Plastrac Is Going Mobile -- Latest Generation of Blending Systems Puts Them on Carts for Sharing Between Multiple Process Machines
ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwired - Mar 24, 2015) - Plastrac has seen the future of blending systems and is maximizing efficiencies between multiple stand-alone processing machines. To that end, the company is launching a new line of space-and-time-saving cart-based blending systems to make additive and other changes simple, fast, and effortless. They offer extreme efficiency to custom molders on short runs. The carts can be rolled and set up quickly. Several of the new models will be on display at the National Plastics Exposition (Booth W232) in Orlando, FL, March 23-25.
Plastrac has been supplying custom single cart systems for several years and recently standardized them. The new cart systems at NPE are duplex and fully independent dual models, believed to be exclusive in the industry. The duplex dual is based on the value proposition of a single virgin feeder and two different color feeders with shared controller and blower system, typically operating independently with either manual color filling or an automated color loader. The fully independent dual system uniquely allows two different resins for double-shot machines (for applications like toothbrushes that integrate a hard plastic with a soft LSR grip). Separate hoppers on the carts facilitate easy color changes. For instance, a full dual will accommodate two natural resins, up to two additives, with a shared blower system and a control box that can manage up to six disc feeders. Operators will be able to switch colors electronically.
According to Ken Bullivant, President of Plastrac, "In recent years, calling on customers, on their shop floors, week-in and week-out, it became apparent to us that there was a need for quick changeovers and simple set-ups on short runs and to support Just In Time manufacturing practices. So, we designed our new cart systems for easy transport, quick access, and trouble-free blending shared between adjacent or close proximity machines. Our cart systems simplify so many aspects of blending and enable capabilities unavailable from single blend cart-based weigh batch systems, notably reducing scrap as high as 30% down to near zero."
The new mobile systems can be configured many different ways. Plastrac will work closely with the customer to tailor a cart to shared needs between process machines, physical specifications of the shop floor, and changeover flexibility, present and future. That includes a version of the core components of a single cart system removed from its wheels for easy fixed overhead mounting for offline blending into a drum or gaylord.
Certain features are standard on every Plastrac cart system. For instance, Plastrac has a unique blend funnel that optimizes blending even with extremely small percentage additives. It feeds into a slideout stainless steel catch hopper below the cart whose design ensures trouble-free blending of multiple streams of gravity fed pellets or micro pellets and any additives, as well as quick access and easy cleaning. Every feed hopper above the cart has an ultrasonic non-contact wireless level sensor with auto shutoff to ensure resin and additive supplies are easy to keep filled. All parts of the system are easy to connect and disconnect for fast changeovers and setups.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
