Pressure and Vacuum Components for Plastic Extrusion

Pressure and vacuum systems are used in many ways during plastic extrusion, including unloading rail cars, moving material from silos and gaylord boxes, feeding extruders, and process air drying. In addition to designing and building blower and vacuum pump packages, we also maintain a large inventory of common components.

Plastic Extrusion Pressure & Vacuum Packages

For over 30 years pdblowers has been engineering pressure and vacuum solutions that move material and drive business. We work directly with both OEMs and conveying companies to meet design criteria. Once our customers provide the flow or pressure measurements for their specific application, our engineering team will work to accurately size and develop a pressure or vacuum package that will meet their need.
