Japan’s Toray Industries has taken delivery of a KBS20 type extrusion blowmolding machine from Germany’s Kautex Maschinenbau for research and development purposes. The resin supplier intends to use the equipment to develop heat-resistant automotive air ducts for turbocharger applications molded from polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) using the suction blowmolding process.

This is especially true for the interplay between materials and engine technology. For this reason we like to work very closely together with our customers on the development of new solutions.” This also convinced Toshiteru Nishijama, Manager for Automotive Products Business, Resins Global Marketing Department at Toray: “We were looking for a provider who not only produces good machines, offers high process reliability and good service, but who will also support us with their know-how in the R&D field.
