This article explains how plastics processors can improve purging efficiency by combining high-quality purging compounds with well-managed processes. It highlights common mistakes—like using cheap virgin resin, choosing purging compounds only by price, and ignoring supplier instructions—that often reduce cleaning effectiveness. The article also emphasizes the importance of consistent training, process monitoring, and choosing the right supplier to reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and improve profitability in extrusion and injection molding operations.

Although recycled plastics are seen as a key solution to pollution and circular economy goals, they face limited adoption due to high costs, weak policies, technical bottlenecks, market resistance, and low consumer acceptance. Breaking through requires stronger regulations, technological innovation, supply chain coordination, and consumer incentives to shift from "concept popularity" to real market demand.

This article explains the advantages of side vacuum exhaust systems in plastic extrusion. Unlike traditional top-mounted systems, side vacuum systems prevent material overflow by positioning the vacuum port laterally, improving process stability and reducing maintenance. It also clarifies that a stable negative pressure—not higher vacuum strength—is key to effective degassing. Factors such as temperature control, screw speed, and screw design also significantly impact performance. The side vacuum system is especially suitable for high-volatility materials where reliability is critical.

in order to meet the needs of different uses, chemical or physical methods are used to change some properties of plastic products to achieve the intended purpose, which is plastic modification.

Q1.The length is larger than the normal pelletA: Cause of occurrence:The main reasons are: starting the machine, pulling or breaking the strip, the direction of the strip is not straight, the strip is not properly soaked in water, and the cutting tool of the granulator is worn or has gaps.Main solut

We are familiar with TPE materials as formula materials, which are composed of SEBS, plastics, filling oil, fillers, and other additives. Based on SEBS and other related materials, they all have good processing performance and an important processing process called "granulation". The granulation pro

With the progress of society, the car floor mat industry has become increasingly mature, and the raw materials used have also been concentrated from the original XPE, EVA and other materials to PVC, and TPE materials that have sprung up in recent years.TPV and TPE are the current mainstream material
