The Competence in Dust Less Blends
Overview of the specific features of the DLB concept, together with the associated benefits and their potential contribution to the business.
| Feature | Benefit | Main Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Dust Product |
Reduced explosion risk Cleaner, less hazardous Environment Faster grade changes Less cleaning time Minimal product lost into dust extraction cross-contamination risks reduced |
Safety Workforce comfort Productivity Reduced additive consumption Polymer quality |
| High Abrasion Resistance |
Handling robustness Educed risk of compaction during storage Retention of flow properties |
Productivity |
| Good Flow Properties |
Reduction in feeding problems Accurate dosing Ease of packing unloading |
Productivity Reduced additive consumption Handling |
| High Melting Rate |
Ease of incorporation into polymer Good dispersion in polymer |
Productivity Reduced additive consumption |
| Alloy Effect of Additives |
Wider application range for additives Ease of incorporation into polymer Pood dispersion in polymer Performance enhancement |
Wider formulation choice Productivity Reduced additive consumption Cost reduction |
| Wide Range of Formulations |
Lower additive levels possible Formulation optimization possible |
Increased profits Cost-performance benefits |
| Constant DLB Composition |
Less "Off Spec" polymer Reduced additive overdosing Consistent polymer properties Significantly lower QC costs Decrease in homogenization time Lower human error possibilities |
Increased profits Reduced additive consumption Less claims, product quality Increased profits Productivity Increased profits |
|
Low melting products Liquid products Non-melting products |
Less sticking clumping problems No need for separate liquid feeding Reduced dust, dispersion |
Productivity Hygiene, Performance |
| Single Pellet Formulations |
Less storage volume needed than powders One product replaces several Reduced human error Single contact supplier Reduced capital/equipment Reduced maintenance Production process simplification |
Reduced operational, logistics, admin and purchasing costs Increased profits Troubleshooting Reduced capital costs Reduced operating costs |
