Plastics, along with natural and synthetic rubbers, are used virtually everywhere: from everyday items and packaging to vehicles and machinery to construction and medical devices. The machines used for the production of these materials need to be fed the raw material mixtures with maximum efficiency, quality, and safety. This is the only way to achieve economic efficiency when large quantities are being produced. The exhibitors at POWTECH TECHNOPHARM fulfil this need. A wide range of plastics technologies are used in the production of master batches and granulates that are required in processing. When it comes to handling raw materials, premixes and compounds in bulk solid form, flexibility is the name of the game. The raw material mixtures consist of large, medium and small components, along with additives. These must be precisely combined and fed to various compound lines. Following the plastic granulation process, the oversized and undersized particles need to be separated before small and large batches can be decanted with as little dust as possible.
