Extruded Plastic Capabilities
Capabilities Materials Cutting Edge Plastics
Capabilities, Extruded Plastic
During our more than 35 years in the plastics business, we have continued to develop and deliver innovative extruded plastic solutions that have solved problems for hundreds of leading companies in various industries. Our extensive experience in the plastics industry enables us to assist you in the design and creation of the essential elements you need to build your products.
Within our facilities, we design and build the tools, machines, and equipment to perform tasks such as lamination, tight tolerance cut-offs, and intricate secondary operations. Our thermoplastic extrusion equipment and technicians are second to none in the industry, and we are always pushing the envelope to identify, evaluate, and implement state-of-the-art techniques and processes to use in extruding plastic profiles. Our two machine shops provide our customers with extremely fast turnaround times.
We can deliver the following capabilities with extruded plastic profiles:
- Coextrusion
- Fabrication
- Embossing/Lamination
- Color Matching
- Injection Molding
|
- Punching/Notching and Packaging
- Stereolithography
- Powder Coating
- Twin Screw/Profile Line
|
Coextrusion:
For customers who are interested in a variation on our normal plastic profile extruding process, we offer coextrusion. This option is ideal when the design cannot be met with a single material. By combining several materials together, we can deliver one, unique product with new and exciting characteristics. Coextrusion can enable you to achieve the properties that could not otherwise be attained from a single material. The process can also help you save money by reducing the amount, and ultimately the cost of including more expensive compounds in the mix; and by allowing you to recycle scrap material, therefore lessening the amount of waste.
We have produced a number of exotic coextruded profiles; including soft elastomer sealing strips, among others.
Fabrication:
For a number of years, we have delivered quality fabricated parts and prototypes for leading companies in various industries. The tradition continues today as our skilled staff creates and provides you with these components on-time and at a price you can afford.
We offer:
- State-of-the-art AUTOCAD systems with 3-D solid modeling capability
- In-line laser quality measurement systems
- In-line ink jet and laser printing capabilities
- Various other machining technologies
Embossing / Lamination:
Are you interested in plastic profiles that look like another material such as wood? Our expert staff is highly skilled with in-line laminating. We can provide you with a wide array of colors and designs, and give your piece a completely finished look with lamination.
Color Matching
Keller is focused on delivering the colors that you want for your plastic profiles. Our skilled technicians are specifically trained in blending and color matching. And, our state-of-the-art equipment, which includes a Greytag MacBeth Coloreye 7000A Spectrophotometer, allows us to closely match within one Delta E on the Cie/Lab scale, the color and design you have in mind.
Injection Molding:
Do you require plastic profiles mated with injection molded components? We can deliver!
We have solid partnerships with companies whose products and services complement ours. Together with our partners, we are able to provide you with complete and quality products that you expect - on-time and at fair prices.
Stereolithography
If you can dream it, we can create it!
Using Stereolithography, we have the ability to convert two-dimensional CAD drawings into tangible, three-dimensional plastic prototypes within a matter of hours. This rapid prototyping technology, also known as 3-D layering or 3-D printing, enables us to help you gain a true visualization of how your profile will look upon completion. Stereolithography allows us to create a prototype, and work with you to make necessary design changes before you incur any production costs.
Powder Coating:
Some of our polymer systems are designed specifically for powder coating.
We are currently extruding plastic profiles that can be powder coated with conventional equipment. The resultant coating is a uniform, high-quality, durable coating that can be matched to other components. These powder coatable plastics are used in:
- Plastic trims or extrusions that mate to painted metal surfaces;
- Replace metal components with powder-coated plastic profiles; and,
- New designs in plastic extrusions with a wider palette
of color options using powder coating technology
Twin Screw / Profile Line:
We have a Twin Screw Profile Line that is capable of homogenizing various polymer alloys and producing a profile all in one step. For critical applications where you may want to add supplementary additive/polymer to an existing material and be insured of proper mixing, this line is capable of providing that service.

Cutting Edge Plastics
The process begins with an idea. That idea then needs to be tested for viability, and the Keller plastics Technology Center was developed just for that purpose. Equipped with numerous extruders and secondary equipment, this dedicated research and development center is the place where ideas become reality. In the past few years alone a wide variety of custom plastic profile applications have been developed here, including:
- “Green” Materials
- Wood Composites
- Antimicrobial
- Glow in the Dark
|
- Thermotropic
- Powder Coatable
- Shape Formable
- Nanotechnology
|
The future of plastics is exciting with seemingly endless possibilities. Industry research and development continues at breath taking rates to create 21st century plastics to better meet your needs. Just imagine, plastics that are as strong as steel but light and transparent; plastics that biodegrade safely; recycled-recyclable wood composites providing fire safe building materials for 21st century homes; plastic Nanotechnology providing solar energy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. And these are just a few of the developments in plastics today.
Earth-friendly Plastic Extruded Profiles
Advances in recycling programs and waste to energy technologies are bolstering public awareness and support for increased sustainable recycling programs and the development of better “earth-friendly” plastics. We utilize both post-consumer and post-industrial materials as well as bio-based resins in our plastic extruded profiles. Keller Products can help you get “Green” - we have the experience and the know how.
