American Process Systems® offers a complete line of plastic blending equipment. APS provides a cost-effective solution for blending, coating, and drying plastics. Our comprehensive line of blending equipment and experience is ideally suited for companies looking to process and manufacture plastic resins (lab to large scale production). 

Our plastic blending equipment is designed for pre-mixing additives (processing aids or stabilizers) used in the process of manufacturing plastic resins. The additives, also known as processing aides or stabilizers, are introduced to help fight against factors such as heat, chemicals, or UV prior to being formed as pellets. Typical additives suitable for blending include, but are not limited to, antimicrobials, antioxidants, antistatics, fibers, plasticizers, lubricants, UV stabilizers, fillers, flame retardants, and colorants. Our equipment is also capable of handling materials that shear sensitive or friable.

If drying is required, American Process Systems® has a full line of blending equipment suitable for drying plastic resins. If moisture is not adequately removed, it can cause voids in the material adversely affecting the physical performance of the product. Unlike conventional dryers where the product is stationary, our equipment produces a dynamic mix action resulting in improved heat transfer. It is also constantly turned over, resulting in significantly shorter drying rates. The dryer is suitable for hot water, oil, or steam drying. Vacuum can be added to aid the drying process. Applying vacuum allows drying processes to proceed faster and at lower temperatures, reducing the possibility of thermal degradation of the plastic resin.
