Plastisol Dispensing Pot
Application Study
Plastisols And The Hand Poured
Fishing Lure Industry.
The
hand poured fishing lure industry has been revolutionized
by anglers, hobbyists, and small manufacturers who experiment
with shapes, sizes, scents, colors, and designs that
can be tested and customized to perform well in under
local conditions.
Heating Plastisols Poses Problems:
Artificial worms are
manufactured with plastisols, which by their nature are
temperature sensitive. Manufacturers
experience difficulties when they mix plastisol, salt,
and other secret ingredients. The mix needs to
be heated and maintained at a specific temperature to
keep the material from burning or discoloring. Many
manufacturers use heated dispensing pots similar to a
crock pot that might be used to cook and serve dinner. On
the surface they seem adequate. They melt the mix
of plastisol, salt, and other ingredients, but some dispensing
pots fail to reach and maintain a constant temperature
on all interior surfaces. As a result, there are
significant temperature fluctuations between the non-commercial
grade dispensing pots, as well as between the top and
bottom of individual dispensing pots forcing manufacturers
to discard batches that are burned or discolored during
the heating process.
Sta-Warm Heated Dispensing Pots Provide The Solution
Sta-Warm’s heated dispensing pots are manufactured
with a low watt density heating element that provides close
temperature control. Sta-Warm heated dispensing pots
allow the manufacturer or hobbyist to mix the plastisol
and other ingredients together and then the material is
held at a constant, uniform temperature for up to 8 hours
during the molding process. Sta-Warm heated dispensing
pots not only eliminate waste during manufacture, but the
quality of the finished product is unparalleled. The
ability to hold proper temperature ensures that the colors
stay true from the first pour to the last, and the many
different ingredients added to the mix are safely preserved. Waste
is minimized, production costs are lowered, and productivity
goes up.
Heated Dispensing Pot Capacities
Sta-Warm can manufacture
a heated dispensing pot that fits your application, offering
pots in 2, 4, and 10 quart capacities. If
you application requires the heating and mixing of larger
batches of plastisols, we also offer a complete line of industrial
grade tanks, complete with agitation, and precise temperature
controls.
