Machine Builders Join Force* On Novel’Direct-to-Sheet’Technology

摘要

Two machine builders have formed a strategic alliance that will give sheet processors an altogether new option to produce highly filled structures as part of the compounding Process.Processing Technologies International(PTi)and Farrel Pomini announced the new joint technology effort,called Direct-to-Sheet(DTS)Compounding,in late March.The agreement integrates Farrel Pomini mixing technologies-notably the firm's Compact Processor(CP)-with PTi roll dent of PTi.Applications include foam packaging and a gamut of industrial end uses for sheet,such as automotive.The system can produce roll stock or be integrated in-line with a thermoformer.Depending on machine size,the DTS system can run at rates from 2200 lb/hr to roughly 10,000 lb/hr.
