“We see the injection molding market in Germany and Central Europe becoming increasingly focused on measurable operational performance. Processors are looking for solutions that can improve energy efficiency, production consistency, material quality, and traceability while integrating effectively with their existing operations,” said Paolo Nicosia, Managing Director Business Unit Polymers – Sales at PiovanGroup. “Fakuma gives us the opportunity to discuss these priorities directly with customers and demonstrate how our latest technologies can address them across the entire production process.”
Key Fakuma Innovations for Greater Efficiency, Quality, and Process Control
The new E-Dryer is a compact, desiccant-wheel dehumidifier designed for small production batches. Its integrated hopper configuration minimizes the unit's footprint. It provides a stable dew point of up to −40°C and does not require compressed air or a cooling water connection, simplifying installation and maintenance.
Designed for central conveying systems operating under permanent vacuum, the new Multilink automatic coupling station supports configurations with up to 27 inlets and 20 simultaneous outlets. Its modular design allows the system to be expanded as production requirements evolve. By automating source-to-destination connections, Multilink enables reliable changeovers without manual intervention.
For the production of plastic medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging, Quantum Med combines high-precision gravimetric blending with a design optimized for cleanability and rapid material changeovers, while supporting compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. Easily removable components, stainless steel contact surfaces, and integration with Piovan’s Winfactory 4.0 process supervision software support error-proof setup and batch traceability.
The Accuchiller NQ Series is Thermal Care’s new generation of portable and packaged industrial chillers, integrating a compact footprint, low-GWP refrigerants, PLC-based control, high-performance scroll compressors, and compact microchannel condensers into a single system.
