF’s MDX-IV can up-cycle material with a lower IV to better quality, higher IV material, offering producers more flexibility when it comes to using different streams of regrind material. That way they can remain competitive in a market where the raw material prices of virgin material are now lower than those of regrind, due to cheaper raw material supplies from the Middle East and the Far East.

Also to be introduced at K is the MDX-DEO, which stands for decontamination and deodorisation. This machine is designed for processing and upcycling other recycled and post-consumer thermoplastics, including PP, PE and PS. In addition to the packaging, recycling and film & sheet markets, the MDX-DEO is aimed at the production of carpet-backing and automotive interior components. In these markets the use of recycled materials is still quite limited, due to the stringent requirements when it comes to odours and volatile components. However, the potential use of the MDX-DEO extends to recycling in general, as deodorising and upcycling allows for more flexible use of different regrind qualities and material streams.

‘With our revolutionary new MDX-series we give polymer processors more options to reduce their dependence on virgin materials and adhere to the EU packaging directive, while simultaneously reducing their CO2-footprint,’ says Roald de Bruijne, Sales Manager at MEAF Machines. ‘Importantly, this can be achieved without compromising on the quality of their products or a large increase in their energy consumption. At MEAF we pride ourselves for developing the new MDX-IV and MDX-DEO series in line with our core values: high quality, compact machines, with low energy consumption and with a very competitive price tag.’

The MEAF Xtender melt co-processing technology has exceptional mixing and degassing properties, and was developed in collaboration with an Italian partner. The MDX-IV and MDX-DEO machines based on this technology can be (retro)fitted on both single-screw and twin-screw extruders, and will be available to customers globally, starting in Q4 2025.

Cost-Effective Solutions for a Demanding Market

Cost-Effective Solutions for a Demanding Market

At K 2025, ENGEL is presenting an integrated, fully automated production solution for the diagnostics market. The system achieves an increase in overall efficiency of approximately 25 % compared to conventional production methods. In a single cell, well plates and lids are produced and packaged in a validated manner. At the heart of the solution is an all-electric ENGEL e-motion 280 WP combi MW injection moulding machine with 2800 kN clamping force.

Maximum precision for diagnostics: Well plates with lids, manufactured to meet the highest standards in quality, dimensional accuracy, cleanliness and cost efficiency.

Two machines in one – in just 11 seconds

ENGEL’s compact system concept combines with the innovative high-performance Variotwinstack mould technology from HACK Formenbau GmbH to implement the principle of two machines in one. The mould is designed for the simultaneous production of up to four polystyrene well plates with 24 wells and their matching lids. For optimal media connection, the e-motion features a movable centre platen. The two injection units operate in parallel – not sequentially – reducing the cycle time to just 11 seconds. The shot weight for the well plates is 42.6 grams, and 13.2 grams for the lids.

The angled arrangement of the moving injection unit brings the nozzle closer to the hot runner, reducing its volume and thus increasing process reliability. Valve gate hot runner injection without a sprue optimises material usage while completely eliminating weld lines and flow marks. A multi-stage demoulding process with intelligent cooling and optimal part orientation further provides a particularly wide process window. In addition, integrated HACK moldlife sense sensor technology continuously monitors the mould mechanics, increases system availability and detects faults at an early stage. This system also supplies data to support digitally assisted process validation.

Premiere for shortened validation times

ENGEL is premiering its new validation assistant in this cell – a system for digitally assisted qualification and validation of injection moulding processes. Developed in collaboration with HACK Formenbau and Professor Thomas Seul, the solution combines ENGEL’s iQ assistance systems, moldlife sense technology and structured software modules. It supports all validation phases from DQ to PQ, accommodates future release methods such as parametric release, and simplifies the transfer of validated processes to additional machines or sites. As a result, both time and staffing requirements for validation are significantly reduced, leading to a much shorter time to market.

Compact, precise and cleanroom-ready – with cost savings

One of the key advantages of this production solution lies in its reduced system height, made possible by the newly designed layout. The overall footprint of the production cell is reduced by 40 percent – a significant cost-saving factor in cleanroom environments, where floor space comes at a premium.

ENGEL’s e-motion series has been specifically developed to meet the most demanding requirements in injection moulding for medical technology and sets new standards in precision, efficiency and long-term cleanroom performance.

