Getting Cool and Looking Good

Sep 2, 2015 12:00:00 AM

Cooling product on an extrusion line may appear commonplace. But, the extra attention given to chilling water means being trendy when it comes to performance, quality, and environmental considerations. Indeed, compromised line speed, passable product quality, excess electrical and water consumption are handicaps to maximizing value and to looking good to premium buyers of your product.

Drippers Marching On

Jun 25, 2015 12:00:00 AM

What a challenge! How to keep micro-drip irrigation drippers all lined-up perfectly and in pace with our high extrusion line speeds? Maintaining an uninterrupted continuous flow of drippers is critical when offering insertion rates as high as 2000 drippers per minute. The key is to buy time by massively accumulating drippers ready for insertion. Plus, that precious time can be put to good use to condition drippers and assuring a consistent weld quality.

Wish to Improve Your High Voltage Cable Production?

Apr 23, 2015 12:00:00 AM

Our new triple crosshead THX 70/150LR has been developed to enable longer production runs by improved material flow and temperature control. The key improvements compared to our standard triple crosshead are shorter material residence time, minimized stagnation risks, increased water tempered area, and improved distribution. The crosshead is part of the Long Run Value Package.
