Polymer processing plant

The Poly4 processing machine is designed to help enhance and streamline the production of specialised polymers. It is a four-component processing plant, which automatically produces bubble-free, high-performance polymer stock. At no time during the process does any component come into contact with the atmosphere.

A fully-enclosed process until the output of material, the machine uses controlled atmosphere, with inert gases to prevent contamination. Able to provide improved processing accuracy, the equipment is able to safely handle more difficult pre-polymers and curatives.

In addition, the machine is able to handle a larger heat range than its predecessor, the Poly3. The vacuum chambers are also larger.

The process now allows development of polyurethanes which are tougher and possess better abrasion resistance to existing polyurethane stock. The machine can manufacture food-grade polymer stock, which meets the most stringent health regulations. The polymer stock allows an operator to program any seal profile or shape, in a matter of seconds. This system is used to produce standard stock seals and is especially suitable for made-to-order seals which are required in a hurry for emergency situations.
