ATLANTA, JULY 2, 2009/ POST - NPE 2009 – Unique Reprocessing Technology on show at NPE 2009 / Following on from a hugely successful show at NPE 2009 TSM Control Systems is now offering plastics producers the answer to their reprocessing problems. As demonstrated at NPE 2009 TSM’s innovative new blending solutions are directly combating many of the processing difficulties being experienced by plastics processors around the world from Chicago to to China.

Many plastics processors took the opportunity at NPE 09 to outline difficulties that they are having in processing regrind materials. The common complaints centered on being unable to process higher percentages of regrind materials due to the constraints of their existing mixing equipment. In particular, their inabilities to get these higher percentages of regrind material through the throat of their processing equipment. It seems this demand for processing more regrind materials corresponds to a consistent drop in virgin resin usage by processors relating to market demands to reduce final product costs.

TSM’s mixing solution directly overcomes this processing difficulty by cramming material through the throat of the processing machine using their patented reverse flight auger mixing technique. This unique mixing technique allows processing of up to 100% low bulk density flake regrind directly in TSM’s new OPTI-MIX^TM range of gravimetric blenders. TSM maintain that their mixing technique allows processors to reuse more regrind materials without re-pelletizing costs, while using more recycled materials reduces material usage of expensive virgin materials and reducing material wastage. 

Much of TSM’s product development in recent times has also been focused on reducing production costs for processors with fully automatic self-cleaning blenders; which eliminate health and safety risks, greater accuracy in material usage and production optimization software. Now that the market is aligning with the same objective – processing cost reduction – TSM seem set to change how plastics processors do business.

TSM would also like to take this opportunity thank each visitor too their booth at NPE 2009 in Chicago between June 22^nd-26^th.
