Spirex's New Quantum Processing System

Spirex has introduced its new Quantum Processing System that has demonstrated impressive performance results across a wide variety of resins.

Spirex Corporation, the leading worldwide manufacturer of complete plasticating systems and solutions, has introduced its new Quantum Processing System that has demonstrated impressive performance results across a wide variety of resins.

In recent comparison testing, the Quantum Processing System compared favourably to four available systems on an Injection Molding unit with all tests done at 300 screw rpm, 11.7 cubic inch (191.7 cubic cm) shot volume.

The performance results were graphed to see the results between each system for screw recovery time, % of maximum torque used and plasticating rate across a wide range of resins including: PP(20), PP(07), PE(2), PP(12), ABS, PET, Nylon, GE Nylon, PP (35), and PP(10).

The Quantum system outperformed all other systems in practically every category and type of resin.

However, the most impressive results appeared in PET for screw recovery time,% of maximum torque required and plasticating rate.

The unique barrel and screw design combination creates an impressive range of both high output and superior mixing for even the toughest applications.

The graphs attached show the full results for each resin and category.

The Quantum Processing System is sold as a complete assembly including screw, barrel, and non-return valve.

Each component of the system is designed and manufactured at one of Spirex's two US-based facilities and is supported by its global network of sales and service offices.

Spirex a leading international manufacturer of complete plasticating systems and solutions with a comprehensive in-house labouratory, Spirex has sales and service locations throughout North America, South and Central America, Europe, Asia and the Pacific Rim.
