The plastics industry relies on precision and efficiency at every stage of manufacturing, from raw material handling to product finishing. Blowers play a crucial role in various stages of production, from moving raw materials to ensuring proper cooling and drying, and can help streamline operations, improve product quality, and reduce energy consumption.
Blowers are utilised in a variety of different ways in the plastics industry. A key application of blowers in the plastics industry is in pneumatic conveying systems, where they are utilised to transport plastic pellets or granules from one area to another, which improves efficiency across a plastic manufacturing operation. Additionally, blowers can be utilised to help prevent deformation in the moulding and extrusion processes, ensuring the consistent quality of your plastic manufactured components.
When your blower is faulty, or experiences unplanned downtime, your production line can come to a halt, especially if a company does not possess a spare machine on-site. For example, if a blower fails during pneumatic conveying, raw materials may not reach processing machines, leading to immediate production stoppages. In some cases, a single blower outage at a facility can cause a ripple effect across the entire production line, increasing operational costs due to emergency repairs and wasted materials.
