Evaluation ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ The shafts of the extruders from Steer can be produced by various extruder manufacturers installed at our company, allowing us to place bulk orders with Steer for easier management. By consolidating orders, we believe we can achieve cost savings that benefit our company as well. The durability of the shafts remains unchanged from the original, and the insertion of the screw elements has been completely problem-free. We appreciate the adjustments and modifications made to accommodate our requests, such as improvements to facilitate the insertion of our screws. Despite being manufactured in India, the lead time appears to be faster than that of the original products. K Company Executive, October 2024

We interviewed the executives of a major compounding company, "K," which has actually implemented the OMega series, about their reasons for adoption and its effects. Q: Among the many extruders for compounds, can you tell us why you chose STEER's OMega series? A: We believe that the recent labor shortages and the challenging production conditions due to day-and-night operations will continue. In this context, we chose the OMega twin-screw extruder, which has a deep groove type with a Do/Di ratio of 1.71 and offers advantages in production volume. Q: After implementing it, have you confirmed its effects? A: We confirmed that the OMega twin-screw extruder, sized the same as a typical twin-screw extruder under the same conditions, achieved a 30% increase in output per unit time under the same operating conditions. Q: Did you experience any benefits regarding manpower? A: We were able to secure the necessary production volume even with daytime operations alone, which helped to fill the gap of not being able to operate at night, thereby controlling the increase in labor costs. Q: What role does the OMega series play in your factory? A: The OMega twin-screw extruder is our main model. We intend to continue utilizing it for compound production in that capacity moving forward.
