+600 kg/hour from existing extruders, and a recurring quality fault solved
The Challenge
Two extrusion lines each had a maximum throughput of 1,150 kg/hour. When both ran at full rate, product expansion swung between high on one line and low on the other, switching every few minutes. The fault was unresolved and held both lines back from running at their potential.
What we did
Mapped the whole process and traced the cause to a fault in the powder delivery system. Once that was corrected, the process was stable enough to push the lines harder.
The Result
Each line now runs at up to 1,450 kg/hour. That is a combined increase of 600 kg/hour (around 26%) from the same equipment, with the expansion swings eliminated.
