Feedblock Cleaning & Servicing
The Cleaning Process
Feedblock cleaning generally takes about two days to complete. This process includes all safety protocols outlined in Die servicing and involves specialised cleaning tools to ensure thorough and efficient maintenance.
Ensuring Long-Term Efficiency
Proper care and occasional cleaning of Feedblocks help maintain their performance and reduce the impact of polymer build-up, ensuring reliable operation over time.
When Do Feedblocks Require Cleaning?
Unlike Dies, Feedblocks typically need less frequent servicing or cleaning. However, frequent shut-downs, particularly when using heat-sensitive or coloured additives, may necessitate more regular maintenance.
