With great euphoria, many companies in the plastics and rubber industry, after the long Corona period, started preparations for the 19th edition of their most important and largest fair: K 2022 took place from October 19 to 26, 2022 in Düsseldorf.
3,037 exhibitors looked forward to finally being able to exchange ideas in person again with their around 176,000 trade visitors from 157 nations.
This time too, we were represented with our own booth and an international 20-person team. Mr. Josef Posniak, the spokesman of our management, was also very frequently involved in customer conversations.
Of 89 trade visitors to the Carl Aug. Picard GmbH booth, 28 came from Germany. With joy, despite the difficult situation, we were also able to welcome our Asian customers who took the long journey from Japan, China, Thailand and Malaysia, for example, to visit us at the fair. The remaining visitors traveled from all over Europe and the USA.
In addition to our well-known products and services in the field of co-rotating twin-screw extruders, our newly designed FD systems for the gentle removal of elements were the focus this time.
A distinction is made here between the „FDS & FDX“ and the „FD200“ system. While the „FDS & FDX“ system can remove elements with a diameter of 20-160 mm, the „FD200“ system is suitable for elements with a diameter of up to 270 mm.
The innovation makes it possible to hydraulically remove even these special diameters, in order to reduce the risk of injury and to perform configuration changes in a time-saving manner.
The next K trade fair will take place from October 8 to 15, 2025. We very much look forward to welcoming numerous guests again at our booth then.
