In conjunction with the screw elements developed specially for the standard compounding tasks, the ZE Perfor- mance offers a wide application range for compound quality and productivity. The process unit has a modular design. This allows it to be adapted to various applications throughput quantities. ZE Performance machines are available in sizes 52 and 62 for through puts of 300 to 1,200 kg/h. They cover the entire stan- dard spectrum for compound manufacturing. Four housing sizes in various models with L/D ratios of 4, 8, 10 or 12 are available for optimum process adaptation. Cooling is by means of water injection, and heating by means of electric heating cartridges. The C-clamp flange system for quick and easy housing element replacement ensures short setup time. HPE Extruder and Promote Regional Capabilities at Chinaplas As an example of its extrusion technology, Davis-Stan- dard will exhibit at CHINAPLAS an HPE-H extruder for medical tubing applications. The energy-efficient HPE-H is compact in design, available for a fast delivery, easy to maintain and one of the company’s most widely used models.
