New Auxiliary Systems Group Booklet Details advantage and novatec Equipment that Together Meet 70% of Plastics Processor's Total Auxiliary Equipment Needs

BALTIMORE, MD, June 6, 2007: A lavishly illustrated 24-page brochure presents many alternatives for equipping a plastics processing plant with an integrated system of equipment for drying, conveying, blending, temperature control, and process cooling, it was announced today by the Auxiliary Systems Group (ASG).

The ASG is an alliance between NOVATEC, Inc. and ADVANTAGE Engineering, Inc., whose combined product ranges account for about 70% of the total auxiliary equipment investment for most processing operations. The new brochure describes the range of equipment configurations and control options available from the founding companies through the ASG, which provides complete project management from system design through installation.

Topics covered in the brochure include:
o Unique role of ASG as system supplier. Information in the brochure shows that the alliance differs from auxiliary-equipment "department stores" by enabling processors to obtain the advantages of single-sourcing while benefiting from the depth of technology and breadth of product selection available only from specialized suppliers such as ADVANTAGE and NOVATEC. Also cited are the experience of project managers, ASG's network of sales agents, the integrated controls program created by the founding companies, and the single interface for customer contact with ASG.
o NOVATEC resin-handling systems. The brochure outlines the industry's broadest selection of resin drying technologies and a full range of conveying and blending equipment. Detailed schematics show six different types of resin handling system and two configurations of system controls. Also illustrated is the company's Drying Technology Center, the only laboratory for scientifically comparing the performance of different resin drying systems.
o ADVANTAGE heat-transfer and temperature-control systems. Illustrated are system components including chillers, cooling towers, temperature controllers, condensers, pump tanks, filters, and cooling system controls. Detailed schematics show six different cooling systems.

AUXILIARY SYSTEMS GROUP (ASG) provides project management services for the engineering, procurement, installation, and technical support of auxiliary equipment systems for plastics processors. Operating as a strategic working alliance, ASG was founded by ADVANTAGE Engineering, Inc., a specialist in heat transfer and temperature control systems, and NOVATEC, Inc., which focuses on resin handling systems. These companies are the sole partners in the alliance, but companies specializing in other types of auxiliary equipment may become participating members. ASG is represented by manufacturing representatives throughout the United States. Telephone: 1-866-252-6370. Email: info@auxsystemsgroup.com. Visit the ASG website at www.auxsystemsgroup.com.
