Whitaker Technical Plastics: New compounding line
Whitaker Technical Plastics has moved to a new custom-built factory to accommodate a new twin screw compounding line. The company has bought a 58 mm NFM Welding Engineers line to develop compounds incorporating fillers, additives and modifiers, and polymer alloys. The new line cost more than £500,000 and includes water baths, pelletisers, air knives and packaging facilities. The company’s existing range of static dissipative and conduct products will continue to be made on a 48 mm Prism twin screw line.
