Resin drying, conveying, blending & complete systems

Our only business is protecting and enhancing it, from the initial delivery to the throat.

The range, in order of the path

Material path

  • Some loss is built into the process.
  • The rest is preventable, and that's where we work.
Defects

Is your resin leaking profit?

  • Every one of these started upstream.
  • That's where we work.
  • Splay
  • Brittle parts
  • Warpage
  • Black specks
  • Voids
  • Short shots
  • Fines & dust
  • Angel hair

What we make

Wherever your resin starts — railcar, truck, silo, bag, or Gaylord — this is where it leaks, and what we make to stop it.

01

Receive

Novatec railcar unloading unit, product cutout Railcar unloading unit
  • Railcar & Truck Unloading
  • After the coupling, the resin's condition is yours
  • A rough unload adds fines and moisture before anything else can
  • Ours unloads it clean, dry, and without damage
02

Store

Two Novatec outdoor resin silos, product cutout
  • Silos & Surge Bins
  • Silos breathe humid air every time the temperature swings
  • Wet material at the wall stops matching the core
  • Ours keeps the air inside dry, however long it sits
03

Convey

Novatec vacuum pump skid, product cutout
Two Novatec vacuum receivers, product cutout
Novatec control cabinet with operator interface, product cutout
  • Conveying Pumps
  • Receivers & Loaders
  • Plant-Wide Controls
  • Every transfer is friction
  • Elbows shed fines, high line speeds make angel hair
  • Ours controls velocity so pellets arrive whole
04

Clean

Novatec cyclone dust collector, product cutout Cyclone dust collector
  • Dust Collectors
  • Fines and streamers don't leave on their own
  • Dust at the machine means black specks in the part
  • Ours pulls it out before the resin is blended or dried
05

Blend

Novatec gravimetric blender with feeder, product cutout
  • Blenders & Feeders
  • Virgin, regrind, color, and additives meet here by recipe
  • An off-spec blend wastes the most expensive part of it
  • Ours holds the recipe to tolerance and shows you the weight
06

Dry

Two Novatec portable resin dryers, product cutout Portable dryers
  • Dryers
  • Moisture Verification
  • Under-dried resin makes defective parts
  • Over-dried resin makes structurally compromised ones
  • Ours dries to a number, not a timer
07

To the throat

[PHOTO — resin entering the press throat]
  • This is where it stops being resin and starts being your part.
  • Delivered dry, blended to your recipe, and protected the whole way —
  • because getting resin to the throat is easy.
  • Getting it there ready is the job.

One unit, or the whole path

Every stage above stands on its own, or connects into one plant-wide system.

Buy a single unit or the whole thing.

We build both.

One unit or the whole plant — have it your way.

Buy a single unit. Or let us design, build, and install the whole path.

  • Specialists in every stage that touches your resin, from delivery to the throat.
  • Our engineers visit your site, design the piping and controls that connect it all, and manage it end to end.

When a system needs mold-temperature controllers, chillers, or granulators,

we bring in the best in each category — the specialists who make nothing else — to your spec.

The Knowledge Center: where processors solve resin problems.

  • Practical guides on drying, conveying, blending, and molding defects, written by the people who run the lab.
  • No sales pitch.

People came here this week because…

“…their parts came out splayed and the dewpoint read fine.”

Dewpoint Is a Dryer Output, Not a Resin Readiness Score

“…nobody could tell them what condition their resin was in when it arrived.”

Incoming Moisture: The Number Nobody Measures

“…the same recipe that worked in February was making scrap in August.”

Common questions

Questions we hear most.

Q·01 Can I buy just one dryer or one pump?
  • Absolutely. Most of what we sell is single equipment.
  • Buy one unit or build a whole plant — same expertise either way.
Q·02 Not sure which model you need?
  • Tell us your resin, your throughput, and your process.
  • We'll point you to the right fit.
Q·03 Where is it built and supported?
  • Engineered, manufactured, and supported in the U.S.
Q·04 Can you integrate with equipment we already have?
  • Yes. We're often brought in to work around what's already on your floor.
Q·05 What if something fails?
  • One number, one team.
  • No vendor-to-vendor finger-pointing.
  • Everybody else is looking at a share of your wallet.
  • We're looking after your pellet.
