    Plastics News assistant managing editor Bill Henson gathered these product introductions at Plastics Fair Charlotte in Charlotte, N.C. New Herbold Inc. of Sutton, Mass., has a new bale breaker, the SZ 560 series, for separation of PET bottle clusters. It is available with two to six shafts.

    New Herbold, the distributor of granulators and recycling equipment for Neue Herbold GmbH of Sinsheim-Reihen, Germany, said the breaker can achieve throughput of 4,000-20,000 pounds per hour. The SZ 560 has a hopper capacity of two to three bales and can be conveyor-fed.

    A new line of sapphire nozzle and direct cavity mold transducers by Sensotron Inc. measure both pressure and temperature of the plastic melt.

    The Huntington Beach, Calif., firm said when used to monitor and control in either open or closed-loop modes, the nozzle transducers provide shot weight control 50-90 times more precise than a standard machine.

    SEN-43220M-19 and SEN-432-30M-19R direct cavity mold and nozzle transducers both have dual output signals for melt pressure and temperature.
