Resin drying, conveying, blending & complete systems

From Resin Pellet to Part

Resin is the biggest investment in your plant — and everything we make exists to protect it. From the railcar to the press, we build everything that carries your resin. Nothing more, nothing less.

Sec. 04 / 07 The difference

The difference

The Most Advanced Equipment. The Most Hands-On Support.

Resin is 55 to 75 percent of what a processor spends — several times the cost of the machines, the labor, or the energy. Every piece of equipment we make exists to protect that investment: receive it clean, store it dry, move it gently, prepare it exactly. Everybody else is looking at a share of your wallet. We're looking after your pellet.

Resin is 55 to 75 percent of what a processor spends. Bar plotted as a share of total processor spend, 0 – 100.

Common questions

Questions We Hear Most

Q·01 Can I buy just one dryer or one pump?

Absolutely. Most of what we sell is single equipment. Buy one unit or build a whole plant — same expertise either way.

Q·02 Not sure which model you need?

Tell us your resin, your throughput, and your process. We'll point you to the right fit.

Q·03 Where is it built and supported?

Engineered, manufactured, and supported in the U.S.

Q·04 Can you integrate with equipment we already have?

Yes. We're often brought in to work around what's already on your floor.

Q·05 What if something fails?

One number, one team. No vendor-to-vendor finger-pointing.
