Formulating fresh ideas, defining new ways of doing things, sponsoring progress: the people of Glycon never stop looking for new ways to help our customers.
Product & Process Development
As processors gear up for production on a new project, Glycon's dedicated Product Development Center has the resources to help optimize screw performance, testing several different designs and then zeroing in on the best melting and mixing combination. Or, if a molder is having a problem with splay or burning, or if an extruder is not getting proper mixing or sufficient throughput, technicians at the Center, can reproduce these problems under controlled conditions and quickly find ways to attack the problem through the application of the latest screw and processing technology.
Runoffs & Mold Trials
To avoid tying up profitable production equipment in time-consuming machine runoffs and mold trials, Glycon technicians can work with customers to optimize performance in our facilities before production begins.
Rebuilding Services
Glycon experts can help extend the life of costly meltstream components. Feedscrews can be rebuilt to match original performance specifications. Barrels can be resleeved to original dimensions. Other components, like our QSO® non-return valve, can be rebuilt. All done quickly and with the highest standard of quality.
Operator Training
To make certain you're getting maximum performance and quality from your meltstream system, Glycon can help train your staff in effective setup and operation. We can provide training in your plant or at our Product Development Center.
Preventive Maintenance/Installation
Glycon can assist with setup and maintenance of your feedscrew and related meltstream components. Our 10-Step Field Service Program streamlines setup and checks that your feedscrews are operating correctly. We can also design a maintenance program to reduce downtime and keep your systems operating as efficiently as the day they were installed. And we can train your maintenance personnel or implement the program ourselves.
