PROCESS

High Impact polystyrene (HIP) in granule form is fed to the extruder through the hopper which conveys the material to the screw and barrel unit where the materials is melted and mixed thoroughly. This molten material is further conveyed and passed through the T-die where the sheet is extruded. This sheet thus formed is then pulled and rolled by the pulling unit. Specially deckling arrangements in the T-die gives user to adjust and vary the thickness and width of sheet.

The sheet thus formed (in rolls) is transferred to the automatic forming machine. The material in roll form is fixed to the roll stand and conveyed to the heating station by the roll chain mechanism. The sheet being heated with radiation heating system, with infrared ceramic heater. This roll chain further conveys the material to the forming station where the heated sheet is converted into the desired container with special forming techniques in specially designed water cooled mould which not only forms the container but also trims the sides. The trimming wastage is automatically wound by the scrap winder, which later on is ground into fine pieces and re-cycled back into the extruder with fresh HIP granules. Containers thus formed are attractively decorated with colours by dry offset printing machine.
