Plastics

The plastics industry is a massive industry which touches literally everyone.

All valves we manufacture for this industry are compliant and conform regulations

The plastics industry is a massive industry that literally touches everyone. It is also extremely valuable, a value which, in fact, in many ways is being wasted every time we throw a plastic drinks bottle into a garbage bin. Fortunately, there is a rising awareness of the present and future consequences of plastic waste. Governments are waking up to the problem, and various initiatives are now in place. This is encouraging because, according to the United Nations Environmental Program, about 43 percent of the plastic used globally is currently disposed of in landfills.

For plastic powder and granulates we have developed special models of Rotary Valves and rotors, to avoid clogging of the powders, or breaking of the granular products, and thus minimising product degradation.

DMN-WESTINGHOUSE has a range of products for handling virgin and recycled regrind, flaked, and granular plastics. For lower pressure systems, the range includes the GL granular valve. Both valves have been designed to minimize product degradation while retaining the best possible pocket filling efficiency.
