Clean Injection Molding & Extrusion Equipment — Fast

Unlike chemical, carrier-resin, or lubricating purges,  Pekutherm®  mechanically removes contamination with physical, thermoelastic action rather than delivering a superficial clean—ensuring cleaner machinesfaster startups, and virtually no hidden contamination now or in future production runs.

Transform Your Production Process

Since 1985, UniTemp has been revolutionizing the injection molding and extrusion industries with effective mechanical-action purging compounds.

 

Our products help manufacturers streamline operations while maintaining the highest standards.

Why Choose UniTemp?

Production Downtime Costs More Than Many May Think.

Unwanted residue left behind during material and color changeovers leads to scrap, delays, and inconsistent results. Traditional purge compounds often contaminatesmear, or leave lubricant behind instead of removing it — creating more problems downstream.

Cost Efficiency

Reduce scrap rates and enhance your quality control processes significantly.

User Friendly

Easy to use, our products are designed with the operator in mind.

Technical Support

Receive expert guidance and support for all your technical queries.

Free Samples

Pekutherm® Case Studies & Reviews

Pekutherm ULT has dramatically improved our EPDM and Silicone Rubber changeovers. The ability to purge at Ultra-Low Temperature such as 175°F, is a game changer for our process. We’re now saving significant raw material and labor, as the previous scrubbing during screw pulls is virtually eliminated. Over the year, this will reduce costs, increase our up time, and keep our extrusion line running efficiently.  (Uses Pekutherm® "ULT”)
