Technical Details & Test Data
- Purging Guidelines
- Typically there is NO need to modify the back pressure or temperature settings on the process equipment
- Empty the barrel and clean the feed throat
- Once the machine is empty - Place a small amount of resin in the feed throat (depending on the size of the machine - just enough resin to cover the top of the screw)
- Insert the entire iD Quick Shots® package directly into the feed throat (Again, depending on the size of the machine - divide the suggested dose to feed evenly and complete this process until the entire barrel is charged - See DOSING instructions)
- Normally only one barrel capacity is required for a well maintained machine - Older equipment and more di_x001f_cult applications may require an additional purge cycle
- During this process there is a scouring reaction that is breaking down the degraded polymer in the barrel and on the screw. Soaking is not required but do not rush through this process - Allow the iD Quick Shots® to travel through the barrel at a regulated rate
- Once the barrel is completely charged with resin/purge take short bursts with the screw rotating to allow the iD Quick Shots® to get into all the dead spots of the screw and barrel
- The purging process is complete when there is no visible contaminants emerging from the nozzle
- After the purge cycle has been completed - Add the next resin to prime the barrel and remove any residual purge/resin from the barrel and screw.
- Typical dosages are: 1oz. for every 10/lbs. of resin or 1oz. for every 1 inch of screw diameter.
- For machines requiring more than one package to purge - Place a small amount of resin into the feed throat and the _x001e_rst package (place the entire package into the feed throat - there is no need to open it); add at least enough resin to charge a proportionate amount of the barrel and then add the second package; continue this process until all packages have been used; and _x001f_nish by charging the barrel with resin.
