Progressive Injection Molder Pioneers in Thermoforming IML
When you’re a successful injection molder producing 1.8 billion containers and lids for food-packaging containers annually, what do you do when you feel the time is right to expand? For most companies in that position, the response might be to buy a few more molding machines, maybe enter a new market, or underprice the competition to secure a greater share of your current piece of the action. Tech II’s approach to expanding its business this year was a tad more daring and splashy. Learn more

FREE WEBINAR: Maximizing Efficiency of PET Drying Systems for Sheet Extrusion

Processors are not inclined to put an operational dryer on the trash heap in order to get a new, energy-efficient model. On the other hand, when a new line is being added the whole drying system has to be reviewed – from the system layout to the dryer including the usefulness of the control and options like gas-fired process heaters. Maximizing energy savings makes good sense in the long term as well as the short term because the initial cost of an energy efficient drying system can often be greatly reduced through energy credits or rebates from federal, state or local power companies.
