Resin Conveying Systems commonly fit into one of the following four categories:
- Single Source - Single Destination: Extrusion, thermoforming, and injection (preforms)
- Single Source - Multiple Destination: Extrusion, injection (caps), and blowmolding (containers)
- Multiple Source - Single Destination: Extrusion
- Multiple Source - Multiple Destination: Injection, extrusion (tubing, wire & cable)
Many crossover situations may affect the system selection process but typically...more(+)
Touchscreens are the latest form of interface to be applied to the control of polymer conveying systems. A touchscreen can be made to operate either a programmable logic control (PLC) or a microprocessor-based control.more (+)
Central material-handling systems are inherently complex. To help plastics processors evaluate their systems, the articles provided here help identify minor problems that can easily be corrected, and even help conduct a full-scale.... more (+)
Improved or replaced plastics conveying systems can financially benefit a plastics processing operation by reducing part rejects and labor, material, and energy costs. An upgrade can eliminate line plugs and improve the quality of your product and reduce delivery times... more (+)
