Automatic Pick & Place Preplasticizer



The NMI Automatic Preplasticizer is a self contained, stand-alone unit that can be interlocked
with any make of compression molding press. It runs such thermoset resins as phenolics, ureas,
epoxies, polyesters, and many others - by itself without the need of an operator.
If your process calls for them, inserts can be handled automatically by a field-proven inserting
function. Automatic unloading is available as an option.
If you are running dry powders now, you can realize productivity gains from between 35 and
60 per cent. You won't require expensive tablet making machines or RF heaters, either. And, you
will be able to use less expensive materialsbecause NMI Preplasticizer assisted equipment
produces a finished part with greater structural integrity and improved surface finish.
For an economical alternative, ask about the NMI Portable Plasticizer - it provides many of the
same benefits and can be moved easily from machine to machine.
