Background:

A renowned company, specializes in the manufacturing of Films, which are delivered all across Europe for diverse applications like Carry Bags, Poly Bags, Woven sacks, etc. The company is incorporated with a hi-tech infrastructure with, advanced and requisite tools and equipment, more than 15 blown film extrusion machines and a professional workforce.

Situation:

Earlier, while making polyethylene films, pellets where preheated in mixer for 30-40 minutes before extruding and still the moisture retained. As a result of this moisture, various additional issues in films occurred like:

• Constant bubble puncture
• Poor strength
• Gassing
• Fish eyes
• Porosity
• Poor surface finish of films

Solution:

The manufacturer switched to RecycloAid and all the issues of moisture were solved. RecycloAid eliminated the preheating process and as a result of it, the films regained the optical properties. Not just this, in fact, the moisture problems like gassing, bubble puncture, poor strength, all were removed to a substantial extent.

Results:

• Stable bubble
• Removal stroke leakage
• No gassing
• Increased rate of production
• Removal of fish eyes in films
• Improved surface finish, gloss & strength

Problem:

Manufacturer of recycled products. located at New Delhi, the company focuses only at scraps like Post Consumer, Irrigation Pipe, Mulch Film etc which are difficult to recycle.

Earlier, while processing recycled granules in the agglomerator/stroke mixer, the pellets used to loose their original properties and as a result  of it, the granules which came out were neither round not solid. Moreover various moisture related problems were found during the extrusion process like:

• Die build up
• Poor strength
• Gassing

Solution:

As the company owner came across ‘RecycloAid’ website, they  tried the unique additive and got surprising benefits. By simply adding 1%-2% of RecycloAid, all the moisture which was building up during the process was removed. As a result of moisture removal RecycloAid improved the rate of production in plastic recycling.

Results:

• Round and solid granules
• No die build-up
• Removal of porosity and other moisture issues
• Lower machine load
• Increase in productivity
