Welcome to 2026 and welcome back to That Plastics Guy!

As we start the new year, now is a great time to plan your planned maintenance for all of your production equipment! Your main processing equipment, upstream and downstream equipment. Do it now and be proactive and avoid excessive down time.

It could also be an ideal time to look at staff training programs (both process and personal development).

Make 2026 a memorable year (for all of the right reasons)!

Join Kurt for the last Tech Tip Friday for 2025!

As the production hours wind down and equipment is shut down for the holiday break, Kurt suggests using a mechanic purge compound, which is safe to stay for an extended period of time in the screw and barrel.

Happy Holidays!!
