Mr. H.K Teong, Managing Director in Asia for Polymer Processing Systems at Nordson Xaloy Asia (Thailand), shares the company's directions in 2018
Nordson will be marketing its full range of PPS products, placing special emphasis on our extensive capabilities to provide localized supply and service for customers throughout Asia, including manufacture, sales, technical support, and customer trials, as well as aftermarket service such as spare parts, repair, and remanufacturing. All of the PPS product range is now readily available in the Asian marketplace. This includes BKG® underwater, water ring, and strand pelletizers; BKG® melt delivery components such as screen changers and gear pumps; Xaloy® screws, barrels, valves, and related plasticizing components for molding and extrusion; and EDI® dies and feedblocks for polymer extrusion and fluid coating.
  
With the startup in January 2018 of the new twin-screw pelletizer laboratory line in our Chonburi, Thailand facility, we will be able to provide prompt resin trials to customers across the region, including India, Southeast Asia, and Korea.  At the same time, we will be installing a pelletizer laboratory line at our Shanghai facility to serve customers in China.

Mr. H.K Teong, Managing Director in Asia for Polymer Processing Systems (PPS) 
 
For 2018, our promotions will focus on two new-generation products: The HiCon™ R-Type 250 melt filtration system for recycling highly contaminated plastics provides greater productivity than comparable machines on the market while maintaining constant melt pressure and product consistency. BlueFlow™ gear pumps provide up to 15% greater throughput than our standard gear pumps without an increase in rpm, and they deliver a more consistent and stable polymer melt for enhanced product quality. 
 
One of our newest EDI products is the SmartGap™ sheet die system, which enables manufacturers to make changes in thickness with unprecedented speed, extend the range of thicknesses that they can produce, and achieve these improvements while enhancing sheet quality. As for extrusion coating and cast film dies, our most recent successes have been with Indonesian and Thai processors, as well as global extrusion system OEMs. Another success story is the installation of a 6.25 m cast film die in Thailand—the largest triple manifold die in that country.
 
A number of industry trends affect our business. To offset the escalation in the cost of labor and raw materials, there is increasing demand for high-efficiency automated systems—as exemplified by Industry 4.0. Nordson has responded by designing new generation equipment with increased throughput, durability, and long working lifetimes.  The continued growth in renewable energy systems and energy conservation has caused Nordson to place special emphasis on energy-saving equipment designs. In addition, the booming demand for electric vehicles and other battery-operated systems has opened new opportunities for die systems that produce separator film for batteries or provide precision coatings for multilayer battery structures.
 
Another ongoing trend is what can be called the migration of technologies. For example, there continues to be a shift to slot die coating systems such as our Premier™ dies from older technologies like gravure, curtain, and roll coating. Similarly, in our Xaloy® business we see a shift from nitride to bimetallic barrels and screws. And the move away from conventional plastics to bioplastics has implications for all of our PPS brands. A new Xaloy® plasticizing package, for example, is designed specifically for processing PLA resins.
 
Nordson is in the midst of a worldwide expansion of its manufacturing and customer service capabilities affecting all of the PPS brands.  In Asia, this expansion has taken place at three locations: Shanghai, China; Chonburi, Thailand;  and Tokyo, Japan.
