Heat Exchangers

PSI Heat Exchangers (HEX-SM), also referred to as melt coolers, provide exceptional efficiency when cooling or heating viscous fluids.

Extrusion Die Changer

Extrusion Die Changers rapidly and easily exchange die heads in and out of a process line. The system utilizes a hydraulically actuated quick-shift slide plate mounted on linear rails to exchange die heads in less than 30 seconds, reducing changeover time to under 10 minutes from one hour (typ.)  – shutdown to startup.

Uniflow static mixer

Uniflo Static Mixers (USM) enable continuous in-line mixing of polymers, colorants, adhesives, and other fluids. Highly polished, alternating 90° helical elements (alternating bow-tie twists) offer radial and axial blending over a short distance, ensuring complete mixing of compounded materials or flattening melt temperature differences.

Wye-Blocks & Valves

Wye-Block adaptors divide and direct melt flow from a single extruder into two or more forming dies. Whether it's a simple 'Y' block or a more sophisticated multi-port manifold, PSI blocks excel at streamlining and balancing flow while minimizing die residence time.

Candle Filters

Utilized in long batch runs where the process cannot be disturbed, ILF filters remove impurities including gels and solid particulates requiring fine micron-level filtration. The design stabilizes melt velocity in the vessel and eliminates gel formation using a multi-port discharge bushing.
