Modular die system.


A modular, multiple-output die system is said to ensure precision control for extrusion of jacketing and tubing in a wide range of product variations, while utilizing just one extruder.

The Series 100 system can produce eight, 16, 32 or 64 products from a single extruder. This system can also be configured to co-extrude up to three layers, as well as single or multiple stripes. The Series 100 is engineered for compounding, coating of wire or thread, small tubes or small profiles. Major applications in addition to compounding include electronic, medical, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and  and wire and cable.

The Series 100 system has the additional capability to produce low-volume output, and to easily adapt to quick-change tooling, as necessary. To increase or reduce overall output, a shut-off valve is simply turned on or off.

In this proprietary tooling, the manufacturer's patented flow passages convey all the input materials without stagnation Stagnation

A period of little or no growth in the economy. Economic growth of less than 2-3% is considered stagnation. Sometimes used to describe low trading volume or inactive trading in securities.

Notes:
A good example of stagnation was the U.S. economy in the 1970s.
, enabling them to merge to form single strands. The flow passages were designed with software using the company's custom 3D CAD advanced flow analysis.

The Series 100 is said to yield high precision measurement for the blending of two or more materials. Because of the precision engineering, mixing and uniformity for strand pelletizing Pelletizing or pelletising is the process of compressed or molding of product into the shape of a pellet. A large range of different products are pelletized including chemicals, iron ore, animal compound feed, and more. , jacketing or tubing are said to be very accurate and reliable, which contributes to production efficiencies and cost savings.
