Moretto S.p.A. is a young company which has gained a top position among the market leaders in the production of automation systems for the plastic processing industry, during its 30 years in business. With six subsidiaries worldwide and a strategic network of expert distributors in 52 countries, they offer a range of highly customized solutions for an increasingly expanding market. Innovation and attention to customer requirements are the principal criteria that drive and motivate a team of more than 200 employees, who are invited in supporting and using technology that is strongly focused on the future.

Feeding The hopper loaders have been specially designed for the transport of plastic granules by vacuum. Entirely made of stainless steel, they are equipped with a large and highly visible signaling lamp and a solid, sturdy die-cast aluminium fixing flange. They come with fabric filters and automatic cleaning as standard
Hot Air Drying The Hot Air Dryers have been specially designed to treat non-hygroscopic thermoplastic granules. Temperature is electronically controlled by pulse train with a solid state relay. The VIEWER system ensures easy control and a special on-hopper configuration makes them very compact machines.
Dehumidification An innovative, unique and exclusive flexible dehumidifying system for engineering plastics. Innovation because it is not the dryer that dehumidifies the polymers, but the polymers that give the dryer all the inputs for dehumidification. Unique because the system Is not based on the traditional material/temperature relationship, but requires only parameters to be sent: type of material to be treated and hourly material throughput.
PET Crystallizer New Crystallizer realized to guarantee the maximum reliability in the crystallizing process, sturdiness, easy maintenance and parts inspection. Equipped with PLC control, touch-screen panel and innovative opening system of the hopper. The Crystallizer is equipped with powder remover as standard in the exhaust air circuit and it complies with the last regulations of the CE directives.
Grinding Low-speed granulator suitable for grinding technical materials It is able to process sprues or moulded parts, due to the use of an auto-reverse device, allowing the machine to be freed in the event of jamming. Due to the rotation speeds, noise has been reduced to a very low level and the resultant regrind is regular and free of powder and dust. Wear is also dramatically reduced.
Microdosing Microdosing is available in a mono-component version, specifically designed for dosing master batch to natural virgin plastic materials, as well as in versions for dosing three and up to four additive components. It can be installed on the machines as a normal dosing unit and it adapts perfectly well to plastics processing machines. The hoppers are made entirely of stainless steel.
Volumetric Dosing Systems Volumetric dosing units are the result of meticulous design work: maximum attention has been paid to ease of use and reliability. The control unit is based on a microprocessor, which makes programming very flexible, and a motorised screw controlled by inverter, thus ensuring high performance. An important feature of this equipment is the ability to directly set the dosing percentage.
Liquid Dosing LIQUIDOSER dosing units have been designed specifically for dosing liquid pigments and they can be equipped with three different types of flexible elastic hoses, depending on the capacity required. It is possible to achieve very fine coloration at low dosing levels with these machines with the inverter drive making them very reliable. Cleaning is particularly easy and is performed by simply replacing the hose.
Gravimetric Dosing Dosing unit range includes seven sizes of machines: series 100 – 200 – 400 – 600 – 800 – 900- -1,000 for throughputs from 30 to 5,000kg/h with the possibility of dosing up to 12 materials. It is also available in the version for high temperatures and clean room (medical sector). Free weighing hopper, double eyelid shutter and ROTOPULSE device are the distinguishing features.
Storage Storage Bins are made entirely of stainless steel, with a lid and withdrawal sensor, they maintain the granule in a suitable environment, protected from ambient contamination such as electrostatic dust, guaranteeing high quality processing.
Temperature Control Moretto has developed a range of temperature controllers involving the availability of eight product families in different versions: direct and indirect exchange, pressurised, pressure vacuum and diathermic oil up to 250°C. The 2 models in Moretto’s range of temperature controllers are all made of stainless steel, providing long-term resistance to corrosion.
Cooling Cooling is one of the most important elements in the plastics processing system, as well as being one of the highest consumers of electricity. The Moretto Research & Development Department has therefore concentrated the design of the new chiller range on two main lines of action: energy saving and compact size. The result is a new Moretto chiller range with high energy saving performance and some of the most compact overall dimensions currently available on the market.
