· The company is bringing to market an even smaller pellet that optimizes dispersion, integrates more efficiently, and significantly enhances the quality of the final product, free from visual irregularities.
· The ability to produce small batches also facilitates color and property customization, enabling Delta Tecnic's customers to quickly adapt to market demands and specific application needs.
Barcelona, 12 September 2024 — Delta Tecnic, a leader in masterbatch manufacturing for the plastics industry, is launching a new product into the market: the Super Small Pellet (SSP). This innovative solution represents a significant advancement in masterbatch technology by offering substantial improvements in color homogenization and efficiency in transformation processes.
Pellet size is a crucial factor in masterbatch manufacturing. Traditionally, the market has used standard granules, which, while functional, have certain limitations in color dilution and homogenization in final products for specific applications. Over time, Delta Tecnic has developed different pellet sizes, ranging from micropellets to small micropellets (SMP). Now, the company takes another step forward with the release of the Super Small Pellet, an even smaller pellet designed to optimize dilution.
Due to its smaller diameter, the Super Small Pellet integrates more efficiently, covering the same color surface area with a greater number of small particles rather than fewer larger ones. This significantly enhances the quality of the final product, ensuring visual uniformity without irregularities.
Minimizing issues in component mixing
In the PVC industry, where raw materials are often in powder form, the use of large pellets can lead to settling issues, where heavier grains settle at the bottom of the mix. The SSP addresses these challenges by offering a more uniform size, minimizing such problems. Additionally, reducing pellet size facilitates better integration into the mix, preventing segregation issues and ensuring a homogeneous distribution of color and additives.
The SSP is manufactured using an advanced process distinct from traditional cryopellet production, which typically involves cryogenic grinding. This new manufacturing method reduces the generation of fine particles, which enhances product quality and improves worker safety by minimizing the risk of inhaling fine particles. Smaller particles are less likely to be inhaled during handling, reducing the need for workers to wear masks during grinding processes.
The versatility of SSP in particle size allows production from small batches of 25 kilograms to large volumes as needed. This flexibility is particularly advantageous in manufacturing PVC films, compounds, and rigid profiles, where achieving optimal dilution is critical. Moreover, the ability to produce small batches supports customization of colors and properties, enabling Delta Tecnic's customers to swiftly meet market demands and specific application needs.
Furthermore, the SSP production process has a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional methods because it eliminates the need for mills and other energy-intensive equipment. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also promotes sustainability by reducing resource consumption and waste generation. By minimizing energy requirements and waste production, SSP represents a more eco-friendly option for plastic manufacturers.
The launch of the Super Small Pellet marks a milestone in the masterbatch industry, offering innovative solutions that enhance quality, efficiency, and sustainability. Delta Tecnic continues to lead with products that meet current market needs and create new possibilities for the future of the plastic industry. With SSP, the company reaffirms its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence, providing customers with tools to improve manufacturing processes and the quality of their final products.
