Preparing for the New Year: Boost Your Production Efficiency with Upgrades, Dynapurge, and Spare Parts
As the new year approaches, it’s the perfect time to optimize your plastic operations for peak performance. By investing in upgrades, improving equipment reliability, and preparing for increased demand, you can set your production up for success. Here’s how:
- Upgrade Your Heating Solutions
Efficient heating is at the heart of every extrusion process. Modern heaters, such as advanced band and cartridge heaters, provide better heat transfer, energy efficiency, and durability. Upgrading your heating solutions ensures precise temperature control, reduces downtime, and enhances the overall quality of your output.
- Upgrade Temperature Sensors and Pressure Controllers
Accurate temperature and pressure readings are essential for consistent results. Self-indicating thermocouples and solid 10 plugs are excellent upgrades that can help prevent defects, improve safety, and optimize productivity.
- Upgrade to an Air-Cooled Shroud System Over Water-Cooled Shroud System
Looking for a cleaner, more efficient cooling solution? Transition to an air-cooled shroud system to eliminate water-related maintenance issues while improving heat dissipation. Air-cooled systems are easier to maintain, environmentally friendly, and deliver consistent cooling performance, keeping your operations running smoothly.

- Stock Up on Replacement Parts
Minimize unplanned downtime by keeping critical replacement parts on hand:
- Heater Bands and Thermocouples: Ensure consistent operation and accurate monitoring.
- Rupture Plugs: Maintain safety by regularly replacing these essential components.
- Melt Pressure Transducers
- Wire, Jacks, Plugs, Adapters, etc.
Partnering with Southern Heat Corporation gives you access to high-quality, compatible parts that keep your production line moving without delays.
- Invest in Advanced Control Systems
Take your operations to the next level with advanced control systems integrating data monitoring, process automation, and remote access capabilities. These systems enable you to:
- Monitor temperature, pressure, and flow in real time.
- Automate adjustments for consistent performance.
- Reduce manual intervention and human error.
With smarter controls, you can improve efficiency, reduce waste, and gain greater flexibility in your production process.
- Incorporate Dynapurge for Optimal Cleaning
Dynapurge, the industry-leading purging compound, is used several times a year and more than once between jobs to keep equipment clean and optimized. It removes residue, contaminants, and buildup from your equipment, extending its lifespan and improving performance. A cleaner machine reduces the risk of contamination, minimizes defects, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures smooth operations during peak production seasons.
Make the New Year Your Best Yet
From upgrading heating and control systems to cleaning with Dynapurge and stocking replacement parts, these proactive steps will position your operations for maximum success.
