He was the best they had.He taught me well. I can run fep with a 30 psi pressure deviation, since we have never had the use of pressure feedback or a melt pump I'd say thats pretty good. I have currently fixed all problems except one. A better sizing plate. By the way Donna says Hi. I need to find a better way to size np20 with 12% barium. Keep on getting lines from build up on sizing plate. IP: Logged
louis33 Senior Member Posts: 138 From:Allentown, PA - USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted September 21, 2005 08:37 AM I'd say start looking at what is causing the build-up. Has it always been the same or has it changed? If it has changed, look into the compounding process. Another alternative would be to eliminate the sizing bushing. Perhaps a non-contact sizing method similar to what is used for sizing tacky materials might help. Say hello to Donna IP: Logged
