A number of industries and markets can benefit from the use of liquid nitrogen for cooling a moulded polymer product. Companies that blow mould plastic bottles and containers, hose manufacturers, extruders/profile producers, and resin pellet producers can benefit from this technology.
Liquid nitrogen can increase production rates of moulded products. There are also quality benefits, because the dimensional stability of the moulded part is improved as the cooling of the polymer is controlled. Most of the cooling schemes require specialised liquid nitrogen injection, or delivery systems or equipment, which eliminate the use of cooling water, mechanical refrigerators, or large volumes of air, thereby reducing environmental issues while enhancing cooling performance.
Air Products specialises in custom injection systems, safe and efficient liquid nitrogen distribution and control systems, and safety training. |
