Color change systems: the tool for cost saving in extrusion process

$15.00

To achieve cost reduction in the insulation process, raw material savings including reduction of scrap have the main impact. Increased production speed and automation come second and third. Color change systems help to meet these targets through masterbatch saving, scrap reduction, continuous high speed production and facilitating menu driven extrusion process (color sequence – reel change – reel storage.
