Why purge your machine

Why Purge your machine

Time is Money!

Operating thermoplastic processing equipment can cause major downtime due to difficult color changes, material changes, black specks from carbon build up, or in the worst case scenario – teardown; all representing a financial loss in productivity.

Purging with a high performance purging material is a proven method to significantly save time and money by reducing downtime and waste.
The reduction of downtime is key. Purging can help accomplish this goal because it:

Corrects processing degradation issues to avoid dismantling

  1. Expedites material and/or color changes
  2. Prevents degradation during shutdown, promote faster startups
  3. Preventative maintenance
  4. Reduction of scrap
  5. Purging prior to procedurally required dismantling reduces clean-up time

The value of uptime, combined with raw material costs and machine size, can more than offset the costs of purging compounds.

When To Use

  1. Removing degradation such as carbon and gels
  2. Removing plate out of additives and/or colors
  3. Changing material viscosities and/or colors
  4. Stabilization during shutdown
  5. Preventative Maintenance
