The NEW 500 Series also features the latest Center-Stage concentricity adjustment system that signi fi cantly re- duces pressure on the tooling, allowing easier and more precise concentricity adjustments without loosening the face bolts. Easy-Out inserts for the adjusting bolts also al- low simple replacement of locked or damaged adjusting bolts, which further saves on repair and downtime. Another innovative feature of this new rubber/silicone crosshead is a cast aluminum liquid-fed cooling sleeve that allows the user to switch out the cooling jacket in the event of a line obstruction, again reducing downtime compared to traditional integrated cooling systems. The NEW 500 Series crosshead with MAGS gum space ad- justment is a drop-in replacement on most existing NRM lines, however this crosshead design can also be adapted to fi t any extruder design or line layout. The addition of a newly designed fl ow inlet channel re- duces the shear and heat that is generated as the materi- als are being processed. This leads to lower head pres- sures allowing the material to move through the head in a much more balanced and even fl ow.
