Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed an efficient process for turning used plastics into plastics of virgin quality. Check out the article here: https://phys.org/news/2019-10-plastic-high-quality-advanced-steam.html
Localized manufacturing takes another step towards globalization!
“It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary.” -Richard Whately
Rebuilding quality equipment was how AMS got its start, over 25 years ago. We expanded to designing and manufacturing new equipment for the past 20 years, but still continue to take pride in rebuilding, and sometimes re-engineering equipment, to provide the customer with savings. The strength of certain older gearboxes is still valued today, combined by rebuildig and adding new state of the art controls you are able to get excellent value and durability. After a complete disassembly a detailed inspection is done. Our used extruders often include; gear box rebuilds, replacement of bearings and seals, barrel and screw repair or replacement, motors...
Demo: String a Small Extrusion Line
The extrusion process can sometimes be hard for those outside the industry to understand. It's one of the things that has to be seen to be understood! We thought it would be helpful to create a simple demonstration of an extrusion line in action. Our video is great to show friends & family and it can also be used as a training tool for your team. Using a 1st person point of view, we break the process down & highlight a few key points. Share and subscribe for more extrusion videos from AMS.
