Enge Plas supplies a mechanical purging agent that enables the safe, effective and efficient cleaning of plastics processing equipment.
Metal surfaces are cleaned using a unique scrubbing effect. The material is not abrasive to screw, barrel, die etc.For injection moulding (except where openings are less than 1.5mm)
For extrusion, blow moulding, and injection moulding with openings less than 1.5mm
For hot runner systems with a minimum clearance of 0.75mm
Used in unblended form (i.e. at 100%) in extrusion and compounding processes. Provides a gentle scrubbing effect to the screw and barrel and removes build up of carbonised material. It softens but does not melt, therefore it provides a scrubbing effect it does not scratch or wear the screw or barrel.
Particularly useful when changing colour, polymer, or when screw and barrel are carbonized. Enables rapid purging of the previous colour andor polymer, so that machine downtime and loss of expensive polymer is minimized.
Suitable for injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding processes.
Cost effective, as only a small amount is required, usually at 20% add rate to the polymer.his granular material is blended in with a small amount of the polymer that you are using and fed into a starved screwbarrel. The blended material is processed through your equipment at similar temperatures and revs to typical run conditions for the carrier polymer. The material softens slightly, but does not melt, and thoroughly loosens carbonized and degraded resin, allowing the polymer to flush out the system.
This makes it particularly useful for:
Cleaning colour from your equipment
Cleaning polymer from your equipment
Removing carbon build-up and black specks
Regular preventative maintenance
Before manual cleaning
