Oseco Introduces “Stock to Dock” Plastic Extruder Plug Program
Program delivers extruder burst plugs in half the time
Broken Arrow, Okla. (September 3, 2009) – Overpressurization in plastic extruders causes expensive equipment damage and can lead to long periods of downtime for plastics manufacturers. Oseco’s new “Stock to Dock” extruder plug program delivers overpressurization protection for plastic extruders in half the time of other providers. The program offers a 10-day lead time on all orders, allowing faster delivery and less downtime.
Oseco’s extruders plugs are installed through the extruder barrel with the rupture disc end flush with the inside barrel wall, just before melted plastic is forced through the screen pack. This area of the extruder barrel can experience pressures greater than 5000 psi. Should pressure inside the barrel exceed a predetermined amount, the plug will open up and safely vent the molten plastic.
The “Stock to Dock” extruder plug program offers 1.81-inch screwdriver head, and 3 and 6-inch machined hex head burst plugs in a wide range of burst pressures. All burst plugs bodies are constructed of stainless steel and have a ½ inch-20 UNF standard thread. Custom burst plugs are available in additional sizes and burst pressures with an available CE mark for European use.
