The Gelimat thermo kinetic principle reduces compounding time to a matter of seconds. Compounded material is discharged automatically by an electronic temperature sensor through a special discharge door. The ejected material can then be fed into a melt pump, a short barrel extruder, calender system, molding system or any other type of shaping device.
Systems are available from laboratory to large-scale production sizes.
This higher density powder can then be extruded at considerably higher throughput rates. For instance, a 95 percent regrind of rigid PVC film edge trim can be used to make extrusion and molding compounds. Furthermore, the small overall dimensions of Gelimat installation lend itself to implementation even if conventional processing systems are in place. Direct Feed through top hopper with locking slide. Side feed with axial feed screw.
