Cannon announced that it will highlight its latest processing technologies for the industrial production of polyurethanes, composites and thermoformed products at Fakuma 2018, including:

Saip Equipment announced that it will participate in PU China 2018, an annual event for the Chinese polyurethane market, which will take place from 1 – 3 August 2018 at the World Expo Exhibition and Convention Centre in Shanghai, China.

Wanner International will be exhibiting its range of Hydra-Cell hydraulically balanced, seal-less diaphragm pumps, specifically developed to meet the needs of polyurethane production, at Utech Europe. The company added to its range of pumps for polyurethane manufacturing the Hydra-Cell metering solutions MT8 seal-less triplex metering pump that is designed to accommodate low flow rates from 0.227 to 30.280 l/h and pressures up to 241 bar while exceeding API 675 performance standards. Its multiple diaphragm design provides virtually pulse-free flow without the need for pulsation dampeners.

Rampf Production Systems and its partner for the Asian markets, Orient-Rampf Dosiertechnik (Souzhou) Co., Ltd., are exhibiting their mixing and dispensing systems for sealing, casting, and bonding single-, dual-, and multi-component reactive plastic systems at Chinaplas 2018 (hall 2H, stand 2J71) from 24 – 27 April 2018 in Shanghai, China.

BASF and the Hyundai Motor Company will present the outstanding features of the new, jointly developed concept vehicle RN30 at the K 2016.
