Labtex have successfully designed, manufactured and installed an automated PolyBlock 2 position block heater system at Solenis.
The system includes precision engineered jacketed heating blocks and vessels along with Huber Ministat temperature control, a Vacuubrand vacuum system and sophisticated automation software from HiTec Zang.
A very satisfied customer said:
“Our systems here at Bradford are now standard procedure for laboratory scale inverse emulsion and inverse suspension polymerisations, where we have been able to automate the processes to give us repeatability and reproducibility that mirrors our Bradford site production processes. On top of this we have developed programs enabling us to support Solenis global production processes, along with developing entirely new processes from the ground up.
Supporting both our Process Technology and R&D groups here at Bradford, the PolyBlock systems have been used for a whole range of project work including raw material approvals, recipe changes, plant troubleshooting alongside new product and process development.”
