WITTMANN at the Fakuma 2017: innovations all round!
01.09.2017
This year, the WITTMANN Group is again taking the opportunity to present its most recent product developments in a great variety of different areas at the Fakuma in Friedrichshafen. The company will showcase its latest innovations in automation and peripherals from 17 to 21 October at its booth No. 1204 in hall B1.
MATERIALS HANDLING I: more comfortable operation of gravimetric blenders
The GRAVIMAX from WITTMANN stands out by its precise, reliable material metering as well as homogeneous blending of the material. It comes with an easy-to-operate touch control, and its ingenious structure is designed to facilitate easy cleaning. At the FAKUMA 2017, WITTMANN will show the appliance, which has been further improved for even easier access, to a broader public.
In recent years WITTMANN has been highly successful with the material hoppers of its GRAVIMAX blenders. Due to their sophisticated design, the hoppers are very easy to remove. The newly introduced designation SL, “Stationary Lid” stands for a lid firmly fastened to the blender, to which the material loaders can be attached. The hoppers can now be detached without having to remove the material loaders. Ease and comfort in working with the production equipment considerably enhances the satisfaction of operating staff and thus ultimately increases productivity.
Push the hopper upwards, unscrew it and take it off; all material loaders remain in place
This innovation has become extremely popular within a short time especially for appliances with small throughput rates of up to 80 kg/h and for frequent change of materials. More expensive alternatives – such as using pneumatic cylinders to lift the lid – have already been superseded by this new design.
