Battenfeld Chen: New Extruder Technology in China
To combine the advantages of a conical extruder with the characteristics of a parallel twin-screw extruder Battenfeld Chen has introduced a new generation of conical screw design to the Chinese market, the active conical screw design. The special feature of this Battenfeld machine is its reduced flight depth in the feed zone and its increasing flight depth in the metering zone for a higher output rate per screw revolution. Therefore, it combines the benefits of the parallel process technology with the advantages of a conical gear concept. This system has also convinced customers, who use conical extruders for years and now replace their existing normal single conical machines. The new conical extruder is available as a main extruder and also co-extruder. More technical information (PDF file) contact : information@bce.battenfeld.com.cn
