Polymaster Direct Packaging Unit

Alliance Pastex specializes in “ready sales” packaging of railcar products for our customers. The Polymaster is the industry’s leading on-the-run portable pneumatic conveying machine. This technology incorporates high speed bulk material conveying, without the risk of contamination. The Polymaster has the ability to transfer plastic pellets and resins at rates of up to 80,000 pounds per hour, and the capability to box 1,000 pounds of material per minute. Since the Polymaster is self-contained; polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC and PET are just a few of the types of products that can be conveyed. The Polymaster can also serve as a temporary backup system for shutdowns or system pluggage. We will package plastic pellets into Gaylord boxes, super saks, plastic crates, and many other types of containment.

Prime Material Transfers

Our Polymaster units are capable of transferring prime plastic from one railcar to another. These units can also remove plastic from railcars and load directly into pneumatic trailers or overseas containers. We have utilized these units to dry pellets that have gotten wet, blend two products together, improve production rates or replace in-plant loading systems during shutdowns, and they have even been used to screen and catch foreign objects in railcars such as a wrench or a bolt.

All of our units are exposed to only prime plastics. No colored or black pellets or flake are ever processed with these units. We maintain the highest level of quality control to insure that our customers’ products are kept at their prime state at all times during processing.

Load Sampling and Delivery

Alliance Pastex crews are experienced in working with our customers’ laboratories, bringing them samples of various products that need to be tested. We will send a crew of two men out in a transport vehicle to retrieve a sample from a railcar at an off-site location. These samples range in size from 30 oz. to 50 lbs. Once the samples have been gathered, they are delivered to a designated laboratory for analysis. Unlike our competitors, we provide on- call service 24/7.

Inspection/QC

Our customers count on Alliance Pastex to help them insure that their products are of the highest quality and free from contamination. We have trained personnel on-site, assigned to inspect pneumatic trailers that are sent in to vacuum materials from railcars. Once the paperwork has been confirmed and each compartment on the trailer has been visually inspected, our knowledgeable personnel take the pneumatic truck drivers directly to the proper railcar and insure that all plant safety practices are followed. Once the trailer has been loaded, we process the properly completed papers and deliver to our customers for review.

Our on-site personnel remain very active in our customers’ health and safety programs. We assist our customers with implementation and follow-up to processes and procedures regarding contractors. Alliance Pastex has helped to write many of the current in-house safety plans in use at our customers’ sites today.
