Principe Evo guarantees an efficient and costeffective process
Italian technology plast / August / September 2023
In short , underlines Prinzo , the fish to fry is so much ... “ A fundamental step for us as a very young company , is the international expansion of our operations . At the moment , we have a second machine installed in the Czech Republic , then we are evaluating requests from Poland and looking at Spain at the same time . In short , we want to expand through a strong network of agents , starting from neighbouring countries . The important thing is to become able to cover international markets through advertising campaigns and local sales networks while continuing to develop the Italian market directly . The fairs we have on our agenda will provide excellent opportunities to build our international network : after Equiplast in Barcelona we will be attending Plast in Milan , where perhaps we will be able to unveil the 2.0 version of Principe Evo with updated software .”
THREE SIZES FOR ALL APPLICATIONS The complete Principe Evo range includes three sizes in the catalogue : the 160 , 230 and 300 : “ They cover all applications ” assures Prinzo “ even the extreme ones : Principe Evo 230 , the most popular size , is suited to very high throughputs , but in the case of still heavier workloads we recommend the 300 version to be on the safe side , though there are few customers who need such a large capacity . The result is that all production bottlenecks
are eliminated and the extruder can run smoothly maintaining flow homogeneity during the filtration step . Contrary to what may happen with other screen changers available on the market , there are no stagnation points when changing colour , nor degradation of the material since there is no piston accumulating it . These features are among our greatest strengths , to which the functions of the two patented devices ( EvoBlock and EvoPulling , installed as standard ) must be added : they ensure that the machine does not suffer losses when running in continuous flow mode , and they are integrated in the screen belt clamping and pulling systems , respectively . Compared to other similar systems available from competitors , EvoBlock seals are durable and clamp the screen belt optimally . Similarly , EvoPulling is able to pull the screen belt without creating problems . And the customer can see these benefits first-hand .” With regard to applications , CM Evolution Plast ’ s customers are mostly regenerating companies that process heavily contaminated materials : “ In this segment we have fewer competitors because we guarantee quick screen change with limited loss of material , especially thanks to the implementation of the software allowing the screen change without the need for increasing the pressure , which in several cases also means using less screen material . Our customers also include compounders that
- although generally processing cleaner material - choose Principe Evo because the continuous flow technology and the complete automation and reliability of the process always count whatever the degree of contamination , as well as above all the possibility of obtaining output material of very high quality . We are convinced that using screens in the form of a continuous belt instead of cut-to-size ones ensures first of all the absolute cleanliness of the screen itself , since when it is changed the new surface is already clean without having to use a scraper . In addition , the entire screen surface is used . The whole process is therefore more efficient and the possibility of using less screen material makes it possible to cut the costs that are associated with the only consumable material present on the Principe Evo , which has an impact however .” In short , the development projects launched by CM Evolution Plast involve both the product , the personnel and the structures . Prinzo rounds off the concept : “ We have purchased sheds for accommodating the machining department and then we will also enlarge the assembly operations , separating it from the machining workshop . Lastly , in collaboration with other manufacturers , we will set up a new test room , an important driver for our business . And I believe that all the investments mentioned above will translate into concrete achievements within a year .”
