Executive’s Corner A Work of Art


Welcome to the latest issue of Extrusion Solutions.


January 22 was a special day here at ENTEK. On that day, we held a press conference here at our headquarters in Lebanon, Oregon, and introduced our all-new QC3


43MM twin-screw extruder. In addition,


we gave numerous presentations to educate our guests on the full range of ENTEK’s capabilities and showed off our facilities, including a complete tour of our machine shop and a walk through our new Line 11 battery separator facility.


It Takes a Great Team The introduction of the QC3


“


But it went further than that; they were also challenged to design


and build a work of art, a beautiful machine that stands out among the


rest. We feel with the QC3 43MM, we’ve done just that.


” 43MM was a big


deal for all of us, but especially for the team that spent many hours over the past couple of years researching, designing, and building this new machine. I can personally say it was an honor working with this dedicated group of professionals (see their photo in our new ad, which appears on p. 8). They were challenged many times to find what our customers wanted and needed in a twin- screw extruder, and then build a machine that will truly improve their operations.


But it went further than that; they were also challenged to design and build a work of art, a beautiful machine that stands out among the rest. We feel with the QC3


43MM, we’ve


done just that. This is an extruder that a materials compounder will be proud to have, a showpiece in their plant and a workhorse that is easier to maintain, easier to run, and will provide higher productivity and better quality end product.


We Hope to See You at NPE 2015


Another NPE show is upon us, and we are excited to introduce our new QC3


43MM


twin-screw extruder to the world. Come by our booth (W6486) and meet the team that designed and built our new work of art!


In addition to the new machine launch, we will also feature displays and information on our turnkey plant services, complete extrusion systems, replacement wear parts and aftermarket programs, and in-house lab services.


Stay tuned for more news in future issues of Extrusion Solutions on how ENTEK can better serve you and help you improve your operations.


As always, I encourage you to contact me anytime at khanawalt@entek.com.
