T
he company battenfeld-cincinnati have been presented at
Plastimagen 2016 efficient extrusion solutions for a wide
range of applications. The focus will be on high-speed ex-
truders, STARextruders and the Multi-Touch roll stack for ther-
moforming sheet extrusion. The port-folio of single and twin
screw extruders, pipe heads and downstream equipment for
pipe and profile production will also be featured.
Optimal solutions for thermoforming sheet extrusion
battenfeld-cincinnati’s high-speed extruders are 75 mm sin-
gle screw extruders with a length of 34 L/D and are suited for
processing PP, PS, APET, CPET, PLA, PE and PC. Over the last
decade, more than 250 units have been installed worldwide.
The extruders have optimal melt attributes and outputs range
up to 1,800 kg/h. In addition, they consume up to 25% less
energy compared to conventional extruders with the same
output rates.
A variety of roll stacks is available from battenfeld-cincinnati,
of which the newest is the Multi-Touch roll stack. A unique roll
configu-ration ensures consistent, uniform cooling on both
sides of the sheet, even at highest line speeds. This results in
stress-free sheet with optimal transparency, excellent flatness
and a uniform thickness pro-file, as well as significantly im-
proved sheet tolerances. Thanks to this, material savings of
2-4% are possible.
For direct extrusion of PET, the STARextruder series is gaining
recognition in the market. With the combination of a single
screw and planetary section, it offers the advantage of easy
