D-LFT In-Line Compounding & Molding:New Equipment Provides Easier Entry

摘要

It's easier than ever for injection molders to get in on the action in direct compounding and molding of long-fiber reinforced thermoplastics (D-LFT).This technology offers the superior structural properties of long-fiber reinforcements at lower cost than purchasing precompounded pellets.At the recent NPE show in Chicago,two familiar names in injection molding machinery introduced standardized equipment options for a patented D-LFT process that is said to be less expensive and simpler to operate than other D-LFT methods.It also reportedly delivers material containing longer fibers than does molding with precompounded pellets.
