PCX extruders
How it works
Our PCX extruders ensure precise homogenization of dry materials, efficiently processing complex premix formulations.
The system moves materials through specialized kneading elements, where they are crushed, smeared, and shuffled with precise energy input to create a uniform melt. By effectively controlling torque-induced temperature spikes, the PCX maintains material integrity, ensuring a consistent, high-quality mix that is fresh and ready for use.
Thermoset material extrusion relies on precise temperature control within the right exposure time. The PCX excels in this, effortlessly maintaining optimal conditions, making it a class above the rest.
Material handling – The cooled feeding throats prevent bottlenecks, ensuring seamless feeding from any source – top, side, dosing or injection. This enables a high consumption rate and efficient displacement of air, allowing even low-density fine materials to be fed at comparatively high volumes.
Extrusion process – The PCX features one of the most powerful drive systems in the industry. With high-performance shafts derived from aerospace technology, it delivers uncompromised torque. Even when core-cooled for enhanced stability, these shafts remain unimpeded by the supplied power. Additionally, the extruder’s co-rotating twin screws operate at adjustable speeds of 900 or 1200 RPM, ensuring optimal homogenization across various throughput requirements.
Temperature control – With an advanced 360° ringfenced cooling system (typically across seven zones), the PCX provides unmatched material temperature management. This allows users to push throughputs beyond what competitors can achieve, without compromising product quality.
User-friendliness – Designed with safety and accessibility in mind, the PCX makes maintenance effortless. Key features include a hydraulically assisted clamshell process barrel, spring-mounted tie-down bolts, and a non-stick discharge knife. Seamless screw elements fit together in only one configuration, shafts can be changed in minutes, and interchangeable liners simplify upkeep.
Class-leading torque delivery – Each PCX extruder is mechanically scalable to the next in the range, ensuring consistent specific torque transfer to the processing material. Every component is meticulously selected for best-in-class efficiency and proven reliability.
