Steam conditioning plants for polyamide plastics

Enhance the durability and assembly readiness of polyamide components with precision moisture control using steam conditioning, reducing production times and improving product quality in your manufacturing line.

Conditions and Moisturizes Polyamide Plastics Efficiently

The JK Series Conditioning Autoclaves from ZIRBUS technology GmbH provides a unique solution for polyamide plastic conditioning, crucial for improving component performance in industries like automotive and consumer goods. Utilizing a vacuum-steam process, these autoclaves ensure rapid and even moisture penetration into plastics, resulting in higher quality end-products like nylon gears and plastic fasteners. With chamber volumes up to 2,500 liters, the JK Series accommodates varying production needs, from small batch operations to large-scale manufacturing. The stand-alone design and defined moisture increase optimize throughput while minimizing storage costs. Equipped with automated loading and unloading linked to ERP systems, these units ensure seamless integration into your production line. Material and surface drying are efficiently handled by integrated temperature and pressure sensors, while flexible process parameters allow for specific product customization. Built with durable construction, the JK Series is designed for longevity and reliability, providing consistent performance in demanding production environments.
