The
FlexCart Micro unit is designed to operate on non-
continuous processes that require small units and which
run with lower process throughputs.

PLANETPAK™ CONTAINERS AND
LN PACKAGING OPTIONS
The FlexCart suite of metering systems is designed
to work with the standardized PolyOne range of
packaging typically achieving 99% reliable yield on
continuous operating systems, while at the same
time also achieving a sustainable packaging format
in terms of full recyclability.
The FlexCart Micro unit,
due to its smaller footprint and reduced throughput
range, is designed to work with the LN molded polymer
containers—specifically the 10-liter pack.

Our
technology prevents moisture ingress, enabling a
100% dry-dry cable design.
Swellcoat Blocker yarns provide water-blocked
strength reinforcements for cable designs and can
absorb up to 15x its weight.
Once manufactured, fiber optic cable designed
with Swellcoat yarns is more reliable and can be
installed cleanly and efficiently.

THE SOLUTION
Because they knew Avient could help, the connector
company’s design engineers invited Avient into the
development process.
Avient’s service and support extended beyond the design
phase.
Avient’s technical representatives worked with the tool
maker to provide insight on venting, gate placement and other
tool design concerns to minimize the potential for any tool-
related problems.
