Back Cover 2 W A T L O W Industry Segment Overviews Plastics Processing Industry Plastics Processing Plastics Processing Industry Segment Overviews Selecting the right auxiliary equip- ment can assist the plastics proces- sor's goal of higher productivity and greater yields. It is more than just the cost of heaters, sensors or con- trollers; it's performance that counts. With Watlow's thermal components processors can count on less down- time due to increased heater reliabil- ity; and a reduction in operating costs due to energy conservation - both of which help achieve greater output. Watlow has provided plastic processors with product innovations for injection molding, thermoforming and extrusion operations and blow molding for more than 50 years. Quality, innovation and reliability are the hallmarks of our family of heaters, sensors and controllers. Watlow provides not only traditional thermal solutions, but also innova- tive, high-performance technologies to meet the specific processing demands of industries such as auto- motive, medical and packaging, requiring highly-engineered resins and tight tolerances. Whether OEM, custom or captive processor - Watlow has your thermal solution with our traditional prod- ucts, new technologies, engineering services and global manufacturing capabilities. 3 Industry Segment Overviews Injection Molding Injection molding is the most versatile Products like our barrel heaters are of all plastics processing methods ideal for highly engineered or filled and is used to make a wide variety of resins that require higher tempera- products.
