Wood Plastic Composites

Wood-plastic composites may be one of the most dynamic sectors of today’s plastic industry. Although the technology is not new, there is growing interest in the new design possibilities this marriage of materials offers. The production of WPC typically uses a fine wood waste (cellulose-based fiber fillers such as hardwood, softwood, plywood, peanut hulls, bamboo, straw, etc.) mixed with various plastics (PP, PE, PVC). The powder is extruded to a dough-like consistency and then extruded to the desired shape.

    Wood-plastic composites may be one of the most dynamic sectors of today’s plastic industry.

The powder is extruded to a dough-like consistency and then extruded to the desired shape.

    Compared to many other processes, online compounding and extrusion exhibit short performance timescales, consistent with the mixing time of the extruder.  For high formulation quality, the feeding system must achieve and maintain its required blending accuracy within this brief time. Key to a feeder’s ability to attain high accuracy over short intervals is the resolution of its weighing device and response of its process controller. As the illustration at right shows, lengthy performance timescales permit a given blending accuracy to be attained with a low-performance weighing system.  However, to achieve the same accuracy in the short interval characteristic of compounding and extrusion operations, a much higher weighing performance is required.

  • For Wood and Other Organics
    Our loss-in-weight feeders offer the perfect solution to precise feed rate control of the full range of wood and other organic components in wood/plastic composites. Features include stable, all-digital SFT weighing technology with 1:8,000,000 resolution in 20ms, large hemispherical feed bowls, extensive agitation options, and metering screw selection.
    For Resins, Regrind, and Additives 
    Our K4G Feeding & Blending System is designed for the online blending of up to six components at low to medium rates. Able to accommodate various feeders for combining pelletized, granular, and powdered or flaked materials which are blended simultaneously on the extruder.  The  K4G systems are available in 1-, 4-, and 6-ingredient stands, specially designed to be mounted directly on the extruder in a highly compact configuration. To facilitate cleaning or material changeover, each K4G feeder easily swings out providing full, unobstructed access.
    For Powders, Flakes, and Non-Free-Flowing Materials
    Our standard and Compact Line single and twin-screw loss-in-weight feeders gravimetrically control the flow of even the most challenging bulk solid materials at rates as low as 100 g/hr. 
    High-resolution Smart Force Transducer digital weighing technology combined with the industry’s most advanced loss-in-weight control enables the highest possible accuracy even in the most difficult process environments. The standard loss-in-weight feeders feature stable 3-point weighing. Smaller Compact Line loss-in-weight feeders employ precision platform-based weighing.
