Engineered for Superior Performance
Our patented Posi-Melt™ technology delivers unmatched melt quality and processing efficiency across all polymer types.
Patented Technology
Proprietary feed screw technology that alters flight pitch and root through the melting section, making them un-tangential to disrupt laminar flow for superior mixing.
Enhanced Melt Quality
Increases plastic exposure to barrel wall by up to 60%, delivering uniform homogenized melt with consistent temperature and material distribution.
Faster Changeovers
Quicker color and material changeovers reduce downtime and increase productivity, leading to lower manufacturing costs and improved operational efficiency.
Complete Pressurization
Complete pressurization throughout ensures excellent conveying, melting, and pumping performance with positive pumping angle and major flight OD wiping action.
High Throughput
Designed for low pressure drop and high throughput with appropriate leading and trailing edge radii to avoid low-velocity sections and maximize pressure.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, LSR applications, 3D printing, rubber machinery, and corrosion-resistant environments.
