Insulated Hoppers

OTX

Original Thermal Exchanger

OTX is an exclusive drying hopper designed with special patented geometry and unique thermos dynamic properties that allow optimal drying performance. The result of a dedicated R&D project undertaken to revolutionise how the resin is physically dried. OTX controls the granule flow and dramatically reduces residence time, airflow and hopper capacity assuring the most homogeneous treatment.

By installing a moisture meter box under the hopper, it shows residual moisture in PPM of the drying resin leaving the hopper before its transformation. When using OTX hoppers, hopper capacity needed will be 30-40% less compared to one of the standard insulated hopper in the market. (ie OTX 180 dm³ = 300 dm³ standard insulated hopper in the market). Each OTX hopper is finished with our spyro shockproof finishing, an integrated back filter, viewer, and an enlarged door and is suitable for applications up to 200°

Large units are equipped with an openable cone to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. They can be installed on trolleys or modular frames for easy connection to external pipes , filters and heating groups or on modular mezzanines to optimise the use of space in the processing areas. The OTX series compromised 27 sizes, ideal for any kind of need.

OTX together with XMAX dryer, FLOWMATIK airflow management system and moisture meter manager system create Eureka plus the most efficient drying system in the market,

Key Points:

  • Uniform drying treatment
  • Efficiency +66%
  • Spyro shockproof external finishing
"TH Plastics developed a bespoke solution for Kautex Unipart, primarily comprising Moretto equipment: blenders, dryers, hopper loaders, suction unit with sound enclosure, dust filters, material feed pipes and metal separators."

Engineering Manager

Kautex Unipart

"They helped us with everything; the design of the solution, what we might need, sourcing the kit, installation, integration and on-going support 24/7, 365 days a year. They guided us through the whole process which was great."

Manager

Xtex

"As a result of our initial dealings with TH Plastics, we had high expectations of the company, but I have to say that even these were surpassed. The quality of the workmanship was outstanding and the speed and safety with which the work was undertaken made the installation a joy to witness. And, when the installation was complete and the system was switched on, it worked perfectly immediately".

Advanced Manufacturing Manager

Kautex Unipart

"TH Plastics were excellent at every stage, from initial site visits and concepts to equipment supply and testing as well as the complete installation on site. I received a personal service from the outset. TH Plastics did a very good job; they did what they said they would and they did it extremely well."

Engineering Manager

BPI Rhymney

"I was particularly impressed at how proactive the team at TH Plastics were when we asked them to provide a reference site. They responded immediately and arranged for us to visit Maxell Moulding Services in Telford, where TH Plastics had delivered a factory move installation. The Manager at Maxell was extremely positive about TH Plastics and we were impressed with the standard of workmanship on site."

Productions Director

Fern Plastic Products

"The new materials handling and drying system TH Plastics designed has exceeded my expectations. It's significantly more efficient than we had at the site, so far yielding a 40% reduction in energy consumption and I expect that figure to increase in future."

Head of Production

Maxell Moulding Services

"TH Plastics has designed and developed a unique solution for our specific needs that has reduced labour costs, reduced energy costs, increased efficiency and uptime, and at the same time improved product quality. They have a unique way of working in the industry, providing a unique facility for prototyping and developing new concepts and solutions that no one else offers. Their team is the only company that I know that offers such a uniformed process from beginning to end. All the team are technical engineers with a commitment to solving customer issues and getting the best results."

Senior Production Engineer

Denso

“To move to the next level it was important to improve our efficiencies and TH Plastics provided us with that solution. They kept in constant contact and kept us up-to-date with the project. We have seen dramatic energy savings, even though we are running more machinery."

Owner

Wheatley Plastics

"It was a pleasure to work with TH Plastics on this project and they provided all their expertise and knowledge to regular meetings and workshops in order to design the most effective system for our program."
