Extrusion International 6-2018

25 Extrusion International 6/2018 Fine mesh straining of rubber compound by innovative gear pump technology … … ensuring high level of quality improvement and cost-savings Innovative technologies for processing of rubber compound at the INDIA RUBBER EXPO 2019, from 17th – 19th January in Mum- bai, Bombay. At Asia’s largest Rubber Exhibition UTH GmbH from Fulda, Ger- many will be presenting its latest range of products. This includes both roll-ex ® fine mesh straining systems and roll-ex ® gear pump technology. Witha focus on its uniquegear pump technology for rubber extru- sion and fine mesh straining technology, UTH GmbH will present its solutions for applications requiring a high level of product qual- ity, cost-efficiency and material-saving. The processing of rubber compounds continously presents the rubber industry with new challenges and tasks. The market demands highly cost-effective products of the highest quality. Accordingly, UTH has focussed on perfecting the manufacturing of rubber and silicone products. With throughputs up to 10000 kg/h UTH’s roll-ex ® gear extruder systems have set the benchmark worldwide for fine mesh strain- ing of rubber compounds. Using either the compact two-roll feed- er (TRF) or a conical twin screw feeder (DSE), the modular design of the roll-ex ® system enables the integration of the strainer in each specific line design. Because of the flexible and compact de- UTH GmbH www.UTH-gmbh.com sign a seemless integra- tion into existing lines is also possible. Precise and gentle ex- trusion is another main feature of roll-ex ® gear extruders and gear pumps which have high working pressures of up to 800 bar. UTH can sup- ply complete lines as a system solution for the manufacture of rubber- coated wire, yarn or fi- bre components. Further information on the particular benefits and possible applications of roll-ex ® technology is available at Stand No. I-009 in Hall No. II – a common booth with its partner Indus UTH HF Mixing Systems Pvt Ltd. Global Hub for Extrusion and Fluid Coating Die Business At a ceremony, Nordson Corporation celebrated the ground- breaking for a new world headquarters for its EDI® extrusion and Premier™ fluid coating product lines, one that will include advanced equipment for enhancing die quality and more effi- cient systems for serving customers. The 145,000 sq.ft . (13,500 sq.m) facility will be located in an in- dustrial park near three existingNordson sites inChippewa Falls, including the current EDI headquarters and extrusion die man- ufacturing facility; a plant for Premier dies and all aftermarket Nordson Polymer Processing Systems www.nordsonpolymerprocessing.com service; and a technology center for research and development (R&D) and laboratory trials. Relocation of these operations to the new facility will begin in the summer of 2019 and be com- plete by late 2020. Nordson also will enhance production efficiency with new state of the art equipment. The integrationof people and resourceswill involve all functions – sales and order processing, design and engineering, machin- ing and polishing, technical support, and administration. Further investment in the Chippewa Falls facility planned by Nordson in the next few years will purchase still more new equipment as well as paying to upgrade existing systems. The building site includes room for expansion of up to 79,200 sq.ft . (7,360 sq.m). Inaddition to theChippewa Falls operation, Nordsonbuilds new extrusion and fluid coating dies in Shanghai and in Saitama, Ja- pan. Remanufacturing or rework services for dies are available at these locations and inMünster, Germany. roll-ex ® 220 TRF: Finemesh staining of rubber compound - throughput of up to 2500 kg/h Groundbreaking Ceremony
