Articles explore plastics manufacturing, looking at the role of process cooling equipment in the design, manufacture and production of goods in the process industries.
A retrofit project for a Vietnamese rigid packaging and PET converter swapped out four evaporative cooling towers and eight water-cooled chillers for side-machine individual chillers and an adiabatic cooler for overall heat dissipation.
Electric noise caused by variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and other direct-coupled electrical fast transients from valves and relays is a serious challenge in the plastics industry. To address the problem, Danfoss developed a pressure transmitter optimized for the specific conditions of the plastics industry.
Industrial operations continue to confront numerous issues with the cooling towers employed to cool industrial processes. The towers cool the processes by evaporatively cooling the circulating water used for process cooling.
With the Ecodry 4.0 system, the company’s Microgel, Turbogel and Thermogel process-synchronized mold temperature control units are used to provide an operating temperature range of 41 to 392°C (5 to 200°C).
The use of additive manufacturing — also known as 3D printing — continues to grow significantly. Expanding from the printing of tooling, fixtures and prototypes into the full production of robust, reliable products used throughout many industries, 3D printing has moved well beyond simply printing uncomplicated plastic parts.
An Industry 4.0 platform for plastics processors combines equipment monitoring and visualization functions with cloud-based data storage and analytics.
From manufacturing personal items like toys and toothbrushes to industrial parts like plastics utilized in automobiles, injection molding is one of the most relevant manufacturing techniques in use today.
If manufacturing were a person (stick with me here…), it would be the world’s worst control freak. Think about it: knowledge and control are the name of the game in effective manufacturing.
