Extrusion International 1-2021

31 Extrusion International 1/2021 more than 70 years of know-how in plastic transformation process- es,” said Clemente Bausano, vice president of Bausano. “Our Mul- tidrive system has increased the efficiency and the service life of our machinery, undoubtedly set- ting a new high standard in the extrusion industry for both. Our approach to design and develop- ment, production, assembly and testing steps ensures the highest technical and functional quality standards, and we’re very excited to introduce our next generation lines of twin-screw extruders to the U.S. and Canadian markets.” Bausano’s Multidrive technol- ogy is the result of the compa- ny’s many years of research and experimentation. With a unique design that substantially reduces stress on motor shafts, gears and screws thanks to the tightening torque strain being distributed on two pairs of motors, Multidrive delivers higher power on screws equal to the power delivered to increase precision and reduce en- ergy use. Compared to traditional systems, Multidrive’s innovative distribution of motion also re- duces the likelihood of faults due to excessive stress on mechanical components, which ensures a lon- the system by processing reports and graphs in real time to easily and precisely analyze extrusion parameters and consumption at each stage of the production cy- cle. MD Nextmover also includes an innovative Smart Energy Sys- tem for contactless cylinder heat- ing. By using an alternating elec- tromagnetic field, the new system delivers a significant reduction in wear-and-tear while delivering energy savings of up to 35%. Both twin-screw lines also feature special multi-stage thrust bear- ings, which are designed to triple the dynamic load and enable the extruders to handle high volumes of production. For smaller lines, Bausano has developed Multid- rive 2x2, which features a single pair of motors to reduce over- all dimensions while optimizing gearbox operation.

The MD Nextmover line features an all-new Digital Extruder Con- trol 4.0 system with a capacitive, multitouch, panoramic screen. It performs continuous screening of
