Intensified Ribbon Blending of Melamine Compounds Cuts Cycle Times 25% for Furniture Molder

From Munson Machinery Company, Inc.

Melsur Corporation, the world's leading supplier of hard plastic melamine school furniture, molds components from a mixture of resin, wood flour and pigments. Each of the 32 color variations, 30 products and custom designs must be blended individually, a process that can take up to four hours, depending on product. Anything less than empirically defined cycle times alters the final color and produces blemishes in the finished product.
