fiber extrusion process. Designed specifically for a client who sought to reduce variation in coating strands, the system focused on optimizing pump integration while also supporting angled drive trains to achieve superior system performance. Although the available space for the system was tight, the careful incorporation of the pumps allowed for precise gauge control over each individual strand, ultimately ensuring consistent and uniform material application across the entire production process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Process<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Constructed custom manifold block with four-pump and angled drive train mounting capability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Produced custom shaft seals for melt pump gears to reduce radial loading from angled driveshafts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Modeled full system assembly from client model and interface schematics<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Collaborated with client to define project scope and optimize design for functionality<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Created 20+ production drawings and documents including:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Bill of Materials (BOMs) for accurate part sourcing and inventory management<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Assembly instructions &amp; exploded views for manuals and maintenance guides<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Technical documentation &amp; fabrication-ready drawings (including GD&amp;T for precision machining) to support vendors and manufacturers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Design Tools<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #595853;\">Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d362ee e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0d362ee\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4ca12d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4ca12d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #595853;\"><a style=\"color: #595853;\" href=\"https:\/\/xtrude-works.com\/?page_id=804\">\u2190\u00a0 Portfolio Home<\/a><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore our portfolio to see how we specialize in machine and component design across the Polymer, Medical, and Food industries, bringing a deep-rooted expertise in plastic extrusion processes.
