Compact

Film Blowing Line

type LF-250

With 20 mm, 30 L/D

extruder Type LBE20-30/C

This new line is designed to produce a professional film with optimum dispersion of colorants. The small internal volume of the die coupled to our smallest 20 mm extruders also gives minimum resin usage with fast color changeovers.

The film blowing attachment is connected to our single screw bench top extruder type LBE20-30 with a C-clamp on the flange to the extruder. The attachment is built up on an individual self-supporting frame with lockable casters and thus can be easily removed from the extruder.

type LE30-30/C

For general processing of almost all thermoplastics,

non-vented type equipped as following:

! Screw and barrel in high-grade nitride steel, screw diameter 30 mm and L/D ratio of 30.

! Screw with Maddock mixing section at 22 D and with pineapple mixing at screw tip. Compression ratio 1 to 3.

! Screw speed infinite variable from 0 to 200 RPM.

! 4 heating zones on barrel, all with air-cooling. Each zone is equipped with high efficient air-cooling where copper sheets are mounted below the band heaters ending up in a multitude of fins. These fins catch the cold air and conduct it directly to the barrel. The sirocco type of cooling fans are all mounted in the extruder sub cabinet and connected to each zone with hoses. The large wattage on the band heaters coupled with the efficient cooling system ensures very fast heating and cooling of each zone.

! Digital programmable set and readout temperature controllers for all 5 zones coupled to solid-state relays for accurate heat control. The controllers are self-tuning and equipped with programmed auto compensation, ensuring a precise temperature over the entire working range of 0 to 300 °C.

! Chromed Strand die head with two strands as well as one heating zone. Streamlined die channels designed for shortest possible change of colors or compound with minimum contamination. Die head fitted to the extruder C-clamp as well as mounted on a hinge so it can easily be turned aside when fitting other downstream equipment to the extruder.

! Extruder head with chromed C-Clamp, equipped with two isolated handles and a single clamping

screw for easy operation. Breaker plate for the screens is situated at extruder head, before downstream die for easy access.

! Full steel cover over the entire extruder barrel with air venting grid on top.

! Modern designed extruder body where all components are fully enclosed.

! Large built in cabinet for all electric components with swing open doors fully separated from the other extruder components.

! Convenient Swing away control cabinet, which enable full view from all desired angles.

! Stainless steel hopper, with a stainless steel 3-position turret safety valve where in one position the resin is fed directly into the screws feeding section, in the other the resin flow is shut off and in the third position the resin is discharged through a pipe on the front of the extruder barrel.

! Extruder body on four heavy-duty lockable casters.

! Output around 25 kg per hour at max screw speed 200 RPM

Vented 25 mm, 30 L/D single screw extruder

type LE25-30/CV

The vented version of our 25 mm extruder has been developed with a special screw design, which ensures very good feeding properties without material bleeding out of the vent. The screw designs has been tested and proven with many different polymers such as LD & HD-PE, PP, PS, ABS, Nylon, PC and PET. The features are the same as listed above for our non-vented version with the following additions:

! Vented screw design with Maddock mixing section at 15 D followed by the decompression and venting zone. The screw at the vent and to the end has double flights for optimum feeding property. The tip of the screw is equipped with split open flanges for additional mixing.

! Large vent opening with housing made of Stainless Steel. It is also equipped with stainless steel swing open lid with large Polycarbonate window and with pipe connection for the vacuum pump. The swing open lid is equipped with rubber seal to give a tight vacuum fit to vent.

! Built in vane type vacuum pump driven by a 0.3 kW motor and with an air capacity of 6,000 litre per hour. A large stainless steel mesh filter protects the vacuum pump and the mesh is housed in a see through Polycarbonate container which can be easily unscrewed to clean the filter. The pump inlet is further protected with a small paper filter. Including a vacuum dial gauge and release valve mounted on the top of the extruder barrel behind the vent opening. The on/off selector switch for the vacuum pump is located just below the vent opening and is lighted red when the pump is on.

Optional Screen Changer Type LS-1

26mm Twin Screw Lab Extruder

Excellent for MasterBatch Compounding

 

The screws are built up from individual single elements mounted on hexagonal hardened shafts. Each individual kneading elements is supplied in many angles to enable optimum variations in screw configurations. The screw components are made from high grade tool steel which is through hardened but made with a slightly softer hardness than the barrel linings to ensure optimum life time for both elements and barrel insert

The whole clam shell barrel assembly is split in the center and can be easily swung open after loosening the barrel bolts. This gives easy access to the screws for cleaning or changing of screw elements and/or barrel inserts as well as to observe the melt and compounding characteristics of the polymer being processed.

The top half of the barrel is balanced so that very little force is needed to open it up and with this the hazard of accidental heavy closing is eliminated.
