Every 3 years the world largest plastic exhibition takes place in Düsseldorf, Germany. From more than 100 countries 242.000 trade visitors (12.000 more than 2004) visited the show.

SCHILLING-KNOBEL (EPS), TECHNOPARTNER SAMTRONIC (TPS) and the Thermofix^® Technology Center (TTC) have been participating the show once again on the Messrs. PALLMANN stand in Hall 9 / A 22.

EPS/TPS/TTC and PALLMANN showed the actual generation of the pLine^® to produce Wood-Plastic-Composites or better to say HighTec Woods up to a width of 2,2 m and a thickness from ~1 - 10 mm boards (pBoard^®) which has been again an innovative highlight of the "K".

PALLWOOD^® granules produced of wood flour and plastic material by PALLMANN’S PALLTRUDER^® is the basis for the manufacturing for pBoard^®.

EPS/TPS presented during the "K" the newly opened Thermofix^® Technology Center (TTC) located nearby its headquarters and manufacturing site in the Stuttgart area.

A complete Thermofix^® (pLine^®) production range has been installed for running tests of all kind of material + products in sheet or roll, to do R&D and process development work as well as pilot production, even small production capacity is available.

The installation with a length of nearly 45 meters can produce products with a net width of 1.3m. Several unwinding stations as well as scattering machines installed on the extended bottom belt guarantees a wide range of flexibility in "engineering" new products.

Another highlight on the PALLMANN booth was the presentation of the "FOUR PARTNERS":

AMORIM, WACKER, PALLMANN, EPS/TPS/TTC

The CPC Compound (Cork with Polymer from Wacker) produced with the Palltruder^® was processed on the pFix^® to a continuous sheet with thicknesses from 2 - 12 mm. The CPC can be used in many different industries (automotive, flooring, furniture…) with outstanding properties (water-resistant, heat-insulating…)

The "K" approved its unique position to be the most important plastic show in the world, therefore see you again at "K 2010" from 27th of October - 3rd of November.
