Simplifying Screw Pulls: The Benefits of Advanced Purging Compounds

Introducing Ultra Purge™ 3615

Chem-Trend has developed Ultra Purge™ 3615, a liquid purging compound that makes screw pulls effortless and cuts downtime significantly. Its efficiency, ease of use, and better performance make Ultra Purge™ 3615 the solution most manufacturers seek to improve their thermoplastics processing operations.

 

The Challenges of Screw Pulls in Manufacturing

Screw pulls are one of the essential steps in cleaning, but they are extremely time-consuming. Whenever there is a color or material change, it becomes essential to clean the extruder screw completely to avoid contamination or defects in the product. This generally leads to more time lost on downtime, especially if there are multiple material or polymer changes.

Without proper tools and techniques, screw pulls can turn out to be a production bottleneck quickly, affecting productivity and efficiency. That’s where Ultra Purge™ 3615 steps in to save the day.

 

Purging Compounds Make Screw Pulls Easier

Advanced purging compounds clean the system with fewer screw pulls—what would usually take hours gets done in no time. These compounds effectively purge residual materials from the screw and barrel, enabling rapid changeovers between polymers and colors. Here’s how Ultra Purge™ 3615 makes screw pulls easier:

Minimizes Downtime

Ultra Purge™ 3615 cuts downtime from screw pulls in a big way. Its fast-working formula quickly removes leftover polymers from the screw and barrel, so cleaning times are short, and idle periods are minimal. Less waiting, more production-it’s a win-win.

Easy Material Changes

Switching materials, whether it’s from one polymer to another or changing colors, can be tricky. Ultra Purge™ 3615 doesn’t have that problem: It purges the screw so completely that material changes become seamless—no possibility of cross-contamination, and no extra screw pulls to worry about.

 

Enhanced Production Consistency

Frequent screw pulls or material changes often lead to inconsistent product quality. With Ultra Purge™ 3615, you get clean screws, fewer defects, and production that runs like clockwork.

Self-Draining Technology

Ultra Purge™ 3615 uses advanced self-emptying technology to evacuate all polymer from the screw efficiently. This makes cleaning quicker and easier, cutting down on extra labor or fancy cleaning tools.

 

Advanced Purging Compounds

Purging compounds like Ultra Purge™ 3615 come with plenty of benefits to boost production efficiency:

Time-Efficient: These purging compounds slash screw pull time by 50-90%, so you save a ton of downtime.

Cost-Effective: By reducing downtime and streamlining material changes, they help cut operational costs in the long run.

Versatile: Ultra Purge™ 3615 works with a wide range of materials and polymers, making it perfect for industries like automotive, consumer goods, and medical manufacturing.

Ease of Use: Thanks to its easy-to-use formula, switching between production runs is totally hassle-free.

 

Conclusion: Screw Pulls as a Thing of the Past

With the proper purging compound for injection molding, screw pulls are easier, efficiency increases, and productivity flourishes. Ultra Purge™ 3615 is the answer to minimizing downtime, material changes, and optimizing production quality.
