What is a purging compound?
What are the benefits of using purging compounds?
Flushing with raw materials or base polymers is very ineffective, time consuming, and wastes a huge amount of raw material or base polymers.
✔ Less down-time
Manual cleaning by pulling the screw is of course very effective, but is also time and man power consuming which leads to a very long machine down time.
✔ Made for your specific needs
- In compliance with e.g. high quality standards for automotive applications
- keep material and colour changes as short as possible
- Avoids coatings and degenerations on the screw (with sealing)
- Ready to use with existing machine parameters, most of the time no machine adjustment needed
- Minimises the scrap and plastic waste
- Simplify and accelerate maintenance and repair
