Vacuum solutions for the plastics industry

Vacuum technology is a key element for quality and efficiency in plastics processing – for example in thermoforming and recycling, the extrusion of films and the degassing and coating of plastics. Edwards Vacuum is a renowned, leading international specialist for these vacuum applications.

From October 8 to 15, 2025, the company will therefore be presenting its vacuum solutions at the “K” trade fair in Düsseldorf and will be happy to answer trade visitors' questions on these topics at its booth I 31 in hall 11.

Degassing vacuum system for plastics production, processing and recycling
Among other things, Edwards is presenting its dry-running extruder degassing system “EXDM”, which has been specially developed for plastics processing and recycling. The modular package is based on the robust, dry claw vacuum pump “EDC”, which is equally suitable for integration into new and existing systems. The “EXDM” vacuum solution offers users a reliable system with low operating and service costs.

Maintenance ensures full performance at lower operating costs
“To ensure that ‘EXDM’ runs efficiently and reliably on site, we offer users a wide range of service solutions that we tailor to their specific needs,” summarises Frank Achenbach, Market Sector Manager at Edwards. “We take care of the systems from the initial on-site consultation to the design of a suitable vacuum system and customised maintenance contracts, ensuring that they perform to their full potential at lower operating costs throughout their life cycle.”

EDS vacuum pump for the production of compounds and masterbatches
Edwards will also be showcasing the “EDS” vacuum pump at the “K” trade fair. It is based on dry screw technology and is used when compounds are produced from a wide variety of components to ensure product properties and quality. It can be commissioned directly with little effort and flexibly adapted to all specific processes. The “EDS” vacuum pump as a system is capable of reliably producing complex compounds at low operating costs.

Edwards “Polycold Max Cool cryocooler” for degassing
In the degassing systems and vacuum equipment product category, Edwards will also be exhibiting its “Polycold Max Cool cryocooler” at the “K” trade fair. The system can effectively capture water vapor in a closed process, up to 95% of the residual gas in high vacuum systems. Water vapor is typically the most reactive pollutant present. With their “Max Cool cryocoolers”, you can increase product throughput in your existing system by 20% to 100% and improve separation quality. High-speed pumping of water vapor up to 400,000l/sec. Cooling from -98°C (175 K) to -145°C (128K).
