Extrusion International 3-2018

35 Extrusion International 3/2018 free AC motors, efficient barrel tem- perature control and proven screw core thermoregulation ensure easy handling and long lifetimes. The leanEX series comes with the BC Compact control, which has a 12 inch screen with an intui- tive user interface for simple data entry. At Chinaplas, the leanEX 2-58R-CL mod- el was exhibited at the booth. After the show, this machine went to a Chinese pipe manufacturer. State-of-the-art equipment for thermoforming sheet and technical PVC sheet battenfeld-cincinnati also offers a wide range of equipment for the production of thermoforming sheet for food pack- aging, such as the high-speed extrud- ers and the Multi-Touch roll stacks that ensure excellent product quality even at high line speeds. For technical PVC sheet, which is used in protective covers, as decorative sheet or for laminating credit cards, planetary roller extruders with outputs of up to 4,000 kg/h are available. battenfeld-cincinnati China www.battenfeld-cincinnati.com/china of the well-known leanEX PO pipe ex- truders. Based on European technolo- gy, the machines are designed for stan- dard PVC pipe applications. Optimized, nitrated screws ensure high plasticizing performance and wear protection at output rates of up to 270 kg/h for pipe and 150 kg/h for profile. Maintenance- UX, which was introduced to the Chi- nese market last year. State-of-the-art control system BCtouch UX “The new control system has already received lots of positive feedback and proven itself in operation,” says Toni Bernards. The control features Industry 4.0 applications like preventive mainte- nance, OPC-UA functionality and remote maintenance. The swivel-type operat- ing panel has a 21.5 inch HD multi-touch screen for intuitive operation and allows individual configurations and language selection for each operator. leanEX: efficient turnkey solution for standard PVC pipes “PVC pipes are also a growing sector in the Chinese market because of grow- ing urbanization and the replacement of old pipe systems. They are used in infrastructure projects, e.g. for cable duct and sewage applications because of their long lifetimes and easy installa- tion. battenfeld-cincinnati China offers extruders for the whole range of PVC pipe production. For standard applica- tions and medium sizes we recently in- troduced the leanEX conical twin screw extruders,” explains Toni Bernards. The new leanEX conical twin screw se- ries features the same concept of high automation, speed and outputs as that Pic. 3:PE gas pipes produced with the solEX 60-40-C Pic. 4:leanEX 2-58R-CL extruder for standard PVC pipe production
