AERT Upgrades Springdale Plant
Advanced Environmental Recycling Technologies Inc. of Springdale said it has successfully begun production of its latest generation “two-up,” multiple-profile composite extrusion machinery at its Springdale South manufacturing facility.
The plant, which started in May, incorporates technologies designed to increase throughputs, improve operation efficiencies and reduce manufacturing costs.
Production rates have steadily increased as the new line was calibrated for wood/plastic composite product extrusion.
The new extrusion line is designed to run two products simultaneously in lengths of up to 20 feet at a combined rate of up to 10,000 pounds per hour.
AERT uses recycled polyethylene plastic in the manufacture of composite building materials.
