After a fire destroyed their previous plant in 2008, Sakata Inx Espana commissioned NETZSCH to design and build a new flexographic ink production facility in Barcelona, Spain. NETZSCH was chosen for their expertise in wet grinding processes and ability to deliver a turnkey solution. NETZSCH designed a process using their own machinery along with best-in-class equipment from other vendors. Downscale trials validated the design before full-scale construction. The new plant began production in 2010 and has consistently produced high quality ink while meeting goals for throughput, cost, and schedule.
Keeplastics has been a customer of Hitachi for
several years. Its patented piping bag ‘Kee-Seal ULTRA’, which is manufactured at the company’s factory in Norrköping, is widely used in the food industry. When Keeplastics needed to invest in new printing equipment it chose the UX D inkjet printer from Hitachi.
Reliability was an important factor when Production Manager, Lars-Åke Johansson was choosing the new printing equipment. He ultimately selected the UX D model because of Hitachi’s previous industry experience.

Okay, so you have an content model -- a structure -- but now you have to figure out how to write the content that goes into that structure. How do you write content that will be usable and consistent, regardless of who is writing? This session shows you how to create consistent, reusable content to support your structures, and how to create writing guidelines that all authors can follow.

We are entering a new era where it seems that everything can be managed via chatbots (instead of apps full of “messy” UIs).
Messaging is becoming “liquid”, channels are increasing, for P2P messages SMS are falling down while Whatsapp and other IMs surpassed every other communication channel in history.
What will be a possible future? How can we organize and aggregate everything, solving the complexity and gaining momentum from all the opportunities?
Over its 32-year history, MEKA has become one of the most successful representatives of the Turkish industry thanks to its consistent growth policy focused on concrete plants and crushing and screening technologies. With its qualified human resources, the company has been taking firm steps to become one of the industry’s top players on a global scale.

The printed circuit board industry has a long history of development and advancement. Since 1925 when Charles Ducas
first filed a patent for creating an electrical path directly on an insulated surface, PCB manufacturers have risen to meet the
challenges of supporting rapidly progressing industries.

YOUR SUCCESS
2. 2
After a devastating fire in 2008 Sakata
Inx España and Sakata Inx Japan looked
to the plant and process engineering
expertise at NETZSCH. The new produc-
tion facility is the largest project of
its kind in Europe since 2008, they
needed a company that could design
NETZSCH Processing and Plant-Engineering Deliver another
Turn key Plant.

the process and then engineer the new
plant from start to finish, and also guar-
antee its final performance.
NETZSCH was in a good position, having
completed a number of full turn-key
plants on time and on budget.

Engineering a World Class Plant
When you are making a strategic invest-
ment, one that you have to live with for
at least the next 10 years, you cannot
afford to compromise. Sakata needed a
partner that:
Will engineer the process from the
best available technology – not just
its own.
Has a wealth of knowledge of wet
processing technologies including
mixing, pre-dispersion, wet grinding,
de-aeration and filtration systems.
Can handle the complexity of such a
large project.
Can apply best-of-class knowledge
gained from other industries.
Has the laboratory facilities to vali-
date the engineered solution prior to
installation, and can guarantee the
plant’s performance.
Has the resource to deliver against
tight deadlines.
Can provide the expertise in plant
safety with all the latest monitoring
and hazardous prevention systems
on the market today.

Making it Happen
After preliminary design studies and
engineering works, NETZSCH proposed
a solution using all new machinery, and
the latest production technology. Sakata
Inx commissioned NETZSCH in January
2009 to build and commission the new
plant.
Working from the plant performance
specifications the NETZSCH engi-
neers focused on designing the best
possible solutions – utilising both their
own patented machinery, like the LMZ
Recirculation Bead Mill and the Inline-
Disperser -MIX ®
, as well as best-in
class equipment from other vendors.
The revolutionary -MIX ®
used in the
plant, with a combination of vacuum
dispersing, shearing, micro cavitation
and pressure wetting resulted in high
productivity, with excellent results and
total reproducible quality.
The combination of both -MIX ®
and
LMZ recirculation mill is providing prod-
ucts, the quality of which have never
been seen before. This combination is
showing significant savings in raw mate-
rials and enormous improvements in Ink
quality (mostly in gloss and transpar-
ency), being able to reach chips quality
ink in some of their formulations, and
some very relevant saving in pigment
and raw material costs.

From Grams to Tonnes
Sakata Inx had to be sure of the plant
efficiency, reliability and output prior to
installation. Using their labs in Germany,
NETZSCH conducted downscale trials
of the process design, and the selected
equipment and process controls - vali-
dating the engineered solution and
optimizing the plant’s performance
and reliability. With this information,
NETZSCH were able to guarantee full-
scale plant performance. A guarantee
they stood behind 100%!

Plant in Barcelona started to produce in
January 2010.
Pulling it All Together
From site preparation through to
commissioning and final plant inspec-
tion – This was a real turnkey solution
NETZSCH provided. Some of the main
elements of the project included, the
design and construction of new PMD
batch disperser technology for produc-
tion of NC whites without a milling
phase, upgraded LMZ recirculation
bead mill and the revolutionary Inline
Disperser -MIX ®
.
All products produced are either
supplied directly to the end user or held
in stock ready for use in one of the
largest dispensing systems in Europe,
provided by INKMAKER of Italy and
installed by NETZSCH.
Mezzanine steelwork and big-bag
lifting gantries; Hoists and cruciforms,
big-bag and small-bag discharge units,
process valves instrumentation, process
pipe work with lagging, the complex
electrical installation, product filters,
transfer pumps, dust extraction system,
fume extraction system, compressed
air system, chilled water and heating
system and many hundreds of smaller
items.
The revolutionary cleaning systems
allowed Sakata Inx to install 3 color
graded lines which included -MIX ®
,
mixing vessel, LMZ bead mill, let down
and adjustment vessel and pallet filling
equipment.
The cleaning system which is a combi-
nation of cleaning heads and surface
mounted nozzles to use only 100 -2500
lts of cleaning fluid (some reusable for
future batches) to clean the whole line
ready for the next color.
Product is being delivered to Sakata Inx
customers all over Europe, with consis-
tent high quality and all the goals of
the project were met including quality,
throughput, cost and schedule, and
reliability.
