Molder Saves Over $38,000 & Gains 360 Production Hours by Switching to Dyna-Purge M
|
Garlock Sealing Technologies, based in Palmyra, NY, is a leading supplier of high-performance fluid sealing products for the world’s processing industries. Garlock’s Senior Production Planner states that when changing from black to clear urethane, they were experiencing an excessive amount of degradation….. purging on average of six times per week at a cost of $170.85 per purge, represented over $53,000 in annual purging costs.

A rumor has surfaced speculating that IDES will soon be releasing an updated version of the Prospector search engine for plastic materials information. Apparently engineers at IDES have developed several new enhancements to Prospector. Many of the updates appear to address several suggestions from Prospector users during the past two years. Anonymous sources have posted spy photos of what looks to be a new datasheet and search results table. |
