The advantages of the reciprocating screw in processing heat-sensitive resins (if compared with a commonly used accumulator head) has brought Uniloy Milacron to introduce the UMR 20 PC as the most convenient technology for the production of the 5-gallon polycarbonate bottles. Besides the excellent quality of the bottles, this technology features a very quick start and production stability, resulting in a minimal percentage of rejects: which is extremely appreciated by the customers, on account of the high price of this resin.
