Bensheim, 17 July 2019. K 2019 is where ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH will be presenting the SOMOS RDF modular resin drying system for flexible stationary use without a central dry air generator. The system consists of autonomously operating units with their own Industry 4.0-capable controllers. Depending on requirements and desired throughput, the individual modules can be combined into a variable overall system with central visualization and control.

Bensheim, 8 March 2018. At this year's Chinaplas in Shanghai, ProTec will be presenting pultrusion lines for economically producing high-quality long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFT). These lines are capable of fully automatically processing numerous materials and have aroused considerable interest in China and right across Asia.

Bensheim, 10 October 2017. ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH is currently developing a peripheral system which enables straightforward integration of a novel physical polymer foaming process into existing injection molding lines. The innovative process, recently presented by Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid and Linde AG, involves loading dried pellets with CO₂ in a pressure vessel and then feeding them to the injection molding machine.

Bensheim, March 2017 – ProTec Polymer Processing will launch five-strand laboratory LFT lines for developing high quality long-fibre-reinforced thermoplastics by pultrusion at this year's Chinaplas from 16 to 19 May 2017 in Guangzhou. These Industry 4.0 capable lines with complete materials handling capabilities are equipped with the new user-friendly SOMOS® control/excellence controller. Such laboratory lines allow LFT compound manufacturers to be more responsive by permitting on-site development, testing and reliable scaling up of their formulations, so minimising downtime.

Bensheim and Düsseldorf, 19 October 2016 – ProTec Polymer Processing, the international system supplier to the plastics industry, will premiere the SOMOS^® Batchmix XL batch dosing unit for flowable multi-component mixtures at K 2016. This new, high quality and user friendly unit extends the Batchmix series to high throughputs of up to 1,900 kg/h, offering high dosing accuracy at an attractive price/performance ratio. The other models in the series are the Batchmix M for throughputs of up to 240 kg/h and the Batchmix L for up to 1,100 kg/h. These gravimetric Batchmix dosing units are suitable for supplying multi-component mixtures to both injection moulding machines and extruders. All three models are capable of handling up to six flowable components (and can also be retrofitted with expansion modules) and can be equipped with SOMOS^® vacuum conveyors for automatically filling material storage bins.