Automated post-processing and quality assurance

After demoulding, a side-entry robot from Ilsemann removes the moulded parts. Two arms simultaneously grip the parts from both sides of the mould and transfer them either to a sampling station or to a laser marking station where a QR code is applied. The parts are then automatically assembled, stacked and sealed in sterile packaging.

An Executive Interview on the road to K 2025 with Dr. Torsten Schmitz (Managing Director, Extrusion Business Unit) and Mr. Hermann Veismann (Managing Director, Printing and Finishing Business Unit) at Windmöller & Hölscher

“Good solutions require bringing together every player within the value chain”

An Executive Interview on the road to K 2025 with Dr. Torsten Schmitz (Managing Director, Extrusion Business Unit) and Mr. Hermann Veismann (Managing Director, Printing and Finishing Business Unit) at Windmöller & Hölscher

Why will W&H be represented at the next K with both its extrusion division and printing division?

Hermann Veismann: Many of our customers are active in both fields; that is why we have decided to showcase our capabilities in both areas for the first time. The range of products and services in both the printing and extrusion sectors is certainly a unique selling point for W&H.
Dr. Torsten Schmitz: Our customers are facing radical change: multiple demands, including more mono-material packaging, and the processing of new raw materials, are forcing them to look at the entire global value chain. At every step of the process, it is necessary to consider what any subsequent step entails, which is simply driving the pace of change. We are noticing that our holistic focus on the overall application is very well received. This has always been a key factor at our in-house Expo exhibition, and we are now looking to make this even more visible in Düsseldorf.

Why is everything now happening at a faster rate?

Dr. Schmitz: The new EU Packaging Regulation PPWR is certainly an accelerator, but there are other constraints as well, such as the replacement of PFAS substances for example. In the end, you have to convert your entire raw material base and use different additives. In addition, there are supply chain issues – all changes that are coming at a very fast pace. This, in combination with very strong cost pressures, is forcing our customers to question their current methods of operation and driving forward innovation.
Veismann: This is also true for the printing sector. These new material compositions go hand in hand with new material properties, which we have to master. This highlights how important a cross-discipline approach is. The developments resulting from the shift towards greater sustainability make this absolutely essential.

The motto of K is confident: Green – Smart – Responsible. Do you feel this is appropriate?

Dr. Schmitz: The keywords Green, Smart, Responsible are certainly appropriate. They exude a sense of confidence, and confidence is an important sign for any business. However, we must all jump on board. Our daily contact with our customers shows that everyone is facing major challenges: in product development, in product development cycles, in investments. Our job is to cooperate with our customers to find a solution for them; something we are good at, as we know all the players involved.

What are the specific challenges?

Dr. Schmitz: Everyone is facing their own individual problems. Many are wondering, for example, what the future holds for PCR, how much PCR content they will need, how recyclable it is, and what requirements they need to consider in terms of export markets. Many of the framework conditions are still unclear, which is causing a great deal of uncertainty among our customers. We want to advise them in this environment with an open mind towards technology, so that they will still have a competitive edge in five years’ time and, if possible, grow faster than the market. Once again, the key here is cooperation between the different divisions.
Veismann: Modularity is very important to our customers looking ahead, with the keyword here being retrofit capability. If a machine is optimally designed for a particular material, we are already considering how we can adjust, retrofit or convert it at little cost to meet future requirements. Customers invest a lot of money in a machine and are naturally concerned if they and their suppliers have uncertainties concerning where things are heading.

Dr. Torsten Schmitz; Windmöller & Hölscher SE & Co. KG

Are there any materials that pose a challenge for your machines?

Dr. Schmitz: Basically, our machines can process all materials. It is important to advise our customers. We need to understand what their needs are and where they want to go. When it comes to MDO, for example, we have customers who are already in 24/7 production. But what won’t work is trying to cover a very broad product portfolio with a single machine; you can’t run PCR today and MDO-PE tomorrow. It’s about producing sensibly and economically on one machine and selecting the right one.

How does the density of regulations in the EU compare to other markets?

Veismann: In the growth markets in Asia, i.e. in India and China, we find different regulations that are being adapted at different speeds. But the regulatory density in the EU is particularly high. This applies both to the requirements for commercial enterprises themselves and to the requirements for the packaging market. Just think of the sustainability reporting obligations or the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, which are all accompanied by considerable costs for European companies; costs that are naturally passed on to customers and therefore render a competitive disadvantage.
Dr Schmitz: The rules in the EU are all well-intentioned. When it comes to sustainable packaging in particular, everyone is looking to Europe for guidance on mono-material composites and the overall life cycle of packaging. This pioneering position is appropriate for Europe, but there are also requirements that are completely unrealistic. Why, for example, should food packaging be required to be turned into food packaging again?

