	60 Ton Vertical / Horizontal Osciblend Moulding Machine
		A joint venture between Dassett, Betol Machinery and Brunel University over a number of years has now culminated in the development of a versatile, commercial machine known as "Osciblend". The compounding and injection moulding operations are united in a single machine thereby removing the need for multi-stage processing.

Features:

	The machine is built with a Borofused Twin Screw extruder and injection screw and barrel for wear resistance to abrasive materials as standard.
	The machine is offered in the horizontal configuration or in the vertical clamp split line injection configuration, depending on the requirement. A two position shuttle table is also available with the vertical machine as an added extra.
	Controls are by Allen Bradly P.L.C. and Panel View 900 screen. All setting and control are by means of the screen.

The machine has a standard tool storage system for up to twenty-four tools.

Advantages of Osciblend Moulding:

	Reduced heat and shear history of materials - important during the processing of thermally sensitive polymers, adhesives, fillers or fibres.
	Intense and controlled mixing necessary for dispersion of ceramic and metal powders possessing high inter-particle attractive forces.
	The ability to convey and mould highly filled ceramic or powder metal / polymer compositions.
	Effective transport of low viscosity melts such as wax formulations. Well defined functional steps including feeding, melt homogenization, devolatilisation and melt delivery stages.

This machine is now offered by Dassett Process Engineering Ltd as a commercially available product.
