We wanted more speed from our extrusion lines for soft PVC intravenous (IV) tube and we got it. The jump is considerable. It increases production capacity by more than a third, thanks to improvements on the cooling section. But that is not all. The added performance called for more melt flow, which was found by upping the extruder size. Overall, our PML 032//Explore line now gives you more performance while keeping within a compact layout.
We are continuously working together also with material suppliers to improve our products and NCC curing calculation software is not an exception. The latest update in NCC adds functionality to support material specific curing profile optimization. Now we can create constraints or optimization window for parameters that are not typically used for curing profile calculation.
More and more manufacturers around the world have arrived on the scene and are producing micro-duct for blown fiber. Their needs for increased production performance and capacity are motivation to innovate. Recently we have been looking on how to improve micro-duct tube conditioning in view of simplifying the downstream operations of bundle assembly and jacketing.
Do you know your production line capability? Or the hidden performances which could easily be utilized from your existing capacity? Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is one of the most important indicators used to measure and monitor the performance of one's production, from the equipment itself up to the whole factory. By knowing your OEE, we can help you bring your focus on areas requiring improvement.
Where would the expected performance of an extrusion line be without placing high expectations on the components themselves? That is the approach we take with the machines that compose our multitude of extrusion lines. Those same components, proposed individually, also become worthy allies when considering to upgrade existing lines. With a new Maillefer component, your overall performance gets a serious boost. Your line has the potential to become greater than the sum of all its parts.
Mention the Arili name in Turkey and people think irrigation products in agriculture. Indeed, the company has been serving local customers for nearly 45 years. They gained world class recognition with the arrival of Pipelife in 1989. Today, Arili is a full member of the privately owned Austrian group.
What’s to be expected from today’s extrusion manufacturing provider when investing in production capacity or when looking to improve performance ?
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to turn down a customer order because of lack of capacity?