The European Green Deal seems to have taken a back seat in favour of a more business-oriented mindset.

Veismann: There is hope that there will be a shift in political priorities. Despite all the good intentions behind the regulations, the speed, consistency and leap we are taking in Europe are a threat to our location, and that naturally concerns us. I am convinced that it will not help anyone if we take Europe out of the game because it becomes uneconomical.

What do you expect from the K?

Dr. Schmitz: For me, the K is like a family reunion, an opportunity to exchange ideas and provide guidance. These personal meetings are very valuable, and everyone takes away new ideas – not just our customers, but we also benefit greatly.
Veismann: Visitors to the trade fair are driven by opportunity. We want to convey enthusiasm for the machines and the opportunities they offer. We try to convey a vision. We define ourselves less by machine sales and more by the partnerships and the added value they offer.

An Executive Interview on the road to K 2025 with Dr Stefan Engleder, CEO ENGEL Group, It is still important for humans to operate machines

Mr. Engleder, how important is innovation in difficult economic times?

Dr Stefan Engleder: Innovation is extremely important – especially in the current climate – for our customers as well as for ENGEL. Our customers need innovative solutions to launch new plastic products in a competitive and sustainable manner, and at ENGEL, we are also investing specifically in innovation to support our customers in becoming and remaining leaders in their field. That is why, despite this crisis, which has been ongoing for the past three years, we are investing in research and development in the areas of products, processes and digitalisation, as not innovating would mean standing still, and that ultimately means taking a step backwards.

How do you achieve this?

Engleder: The advantage of injection moulding is its enormous versatility – from micro-applications to large-volume applications. We develop new or alternative ways of manufacturing plastic products efficiently, cost-effectively, and reliably, in close cooperation with our customers – in some cases even in moulds that have never existed before. At the same time, we are making long-term investments in research and development, in basic research, digitalisation and our assistance systems. Development cycles of four to five years are not uncommon. It often takes six, seven or eight years before marketable innovations emerge and we start earning money with them. This kind of staying power is necessary to create sustainable solutions that are also economically viable.

What role does AI play in your innovation efforts?

Engleder: Using the iQ process observer – the latest addition to our iQ assistance series – we support customers by means of artificial intelligence to improve process stability in injection moulding. The iQ process observer monitors the production process and provides suggestions on how to adjust the machine. The control system analyses a wide range of process parameters and uses this information to forecast how the production process will develop under the current conditions. As soon as critical deviations become apparent, the machine operator receives feedback via a traffic light system. In addition, the system also makes specific propositions for optimising the machine settings. The next step would, of course, be for the machine to adjust itself. However, we believe that it is still important for a human to operate the machine.

Does AI help alleviate your customers’ skills or even labour shortages?

Engleder: Through utilising suggestions made by the assistance system, a new machine operator does not need to be a process engineer, but basically follows clearly structured instructions, similar to a checklist provided by the machine control system. In fact, it can be an unskilled worker, not necessarily a skilled worker. We have identified the shortage of skilled workers as a key issue at ENGEL because this topic is also actively reflected back to us by our customers. We therefore also offer straightforward set-up assistants, such as tool change assistants; that helps the machine control system to guide the operator through the process step by step. This means that the training phase no longer takes several months, but can be completed in one to two days. Thirdly, we also offer remote access options. Experts, whether from the customer or from ENGEL, can connect remotely via our e-connect portal and support the machine operator, for example with maintenance, optimisation or service. This renders savings in terms of skilled workers, and, above all, time. However, it does not help with the general labour shortage – machine operation will still be necessary.

So unmanned machines are still a thing of the future?

Engleder: No, I wouldn’t say so. We are already relatively close, due to our expert system. I would compare it to autonomous driving in cars: they are already on the roads, not necessarily on every continent and in every city, but the technology is actually relatively mature. However, it is not enough to just develop the technology and create the conditions: you also need a wellthought-out overall concept and, above all, customer acceptance. And that raises the question of whether a completely unmanned machine is even necessary – and whether our customers actually want it in this form.

At K 2025, we will be presenting an industrial solution for a self-regulating injection moulding cell for the first time. Supported by artificial intelligence, the machine is capable of autonomous production, and can optimise quality and processes independently. This is a significant milestone on the road to further digitalisation in injection moulding. Technologically, we are therefore very far ahead. At the same time, one thing remains clear to us: responsibility still lies with humans, as even the best assistance ultimately requires a conscious decision by the user.

