The installation of a newly launched Pallmann PKM800 pulverizing system – created by Pallmann Industries, Pompton Plains, New Jersey – has enabled the company to expand capacity. The new pulverizer delivers a greater throughput, increased productivity, reduced material cost and greater cleanliness for products made of PVC.
In response to the booming building and construction market, the PVC extruder needed to boost capacity to meet growing demand. The high-performance PKM800 pulverizer converts PVC scrap and delivers 2,000 pounds per hour of recycled PVC at 20 mesh (840 micron) particle size. The recycled powders are mixed with virgin PVC material and are re-entered into the profile extrusion process.
The PKM800 also delivers uniform particle size distribution for production of more intricate and detailed profiles. High-quality powders can be produced, and blemishes and pits are reduced in finished parts.
