Summary 1/2
Dust is a given fact in polymers
Well distributed, the dust is no problem,
(up to a certain level)
Every pipe transportation generates
dust, angel hair and more

Summary 2/2
The unloading hardware and
pellet storage and handling system is
much more important than expected
The pellet handling system should be in
the focus, to avoid time and production
loss, especially on extremely high
sophisticated extrusion lines!
