In flexible, multi purpose compounding operation changes from one process set up to another is very frequent. This requires different set up up break and downstream from one compounding line. Change over time is always critical.

However, it is very worthwhile to take some extra time and go through a functional check up and see that all the equipment is functional and turning in the right direction. To find mistakes after the start up can be very costly in terms of time and loss of material/production.
