Today, there are hundreds of types and blends of plastics, and they can be formed, molded, extruded, blown, and otherwise fashioned into a dizzying array of products. But at every stage of their processing — from the production of raw chemical ingredients; to their blending and polymerization to produce pellets, sheets, or blanks; to the forming of finished products — processing equipment must be precisely controlled to ensure the quality, durability, and finish of final products.
Whether used with motors for pumps, conveyors, compressors, blowers, or other plastics processing equipment, variable frequency drives (VFDs) provide the precise control of speed and/or torque required for a broad range of plastics processing applications.
