What is a purging compound?
Purging compounds are a plastic resin compound designed to clean all primary plastic machinery like injection moulding machines, blow moulding machines, extrusion lines and hot runners when changing colour, resin or simply to remove black spots or contamination.
What are the benefits of using purging compounds?
✔ Save materials and money
Flushing with raw materials or base polymers is very ineffective, time consuming, and wastes a huge amount of raw material or base polymers.
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
