July 27, 2010Ireland-based materials-blending specialist, TSM Control Systems is reportedly offering manufacturers new ways to improve their profit margins. New TSM technology focuses on combining standard processing requirements. Accurate dosing and homogeneous material mixing are brought together with material head pressure, which is a critical component when processing re-grind and flake materials.
The new downforce amplifier developed by TSM offers further downward head pressure to the existing cramming action created by the reverse flight auger, which TSM offers on each machine in its batch blender range. The downforce amplifier ensures that material throughput and, by extension, production speed can be maximized when processing difficult regrind materials.
This technology allows the processing of even the most difficult flake cramming materials into the throat of the extruder, thus eliminating variations in flow as a result of bulk density variations. The company claims that this process guarantees homogenous mixing, regardless of regrind percentages, material density or material geometry.
