Use in extruders and blow molding machines
(including inflation, sheets, compounds and extruders)

* Consult with us in advance to use this in the extruded film field.

  1. 1

    End of leading product processing

    Remove the leading resin from the hopper and drain it into the cylinder.

  2. 2

    Preparations

    It is not necessary to change the processing temperature of the leading resin if it is within the operating temperature range of the Z CLEAN™ being used.

    When using Z CLEAN™ S29, A1, or S58, remove the screen pack.

    The hopper should be carefully cleaned.

    For vented extruders, tighten the vent line/caps.

  3. 3

    Load Z CLEAN™ into the extruder.

  4. 4

    Loading, Cleaning and Replacing Z CLEAN™

    Raise the speed of the auger and confirm the in load on the motor and the resin pressure.

    When it is possible to allow a soak, the penetration of the surfactant is increased and the cleaning effect is increased (about 5-10 minutes).

  5. 5

    Loading the succeeding resin

    Set the processing temperature of the succeeding resin.

    Increasing the die temperature by 20 to 30C will make it easier to replace from Z CLEAN™ to the succeeding resin.

  6. 6

    Replacing to the Succeeding resin.

    Replace with succeeding resin until Z CLEAN™ is no longer visible.

    If both ends of the T-die are difficult to replace, increase the temperature at both ends from 20 to 30°C above the normal set temperature.
