Moisture Meter is an instrument designed to measure, in line, the residual moisture content of the plastic granule. Moisture Meter, installed directly on the processing machine, thanks to the patented “Power Peak” technology measures the actual moisture content of the plastic granules assuring a certified production. No calibration is required. It is only necessary to select the polymer to be treated and Moisture Meter provides to control the process with sampling every 2 seconds.
Moisture Meter Plus allows to control the dryer performance by comparing the humidity from the initial part of the process to the end, automatically adjusting the dryer parameters to ensure optimal drying.
This concept creates a closed loop connecting material, dryer, process quality, and plastic processing machine, which represents the condition to move straight ahead towards Industry 4.0.

GRAMIXO is the newest continuous batch dosing system equipped with the extruder loss in weight feeding control. GRAMIXO is able to manage the extruder to ensure a constant weight per meter ratio and it is equipped with a powerful control with a super easy interface.
The machine has three opening sides, featuring three transparent panels that provide unique visibility to the dosing process. The internal parts of the machine are illuminated with multicolour LED lighting with four different colours to signal the machine operating status.
A quick hoppers emptying system avoids any downtime during production changeovers. The total emptying is also guaranteed by the removable mixing chamber without using any tool. The mixer is inclined ensuring a perfect mixture and avoiding any stagnations. Absolute accuracy thanks to the unique double eyelid system, the free weighing hopper and the immunity vibration system.

X-COMB is the Moretto’s compact mini-dryer specifically engineered for medical application and technical polymer treatment, which increase the range of drying systems solutions, the company core business.
This dryer features Moretto’s patented OTX drying hopper technology, high performance turbo-compressors, and a Dew Point equalizer. The dryer can be installed directly on the machine feed throat thanks to the strong construction.
The high performance dryer combined with the innovative OTX hopper technology provides extraordinary energy efficiency. It features an intuitive touch screen control and allows for a simple, two-step parameters setting, material type and throughput, while all the other parameters are set automatically.
All the products come equipped with USB, Ethernet and RS485 Modbus communication ports and are compatible with the Moretto MOWIS supervising system.
Moretto’s team members are available at the show to meet customers and explain them how the company’s engineered solutions are allowing customers in more than 60 countries to realize significant energy consumption savings and system optimization for all their resin automation and process requirements.
