20 mm, 30 L/D single screw extruder type LE20-30/C

! Compact bench top unit in modern design.

! Screw with Maddock mixing section at 22 D and with pineapple mixing at screw tip. Compression ratio 1 to 3. This screw version is suitable for general polyolefin processing in connection with downstream film blowing, flat film chill roll and other attachments. This screw can also be supplied with hard chroming for processing of PVC

! The extruder can also be supplied with plain 30 L/D screw with compression 1: 3,5.

! Water-cooling of feed section as well as lower part of hopper funnel.

! Large rectangular feed opening in barrel for efficient feeding of both pellets and powders.

! Screw speed infinite variable from 0 to 150 RPM.

! Large oversized 1,5 kW AC motor drive coupled directly to a helical gearbox. The gearbox is flange mounted directly to a trust bearing housing containing the screw connecting shaft, which is resting in a heavy-duty trust bearing arrangement.

! Programmable frequency inverter for infinite variable screw-speed and high torque even at low screw speeds. Digital readout of the screw RPM and motor power (Amp) on the control panel.

! 3 heating zones on barrel, all with forced air-cooling. Each zone with multiple rows of copper fins for high cooling efficiency, coupled with oversized cooling fans mounted at the rear of extruder barrel assembly. Large wattage on 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 three barrel heating zones.

! C-Clamp type flange on the extruder head.

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

! Convenient control cabinet built into lower part of extruder body with clear viewing from operator position.

! 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.

Scientific 30mm, 30 L/D single screw extruder

! 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.

! Large oversized drive with 7.5 KW AC motor, coupled directly to an in line heavy-duty helical gear box, which in turn is connected to an individual housing containing the oversized trust and position bearings for the screw drive.

! Programmable frequency inverter for infinite variable screw speed and high torque even at low screw speeds. Digital readout of the screw RPM and motor power in percent of full load from instruments mounted on the control panel.

! 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

! 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 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.
