From thermoforming and film extrusion to recycling and advanced coating processes, vacuum technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing both quality and efficiency in plastics production. Recognized globally for its expertise in this field, Edwards Vacuum is set to showcase a range of innovative solutions at the upcoming K Trade Fair in Düsseldorf (October 8–15, 2025), where visitors can explore these technologies first-hand at Stand I31, Hall 11.
Revolutionizing Plastics Processing with EXDM Degassing Systems
A highlight of Edwards’ presentation will be the EXDM dry-running extruder degassing system, purpose-built for plastics processing and recycling. Powered by the robust EDC dry claw vacuum pump, this modular solution is designed for seamless integration into both new and existing production lines. Offering exceptional reliability, low service needs, and reduced operating costs, the EXDM stands out as a future-ready system for manufacturers aiming to boost efficiency without sacrificing performance.
“From initial consultation to tailored maintenance contracts, we ensure EXDM systems deliver peak performance and cost savings throughout their entire lifecycle,” says Frank Achenbach, Market Sector Manager at Edwards.
EDS Vacuum Pump – Precision for Compounds & Masterbatches
For producers working with diverse materials to create specialized compounds and masterbatches, Edwards will feature the EDS vacuum pump. Utilizing advanced dry screw technology, this system delivers consistent, high-quality output while keeping operational costs low. It can be deployed quickly and configured to meet a wide variety of process requirements, making it a versatile choice for complex production environments.
Polycold® MaxCool Cryocooler – Maximizing Throughput in Degassing
Edwards will also present the Polycold® MaxCool cryocooler, a high-performance solution capable of capturing up to 95% of residual water vapor in high vacuum systems. This innovation not only enhances separation quality but can also boost throughput by 20–100%, offering cooling capabilities from -98°C to -145°C and pumping speeds of up to 400,000 l/sec. By tackling one of the most reactive contaminants in plastics processing water vapor MaxCool significantly improves system efficiency.
Driving Innovation in Plastics Production
From cutting-edge degassing systems to advanced cryogenic cooling, Edwards Vacuum’s K 2025 showcase underscores its commitment to delivering smarter, more sustainable, and highly efficient vacuum solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the plastics industry.
