And icMA san giorgio's new HP (high-performance) extruder family combines increased torque (16 nm/cm3) and a
higher free volume (OD/iD ratio of 1.65) with a series of
technology solutions to improve energy efficiency. These
include a high-efficiency water-cooled Ac motor and an
insulation system that reduces heat losses at the barrel. A
clam-shell barrel type is also available.
Next-Generation Kneading
Kneading extruders are reciprocating single-screw extruders
that employ mixing flights that interact with stationary pins
on the barrel wall. Known for low-temperature, low-shear
mixing, kneading extruders have traditionally been used
for compounding PVc. in the past few years, developments
