Challenges for Plastic

　　Linde is highlighting the PRESUS(TM) family of precision metering, cooling, pressure boosting and control systems at the 2012 National Plastics Exposition (NPE), April 2-5 in Orlando, FL:

　　1) DSD 500 high-pressure metering system for extrusion foaming

　　2) High-pressure N2 boosting system for gas assist injection molding

　　3) Cost-effective, high-pressure system for CO2

　　4) Spot cooling device for mold hot spots

　　Precision cooling and pressurizing systems are important for manufacturing a range of engineered plastics parts for automotive, aerospace, electronics, appliances and MIL-spec applications. The N2 or CO2 may cool the polymer product from in- or outside a mold, or just focus on a specific spot.The Linde Group is a world-leading gases and engineering company with around 50,500 employees in more than 100 countries worldwide.
