The newly commissioned equipment is a Davis Standard 6" extruder, which began production on December 13, 2013. The installation of this extruder will add an additional 1,800,000 lbs. of reprocessed (pelletized recycled plastic resin) to the Company's monthly capacity. The machine is capable of processing post-consumer and post-industrial plastic.
"This is a great accomplishment for us to commission this extrusion line which will expand our capacity and capability to meet the increase in customer demands," commented AXION President and CEO Steve Silverman. 'This was the first major project for our new company and it was great to see this completed on time and within budget. With the addition of this extruder, we now operate 5 extrusion lines across 2 facilities, allowing us to provide value added products to our customers."
AXION recently announced the signing of a 3-year $42,000,000 contract to provide HDPE HMW to one of the largest thermoplastics companies in the US.
