DRYERS: BEAT THE HEAT

The summer months can bring challenges when it comes to drying resins, especially materials that are hygroscopic. Proper dryer maintenance in the spring can help avoid problems as the humidity rises.

SIZE REDUCTION: How smart do you want it?

Size reduction can be the low-tech outlier on the shop floor, and some processors like it that way. For other shops, granulators and shredders that communicate on a network, monitor performance, and report preventive-maintenance data are just what they’ve been waiting for.

MATERIALS: A much-needed boost

A key element in making circularity a reality is ensuring plastics can be effectively recycled into materials that offer good levels of performance. By overcoming quality issues, the newest additives for recycled resins can help.

EXTRUSION: In the pipeline

Manitoba-based startup Encoma has entered the HDPE pipe extrusion market with a little help from KraussMaffei.
