This year’s Processing Innovation session highlights advances
in processing equipment, beginning with low pressure mixing
technology for multiple additives and fillers, the capability to add liquid
and gaseous blowing agents in an online process, and vacuumassisted
injection technology. After the break, we will hear about a
versatile machine concept for processing different types of dense and
cellular PU Elastomers that is both flexible and efficient, and we will
conclude with a paper about metering equipment which is capable
of processing a wide variety of chemicals at ambient and elevated
temperatures, as well as chemical and solid additives.
