Heating and Temperature Control Applications for the Plastic and Rubber Industries
HEAT, Inc has experience in designing and manufacturing thermal fluid systems, electric process heaters, and tank heating systems that interface with a variety of process equipment such as presses, extruders, dryers, ovens, mixers, rolls, tanks, and reactor vessels for the Plastic and Rubber Industries.
Click on an application below to learn more about how HEAT equipment is used to provide temperature control to each process
Compounded Plastic Resin

Compounded Plastic Resins are made by mixing resins with various additives and then sending the mixture through a hot oil heated extruder. The extruded product is the dried and sent for further processing. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
View DetailsFoam Cushions

Foam Cushions are made by mixing various raw materials in a hot oil heated reactor and then shaping the mixed, reacted product on a forming belt. The formed product is then cut to length and final processed. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
View DetailsHot Melt Adhesives

Adhesives are made by mixing various raw materials in an hot oil heated reactor vessel and then cooling down the product for final processing and packaging. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
View DetailsMan Made Fibers

Synthetic or Man-Made Fibers are made by sending raw materials through a heated extruder and series of drawing rolls to achieve the final product dimensions. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
View DetailsNonwovens

Nonwovens are made by mixing and extruding raw materials onto a lay down web former with hot oil heated process equipment. The product is then sent over a series of oil heated calendar rolls for final processing. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
View DetailsPlastic Sheet & Film

Plastic Sheets or Films are made from hot oil extruded plastic resins that are cooled and then stretched over heated rolls to their final dimensions. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
View DetailsRIM Foam Insulation

The RIM Foam Insulation process combines specialized polymers and a catalyst in the presence of heat to create polyurethane based insulation panels. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
View DetailsRotational Molded Plastic

Rotational Molding involves a heated, hollow mold which is filled with plastic beads or pellets. The mold is then heated and rotated in multiple directions. The mold is then cooled and the product is extracted. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
View DetailsTire Retreading

Tire Retreading is a re-manufacturing process in which worn tires are refurbished with new treads via a hot oil heated molding and/or curing process. Click to see how HEAT equipment provides temperature control to this process.
