flowing and non-sticky materials such as masterbatch, regrind materials, virgin materials and PVC dry blends. The fields of application cover all extrusion, blow moulding and injection-moulding manufacturing processes. At the core of the system are robust dosing units, available in four sizes with capacities ranging from 70g/h to 3,500kg/h. Depending on the requirements, all components can be used individually or as a complete solution. With the modular principle, a quick and easy configuration of individual dosing systems, colour change systems and volumetric or gravimetric mixing stations is possible. In addition to supplying system com- ponents, Woywod offers a service portfolio that ranges from consulting, planninganddesign, throughproduction, As part of the deal, and in support of RAPP’s transition into Industry 4.0, JJLI is supplying customised instrumentation cables produced in its local facility in Tangerang, west of Jakarta, which was established in 2010 as JJ-Lapp’s first manufacturing site in Southeast Asia. The cables being supplied to RAPP have multiple conductors for monitoring and controlling electrical systems and their processes, including information retrieval for monitoring and control purposes. They are flexible, flame retardant, UV re sistant and durable, ensuring smooth op erations with less-frequent maintenance. As a one-stop solutions provider, JJLI will also supply complementary acces sories and solutions for improved cable management, including Skintop ® cable At wire South America and Tubotech, in the São Paulo Expo Exhibition & Convention Center in Brazil, Wafios will present machines from the compression spring and tube-bending programme.
