Four processes, our own systems.Chosen by part, volume and target condition.
Which process fits depends on the material, part geometry, required moisture condition, quantity and your production workflow. That is why we build systems for four processes – and advise on which one suits your application.

Polyamide absorbs moisture.What matters is where it arrives.
Without targeted conditioning, a part’s moisture condition only develops during storage, transport and use – depending on ambient conditions, time and wall thickness. Controlled moisture conditioning establishes a defined target condition before the part moves on.

Schematic illustration of moisture uptake by diffusion – not to scale, no measured values or times. How moisture spreads depends on the material, wall thickness, geometry, initial moisture content and process; the principle applies to all four processes.
Moisture does not reach every area of a part at the same time.
01Water binds to the amide groups of the polymer chains and acts as a plasticiser in the matrix.
02As moisture content rises, stiffness and strength fall while impact strength and elongation at break increase – to a degree that depends on the grade.
03Absorbed water increases the part’s volume – it swells, which affects dimensional stability.
04Weight gain shows the total water absorbed, not how it is distributed within the part.
Our position
Not every polyamide part needs to be conditioned. What matters is the condition the function-critical areas of your part need – at assembly, testing or delivery. We establish this before we recommend a process.
The system finder looks at your parts. CondiCheck looks at your existing process. Both give you a first indication – the detailed design is then worked out with us.

As a manufacturer, Condisystems develops conditioning systems, integrates them into your production – and provides conditioning as a service where a system of your own does not (yet) make sense.
01
Process design
We define the target condition, reference basis and process before a system is selected.
02
Systems for four processes
Cabinets, containers, chambers and filling-tube systems – as standard or custom-built.
03
Automation and integration
Loading, conveying and connection to existing production lines.
04
Contract conditioning
For project launches, capacity bottlenecks or regular demand – you send parts only once the approach has been agreed.

Company
A family business.Specialised in one task.
Condisystems is the brand of IMA Buscher GmbH in Lambsheim, Germany – owner-managed and specialised in conditioning polyamide and engineering plastics.
Archive1996The beginning
Edmund Buscher’s engineering office takes up polyamide conditioning – aiming to condition parts right at the moulding machine.
