Testimonials - Compounding

Karen W. is a Production Engineer for a major Nylon compounding operation. She describes the benefits of using chemical purging compounds from NOVACHEM from an engineer's perspective:

Our plant is a major Nylon compounding operation. We have eleven compounding lines that we have to purge a couple of times a week for product transitions and maintenance. And these are all good sized machines.

We look at purging all the time with an eye on minimizing the non-productive time we spend and reducing the cost of purging materials. So we've looked at a lot of things and we think NOVACHEM products are the way to go.

We like the approach NOVACHEM takes. They worked closely with my department to develop efficient standard procedures and to make sure we were using the right product for each situation. It was a bit of work but the payback has been outstanding.

Our cost accounting department has gone over last year's numbers for us. They say that when they compare our current purging costs to the last year before we started using NOVACHEM's products we're recovering 320 machine hours and we've reduced direct costs by $35,000 for the year.

Plus, the operators like the product. It's easy to use and it doesn't have any
odor problems.

For me the bottom line is that we've got a well engineered purging program here and NOVACHEM's chemical purging compounds are an important part of it. Both the company and the product have made my job easier.
