Lean Manufacturing with Quick Color and Resin Changeovers
When conventional screw technology does not hit the mark in terms of quick color changeovers or versatility in resin processing, you may not have the most cost-effective or time efficient solution in place for achieving lean manufacturing goals. The associated material costs, manpower and energy needed for changing colors and applications can equate to loss-time in achieving profits if the right equipment is not in place.
PTi's multi-resin dryerless twin screw extruders provide benefits far beyond sheet or roll stock product alone. Ease and quickness in changeovers, more efficient use of regrind, and greater energy savings equate to a more efficient system and operation process.
REAP THE BENEFITS OF:
Quick Color Changeovers... made possible thru:
• Starve-fed dosing system for instantaneous mixing and cutoff of color resin
• Self-wiping lobe screw technology for quick purging of material
• Process average of 12-15 minutes, versus 30-60 minutes of conventional extruders
Multi-resin Processing Capabilities... made possible thru:
• Co-rotating twin screw technology flexible to changing tasks and materials
• LD ratios that provide excellent degassing and drying performance
Efficient Use of Material and Resources... made possible thru:
• Dual high-vacuum dryerless system for moisture removal up to 12000+ ppm
• Ability to process regrind, hygroscopic materials and process scrap without the need to pre-dry or crystallize
• Energy savings of 35+% realized over that of conventional extrusion
