The line includes a twin screw extruder, BKG\u00ae pelletizer, Optigon\u2122 self-cleaning process water and pellet drying system, and jet cleaner for removing polymer residue from die plates. Both underwater and water ring pelletizers are available for testing. Melt delivery components include three HiCon\u2122 screen changers (backflush, continuous, and discontinuous types), a BlueFlow\u2122 gear pump, and a HyFlex\u2122 diverter valve. For evaluating materials to be processed, the facility also provides rheological analysis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new BKG technical center is the latest example of Nordson\u2019s global commitment to support the needs of customers and prospects with local, state-of-the-art laboratories,\u201d said Kevin Tuttle, business director for the Americas. \u201cThe move is part of our company\u2019s overall strategy for business growth and our continued investment in the BKG Americas business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The laboratory enables existing and prospective customers to see BKG systems in operation for comparison with competing products, evaluate new formulations, carry on application development, and train equipment operators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new Nordson BKG laboratory at Hickory enables customers and prospects to do application development and test runs without sacrificing productivity in their own plants,\u201d said Merritt Christian, market development manager. \u201cUse of the laboratory is available on a rental basis, and processors can test new technologies in the strictest confidence.
