TechnoPurge®
High-Performance Purging Compound for Plastic Processing
TechnoPurge® is a thermoplastic, pre-blended and economical purging compound designed for efficient cleaning during plastic processing operations.
Whether you are changing colours, changing grades, removing black specks, addressing residue or preparing machinery for shutdown and start-up, TechnoPurge® helps make the purging process simpler, cleaner and more efficient.
Its non-mechanical and non-abrasive action is designed to clean in a single pass while helping manufacturers minimise downtime and scrap.
What Is a Purging Compound?
A purging compound is used during plastic processing to help remove residual material from processing equipment when production conditions change.
In day-to-day manufacturing, residue from a previous material, colour or grade can create contamination, black specks and longer changeover times. A suitable purging compound helps clean the processing system before the next production run.
TechnoPurge® is formulated as a pre-blended thermoplastic purging compound, making it easy to use for common purging requirements.
When Should You Use TechnoPurge®?
TechnoPurge® can be used when your production process requires effective and economical purging.
Colour
Changeovers
When changing from a dark colour to a light colour, residual material can affect the appearance of the next production batch. TechnoPurge® helps remove the previous material and supports a cleaner colour changeover.
Grade
Changeovers
Changing from one plastic grade to another can leave residual material inside the processing system. Purging helps clear this residue before the next material is introduced.
Black
Specks Removal
Black specks and residual deposits can affect the visual quality of finished plastic products. TechnoPurge® is designed to help address black-speck-related cleaning requirements.
Residue
Removal
Residual plastic inside processing equipment can create contamination and affect subsequent production. TechnoPurge® helps address residue issues during machine cleaning.
Machine Shutdown
and Start-Up
Purging can be useful during planned machine shutdowns and start-ups, helping manufacturers prepare processing equipment for the next production cycle.
Temperature
Changeovers
When production requires low- and high-temperature changeovers, selecting an appropriate purging grade can help support the cleaning process.
Contamination
Prevention
Residual material from an earlier production run may contaminate the next batch. Purging helps reduce the risk of carryover during material and colour changes.
