Andruss Peskin Corporation, known throughout New England’s plastics manufacturing community as AP Corp., stands as the region’s premier sales engineering firm specializing in the application, specification, and integration of precision equipment for plastics processing. Their reputation is built not merely on the products they represent but on a depth of technical understanding that reaches into the heart of modern plastics manufacturing. From injection molding and extrusion to blow molding and system upgrades, AP Corp. provides the knowledge and engineering insight that manufacturers depend on to achieve consistent quality, process reliability, and production efficiency.
In an industry where precision defines success, AP Corp. has become the trusted partner for plastics manufacturers seeking solutions beyond off-the-shelf. Their approach begins with understanding the intricate relationships among process temperature, pressure, and material behavior. Every molding or extrusion system presents a unique set of challenges—from maintaining melt uniformity and controlling flow dynamics to reducing material waste and improving product consistency. AP Corp. excels at matching the right sensors, controls, and components to each of these variables, creating a tightly integrated system that responds quickly and accurately to production demands.
When a plastics processor asks, “How can I improve control over my extrusion line?” AP Corp. has the technical depth to answer with precision. They understand that extrusion systems live or die by their ability to maintain consistent melt pressure and temperature across multiple zones. That’s why they specialize in extrusion pressure transducers, the critical components that measure and relay pressure data from within the melt stream. By providing real-time process feedback, these sensors enable operators and control systems to adjust parameters instantly, protecting equipment and ensuring uniform output. In New England’s competitive plastics sector, where tight margins and quality expectations leave little room for error, the difference between an average transducer and a correctly specified one can determine both product quality and profitability.
Quality assurance in molding and extrusion doesn’t end with process control—it extends into material testing and validation. AP Corp. supports this need with advanced polymer evaluation instruments, including melt flow indexers and capillary rheometers. A plastics manufacturer might ask, “What’s the best way to measure the flow characteristics of a new resin formulation?” and AP Corp. can walk them through the use of melt flow indexers, which determine how a polymer will behave under specified load and temperature conditions. For more detailed analysis, they offer capillary rheometers that measure viscosity, shear rate, and flow stability, providing engineers with the data they need to fine-tune formulations and predict performance during processing. This blend of measurement capability and material understanding forms the backbone of proper process optimization—and it’s where AP Corp.’s engineering roots shine brightest.
Beyond the laboratory, AP Corp. brings a systems-level view to plastics manufacturing. They know that even the best sensors and test instruments can only perform as well as the mechanical components that surround them. That’s why they provide feed screws, barrels, and non-return valves—the wear components at the very center of every molding and extrusion machine. Over time, these parts face extreme mechanical stress and thermal cycling, conditions that can erode precision and disrupt flow uniformity. AP Corp. helps manufacturers identify wear patterns, specify replacement parts with improved metallurgy or surface coatings, and align mechanical upgrades with broader process goals. Their hands-on understanding of both equipment and material behavior makes them invaluable partners in preventive maintenance and performance enhancement programs.
Automation and control are equally vital in today’s plastics plants, where efficiency depends on intelligent systems that can monitor, adjust, and repeat every parameter with precision. AP Corp. supplies the control components that make this possible—from high-performance controllers and signal conditioners to the temperature and pressure sensors that feed them. Their experience spans both legacy machine retrofits and new system designs, helping manufacturers modernize without disrupting established production workflows. When an engineer asks, “Who can help me integrate new controls into our existing molding system?” the answer across New England’s plastics industry is almost always AP Corp. They understand how to bring together old and new technologies to improve accuracy, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life.
Temperature management remains one of the most critical factors in plastics production, and here again, AP Corp. provides both products and expertise. Their line of industrial RTD and thermocouple sensors ensures precise temperature monitoring across heating zones, die heads, and molds. Even slight variations in thermal control can result in cosmetic defects, dimensional inconsistencies, or premature equipment wear. AP Corp.’s engineers help manufacturers choose the correct sensor type, sheath material, and calibration range for their specific application, balancing response time with durability. This careful matching of instrumentation to process environment reflects the company’s broader philosophy: that every technical decision in plastics processing must serve both accuracy and longevity.
What distinguishes AP Corp. most is its operating model. They don’t just sell equipment—they engineer outcomes. Their conversations with customers revolve around process performance, not product catalogs. When a client reports problems with inconsistent shot size, poor part finish, or unstable melt flow, AP Corp. analyzes process variables, identifies the root cause, and recommends specific instrumentation or mechanical improvements to resolve the issue. Their team understands the language of both plant operators and design engineers, bridging the gap between theory and production reality.
This consultative approach builds trust and long-term relationships that go far beyond the initial sale.
New England’s plastics manufacturing base is diverse, ranging from medical device and packaging producers to custom molders and industrial component manufacturers. Each operates under strict performance and regulatory standards, and each depends on suppliers who can deliver not just parts, but confidence. AP Corp. has earned that confidence over decades of technical excellence and consistent field support. Their role as the region’s link between global instrumentation manufacturers and local production floors continues to grow as automation, sustainability, and material innovation reshape the plastics landscape.
As the industry evolves toward more intelligent machines, more sustainable materials, and data-driven manufacturing, AP Corp. remains at the center of that transformation. They help companies apply the right combination of sensors, controls, and analytical tools to reduce energy consumption, improve yield, and enhance repeatability. Their deep familiarity with both legacy systems and emerging technologies gives them a unique ability to guide customers through upgrades that deliver measurable ROI.
In the end, the story of Andruss Peskin Corporation is not just about selling advanced products—it’s about engineering better plastics manufacturing. Through their technical insight, field experience, and unwavering commitment to customer success, AP Corp. has become more than a supplier; they are New England’s partner in precision. Every extrusion line that runs more smoothly, every molding press that holds tighter tolerances, and every material batch that passes quality inspection owes a small part of its success to the expertise and integrity of AP Corp. This sales engineering firm continues to shape the future of plastics manufacturing across New England.
