SIMPLE SOLUTIONS
EASILY REALISED, COMBINED AND INTEGRATED
Simple solutions comprise a range of equipment for optimising and automating plastics processing machinery production. All units can be
combined or expanded in order to satisfy increasing and changing requirements. They help the plastics processor to equip their individual
machines or production cells. In the case of injection moulding, extrusion or blow moulding machines, cost savings can be easily achieved
with minimum outlay.
Individual applications and problems are rapidly solved and may be the first steps towards a later system solution. The simple solutions
range correspond to motan’s high quality standards in spite of lower prices and are available through motan’s world-wide sales and service
network. All units may of course be integrated into system solutions.

COMPACT DRY AIR DRYERS
LUXOR
Technical plastics are hygroscopic. They absorb humidity from
ambient air which influences the melt in a negative way and
massively affects product quality. Thanks to consistant pre-drying to
a defined residual moisture with a motan LUXOR dry air dryer,
production risks may be eliminated and high quality assurance is
achieved. No rejects due to humidity.
Reliability
Plastics processors in every corner of the world rely on motan’s
robust, efficient design to provide them with unrivaled reliability. The
use of commercially available microprocessor controls and readily
available system components, ensure that motan products are the
most reliable.

ecoPROTECT
If some materials are dried for too long or with temperatures which
are too high, they can be thermally damaged.
With the ecoPROTECT function, these problems are automatically
avoided. It is a standard function and adapts the drying temperature
automatically to the amount of material being dried. This guarantees

DRYING BINS
Drying bins
Drying bins are fully insulated with individual heaters and tempera-
ture setting controls. The cylindrical shape ensures uniform drying.
Bins are available in a range of volume sizes, from 15 to 600 litres.
Larger bins have an inspection door for ease of access and all are
fitted with a sight glass. Bins can be machine mounted up to 60
litres size, or floor mounted on mobile frames. A flange for mounting
a motan hopper loader is provided on all bins.
Modularity
All units, dryers and bins are mounted on castors for ease of
movement. The combination and quantity of bins installed to each
dryer can be adapted at a later stage as operational requirements
change. A small footprint means that LUXOR dryers and bins occupy
minimal space on the factory floor.
YOUR BENEFITS
