Extruder Cuts Downtime 50% by Switching from a Liquid to a Thermoplastic Purging Compound

Click Here for a Complimentary Sample & chance to win a $50 gift certificate*

Amhil Enterprises was experiencing extensive downtime using a liquid purging agent to purge 10 lines of extrusion equipment three times every month. By switching to Dyna-Purge, a thermoplastic purging compound, the company cut downtime and improved cleaning performance.

  • Lower Purging Costs - average cost to purge decreased 25%
  • Less Downtime - purging now takes only 30 minutes instead of 1 hour
  • Superior Cleaning - more thorough cleaning reported
  • Ready to Use - no mixing, soaking or waiting necessary

Under its continuous improvement program, Amhil Enterprises switched to Dyna-Purge to cut downtime and lower purging costs. Details are available in a published Case Study.
