Applications across: Plastic Compounding • Extrusion • Moulding • Resin Handling • Rubber Compounding • Masterbatch • Regrind & Recycled PlasticsMaterials we handle: Polymer pellets, resin powders, plastic flakes, regrind, rubber granules, fillers, pigments, calcium carbonate, carbon black, stabilizers, and process additives.

Empty bags and containers with less dust

Empty resin, fillers, and additives from bags or drums with less dust and handling.

Equipment: Bulk bag unloaders, bulk bag conditioners, bag dump stations, box & drum tippers, and sealed connectors.

Stop leaks at transfer points

Contain powders at vibrating, weighing, and moving transfer connections.

Equipment: BFM snap-in fittings, spigots, blanking caps, weighing bellows, flexible hoppers, breather socks, and Siftex sleeves and connectors, selected for the material and operating conditions.

Move material through the plant

Move pellets, powders, and suitable regrind between receiving, storage, and production.

Equipment: Flexible and rigid screw conveyors, vibratory conveyors, bucket elevators, tubular cable conveyors, pneumatic/vacuum conveying, and thermal conveyors, selected for the material and duty.

Fill bulk bags cleanly and accurately

Package compounded powders, granules, and recovered material more consistently.

Equipment: Bulk bag fillers, bulk bag loading connectors, weighing systems, dust extraction, and filling arrangements for bulk boxes and drums.

Feed and dose at the right rate

Reduce variable additive dosing and unstable feed into blending or production.

Equipment: Volumetric and gravimetric feeders, screw feeders, vibratory feeders, rotary airlocks, and gate & diverter valves.

Screen out lumps and oversize

Remove lumps and oversize from suitable resin, filler, and regrind streams.

Equipment: Vibratory screeners, classifying and scalping screens, sieves, and deblinding systems, matched to particle size, moisture, and required separation.

Mix and blend consistently

Improve consistency when blending dry ingredients or preparing suitable liquid additives.

Equipment: Dry mixers and blenders, high shear liquid mixers, homogenizers, emulsifiers, disintegrators, dissolvers, and powder/liquid mixing systems for suitable formulations.

Move process air and ventilate

Address heat, fumes, dust, and corrosive air in process exhaust areas.

Equipment: FRP centrifugal fans, axial fans, blowers, silencers, and custom acoustic enclosures, selected for the airflow, pressure, temperature, and exhaust composition.

Remove tramp metal and recover value

Protect downstream processing equipment and reduce metal in finished compounds.

Equipment: Permanent and electromagnetic overhead magnets, magnetic head pulleys, drum magnets, and metal detectors; eddy current separators for suitable non-ferrous recovery duties.

Break lumps and refine particle size

Break agglomerates in suitable powders before further processing.

Equipment: Lump breakers, hammer mills, fine grinders, and air classifier mills. Selection depends on hardness, abrasion, feed size, temperature sensitivity, and the target final size.

Capture dust at the source

Capture dust from powder charging, additive handling, and transfer points.

Equipment: Dust collectors, bin vents, dust collector retrofits, cyclones, filter receivers, scrubbers, and severe-duty cyclones, selected for the material and exhaust duty.

Know when bins and tanks are full

Monitor resin silos, additive bins, and suitable liquid tanks.

Equipment: Point level switches and continuous level sensors and transmitters for bulk solids in bins and silos, and liquids in tanks and vessels.

Collect samples with less interruption

Collect samples of suitable powders or granules for quality checks.

Equipment: Automatic samplers for gravity flow, pneumatic lines, and static material, matched to the material and sampling requirements.

Prevent freezing and maintain temperature

Prevent freezing and maintain required temperatures in suitable utility or additive lines.

Equipment: Britech heat trace cables, temperature controls, sensors, and accessories, selected for the pipe, insulation, temperature, and site conditions.

Get bins and hoppers flowing

Address bridging and interrupted discharge in powder or regrind hoppers.

Equipment: Bin activators, Air Sweeps, vibrators, vibratory feeders, and live bottom screws, selected for the material and hopper conditions.

Address combustible dust hazards

Review protection where polymer, rubber, or additive dust is combustible.

Equipment: Explosion vents, flameless venting, suppression, and isolation systems. RTS can coordinate a dust hazard analysis (DHA) and application review with specialist partners.

Handle process liquids and additives

Transfer, filter, mix, and monitor suitable liquid additives and process liquids.

Equipment: Liquid mixers, liquid filters, level sensors, liquid feeders and dosing pumps, transfer pumps, tanks, vessels, and heat exchangers, matched to the application.

Coordinate equipment and startup

Coordinate new handling systems or retrofits around the production layout.

Support: Application review, equipment selection, supplier coordination, installation planning, commissioning assistance, troubleshooting, and DHA coordination with specialist partners where relevant.

Match the Equipment to Your Application

Polymer type, pellet or powder size, bulk density, moisture, conveying distance, additive ratio, temperature sensitivity, abrasion, and contamination.

Send a photo, sketch, or layout if available. We coordinate with manufacturers to review suitable equipment, available testing, and the requirements of your selected configuration.
