Milacron Continues to Innovate, New High Output Extruders and Sheet Extrusion Lines for Polyolefins

Business Wire
Milacron Holdings Corp. (NYSE: MCRN), a leading industrial
technology company serving the plastics processing industry
announced its entry into the polyolefin sheet extrusion market.
Polyolefins make up the highest volume of thermoplastic products
in the world and uses range from rigid materials to industrial food
packaging and waterproof film. Research and development are
increasing the variety of polyolefins, and as a result, they are
steadily replacing traditional materials in many applications.
In the second quarter of 2015 Milacron delivered its first
polyolefin thick sheet extrusion line consisting of a PAK400 single
screw extruder and a PAK650 single screw extruder. The twin
machines increased the output rates to 2,100 lbs/hr (950 kg/hr).
This represents a new product category for Milacron’s extrusion
offering. Milacron has since delivered a second line in the second
quarter of 2016 and has additional systems to deliver in early
2017.
The first Sheet Extrusion line has been in operation for 12
months, running 24/7 and the customer is reporting excellent
performance. Milacron has installed in-line embossing capability to
these sheet extrusion lines, eliminating the need to emboss
offline, saving the customer another setup and eliminating the need
to reheat the sheet, which can result in additional stress, and
cause possible warping. These new sheet lines are engineered and
installed by Milacron. This advancement allows Milacron to broaden
their capability in packaging, medical and other high-output sheet
applications.
Milacron is known globally for their injection molding prowess
and industry leading brands Mold-Masters, Uniloy, DME and CIMCOOL,
all well-known entities within the plastics and manufacturing
community. Included in this portfolio are some of the industry’s
most innovative extruder designs, a major part of the Milacron
portfolio since 1972.
Brian Marston, President, Milacron Extrusion explains how
Milacron’s extrusion offering differs from many of their
competitors, “Milacron’s lineup of extrusion systems are designed
and built in house, we are producing the equipment in our
Cincinnati, OH, Ahmedabad, India and Jiangyin, China facilities.
Our demonstration and development laboratories have made a science
of optimizing processing via natural compression. This creates a
highly customizable approach for our customers: one that increases
productivity, output and accuracy, while reducing costs.”
Marston went on to explain Milacron’s depth of extrusion
expertise, “From extruders, to new and rebuilt extrusion barrels
and screws, pipe heads, dies and downstream equipment, with
Milacron, you get powerful, reliable solutions that meet unique
customer needs.”
Milacron continues to push the boundaries of possibilities in
plastics with breakthrough products from leading brands including
Milacron, Mold-Masters, DME, Ferromatik, Uniloy and CIMCOOL.
