. . . some common problems

"Wonderful, another complaint from my customer for color variation in their bottles! Our wax based colorant varies throughout the lot from large flakes to fine powder, it can't be fed accurately, and no 2 bottles look the same."
National Accounts Manager – St. Louis, MO

"So now I have to buy cooling circulation units for all of my color feeders in order to prevent my wax based colorants from prematurely melting in the feeders. I suppose in the long run its cheaper then having to shut down to clean out the feeders every time it happens."
Blow Molding Manager – Los Angeles, CA

"My efficiency numbers are going to take a huge hit this week. We're running a job all week that calls for a high loading of wax based color, and screw slippage is guaranteed. We're going to have to shut down several times over the course of the week just to clean the screw!!!"
Director of Manufacturing – Fort Worth, TX

"I just had to grind up a whole truckload of bottles and sell them for scrap because of severe delamination. I simply just can't run wax based colors at high LDR's because the high amount of wax in the final bottle is not fully compatible with my PET resin."
Q A Manager – Miami, FL