What trends do you currently see within mechanical engineering?

Engleder: Electrification and energy efficiency are still continuing trends. This is currently a concern for almost everyone, because on the one hand energy consumption is a clear cost factor, and on the other hand, energy is not available without restrictions in many places. We will also be presenting new solutions in this area at K. We have already discussed the second major topic: artificial intelligence; in particular the further development of our assistance and digital systems, plus we are continuing to see a trend towards sustainability. Even though the discussion is currently somewhat less prominent due to postponed deadlines at EU level, the industry is nevertheless consistently preparing for it. After all, regardless of regulatory requirements, we have no choice but continue to promote the circular economy. The motto of K is “The Power of Plastics! Green – Smart – Responsible.” The fact that “green” is explicitly included underlines the importance of this topic.

How do you see the role of K?

Engleder: K 2025 will certainly point the way ahead. It is the leading trade fair for the plastics industry, with a clear European focus due to its location. K may no longer be the largest trade fair in terms of visitor numbers, but it has always been and still is the trade fair for innovation and visionary ideas. I expect it once again to show where plastics processing is heading – technologically, strategically, and in dialogue with industry. We at ENGEL are looking forward to K 2025 with great anticipation and are preparing extensively for the event. It is not just about presenting new products, but also about communicating our visions to a broad specialist audience – and receiving feedback on whether these are shared. We develop a lot in close contact with our customers, but it is just as important to make these developments visible. K is the perfect venue for this; it’s the only event where you can encounter such an interested and knowledgeable audience.

Exploring new fields and incremental markets is as crucial as breaking free from intensive competition. CHINAPLAS 2026 will center on multiple emerging sectors with rapid development – low-altitude economy, in particular new-generation aircraft represented by eVTOLs, is poised to become a trillion-dollar industry with immense growth potential. Shanghai, at the forefront of China’s economy, is striving toward the goal of becoming the capital of low-altitude economy with plans to achieve an industry scale of over RMB 50 billion by 2027. Currently, China’s robotics industry has established itself in the leading position among the global leaders. According to Goldman Sachs’ forecasts, the global market size for humanoid robots is expected to reach USD 38 billion by 2035. Over the next decade, this will become another trillion-dollar sector following the new energy vehicle industry. Meanwhile, explosion of the “Guzi” economy (derived from homonym for the English word “goods”, it refers to the economic activities centered around spin-off products of ACGN – animation/ comics/ games/ novels) in China has fostered evolution of the art toy industry. Data from media Research indicates that in 2024 China’s pan-ACGN users has surged to 503 million, and the market scale is expected to expand from RMB 597.7 billion in 2024 to RMB 834.4 billion by 2029. Additionally, rapid advancements in human spaceflight, large aircraft, high-speed rail, smart driving, high-end medical technology, e-commerce, and food delivery packaging have led to higher demands on plastic raw materials and forming processes, while also creating significant business opportunities.

Green Technology and Intelligent Solutions Reshape Future of Plastics and Rubber Industries

Green technology and intelligent solutions have become the main themes of plastics and rubber industries’ development, with green and low-carbon initiatives driving transformation, and intelligent and efficient technologies shaping the future. To align with the trend of circular economy and meet industry demands, CHINAPLAS 2026 has established 3 related theme zones: Recycled Plastics Zone, Bioplastics Zone and Recycling Tech Zone, showcasing advanced green and low-carbon technologies. In the Chemicals & Raw Materials Zone, well-known exhibitors will introduce innovative sustainable solutions. With smart manufacturing being the future trend for plastics and rubber industries, the combination of digital production and artificial intelligence (AI) will further accelerate the industries’ upgrade and transformation, as well as trace the path of plastics at different stages of the circular economy, achieving a comprehensive closed-loop ecosystem. Besides, AI can assist enterprises to achieve dual improvements in production efficiency and precision through process innovation, and maintain a competitive edge in the progressively digitalized development landscape. CHINAPLAS 2026 is committed to promoting the high-end, green, and intelligent development of the plastics and rubber industries, reshaping their future.

Fully Tapping into International Markets, with Global Business Opportunities within Reach

CHINAPLAS has deeply rooted itself in China’s plastics and rubber market, serving as an outlet for development opportunities not only in Asia, but also the world.
