Rubber Compounding Bags

Batch Inclusion film or bags derive their name from the
fact the bag itself along with contents is actually
included in the production batch or during rubber
compounding. The bag once melted and dispersed in the
molding process becomes part of the product being made.
Batch inclusion bags typically hold chemical additives for
large scale industries such as synthetic rubber and plastic
compounding. Often the additives involved are difficult to
handle and weigh to little or are hard to dispense
automatically. These could include colorants, fillers,
resins and even some polymers for large scale mixing.
Because the bag and its contents become part of the batch
meaning the material make up of the bag or film will be
evenly dispersed throughout the banbury process. The user
will realize a cleaner environment along with other
benefits such as reduce labor cost, reduce disposal cost
and clean up cost, better hygiene. The bags or film has a
number of benefits like more efficient use of raw materials
and a more consistent mixtures of compounds. Also, you will
find the use of material in a sealed bag allows for a
reduction in storage space when compared to an open
container such as metal containers or plastic containers
and sometimes paper bags. As sealed bags can pile in a bin,
cardboard boxes, tubs, or carts. What has happened with the
bags is that they have started to do is color code them for
two reasons which are to identify the proper materials are
going into the batch and also to make sure the material
becomes dispersed in the batch as it is mixing.

Benefits of using Batch Inclusion Bags are improve quality
and batch uniformity insures 100% compound ingredients go
into the mixing of the material when doing in house
weighing, batch inclusion bags eliminate the risk of
cross-contamination due to chemical residue in tubs and
weighing containers. Speeds up production so the operator
does not spend time cleaning up after each batch is poured
into the process. Will increases productivity and
eliminates the need to weigh ingredients in-house through
the use of having the product weighed and ready to be
thrown into a batch of rubber which eliminates the need to
clean out tubs and weighing containers also reduces the
amount of solid waste disposal going into the land fills.
You will have less product loss due to spillage and
minimizes the accumulation of costly additives in the dust
collectors. The idea is to minimizes worker exposure and to
provide improved manufacturing processes through the use of
the batch inclusion bags because now it is part of the
product.
