A new series of Clear-Vu vacuum loader systems will be introduced at K 2004. The loaders are said to expand factory automation potential through linking of loader controls in a series. The systems have higher throughput capabilities than previous Clear-Vu loaders and expanded applicability as a "mini-central" approach to automated loading of multiple processing lines.

The systems have expanded automated loading capability?the number of stations that can be loaded by a single unit is still eight, but through linking of the controls in series it is possible to extend automated loading capability to 24 or more stations. The blower horsepower of each loader is doubled from five to ten, increasing throughput capability from 420 to 1400 kg/hr (925 to 3100 lb/hr) over a distance of 120m (400 ft). An optional material receiver has a capacity of 10 kg (22 lb). The two transparent material receivers shown in the photo are for virgin resin and colorant.
