Extrusion International 2-2024

34 Extrusion International 2/2024 NPE2024 ZSE-18 twin screw extruder Ideal for R& D, the ZSE-18 of- fers a fully segmented design and can operate from ½ to 10+ kgs/hr. A base mounted LSB side stuffer allows downstream intro- duction of fillers, fibers and shear sensitive materials into a process melt stream. A highly customized front-end consisting of a gear pump positive displacement de- vice and candle filtration assem- bly will be mated to a film die. All electricals are integrated into a roll-around stainless-steel base, and an Siemens PLC/HMI controls architecture will be introduced at NPE2024. ZSE-12 twin screw extruder Exhibited for the 1st time at NPE, the ZSE-12 is suited for continuous operation and is designed for low rate and small batch processing. Modular stainless-steel barrels and screws are assembled on splined shafts. The process section can be configured for liquid injection and multi-stage devolatilization. The feed section is equipped with a pat- ented micro-plunger feeder, which facilitates processing as little as 50 to 100 gm batches. Representatives from Leistritz worldwide will be available to meet at NPE2024. Leistritz Extrusion USA is responsible for twin screw extrud- er installations into North America and parts of South America, and is a subsidiary of Leistritz Extrusion- stechnik in Nuremberg, Germany.

Microcell Technology saves raw material costs and protects the environment I n plastics processing, materials ac- count for 80%of theCO 2 footprint and this is exactly where Promix Solutions steps in. The Promix Mi- crocell Technology creates a mi- crocellular foam structure in the polymer by adding environmen- tally friendly atmospheric gases (N2 and CO 2 ). This reduces the product weight by 20 to 50 %, leading to significant raw material savings. This not only reduces production costs, but also helps to protect the environment. The Promix Microcell Technol- ogy is suitable for packaging films, sheets, foam core and corrugated pipes, as well as profiles, cable sheathing, blowmolding and blown films. Promix will exhibit relevant key components at the NPE and will provide information on possibilities within specific fields of application. In the meantime, more than 300 in- dustrial references are in operation and various machine manufactur- ers are successfully integrating the Foamed sheet with Promix Microcell Technology Promix Microcell Technology on an extrusion line for packaging films
