Screw conveyor for Hubron International to handle carbon black fines used to enhance the production of black masterbatch.

Ajax screw conveyor expands black masterbatch production

Black Masterbatch is a homogeneous mixture of carbon black (virtually pure carbon in powder form) and additives. Black Masterbatch is used in the polymer industry as a pigment for plastic resins and to improve the mechanical, electrical, and UV-resistant properties of plastic products.

Solids handling equipment specialist, Ajax Equipment, has supplied leading black masterbatch producer, Hubron International, with a horizontal screw conveyor for handling fines as part of a new plant. Hubron’s Manchester facility utilises a range of Ajax solids handling equipment including screw feeders, hoppers and four FIBC big bag dischargers.

Commenting, Dave Waterhouse, engineering team leader at Hubron International said, "We have good long-term relationship with Ajax, having worked on many projects with Eddie and his team. Ajax deliver high quality equipment at competitive prices, and we are happy to have completed another project with them." "Ajax has had the pleasure of working with Hubron International over a number of years to expand and enhance their solids handling and processing capabilities. We wish them luck with the new plant," said Eddie McGee, managing director, Ajax Equipment.
