Extrusion International 5-2018

16 Extrusion International 5/2018 INDUSTRY NEWS High-quality, reliable processing for Brazilian PVC pipe producer „ Duro is a well-known pipe producer from central Brazil, active in several business areas. For the expansion of their water well lining production, they bought a new twin screw extruder for their headquarters at Goiania, GO, Brazil. The company now has two extruders from battenfeld-cincinna- ti’s twinEX series in their production facility. “We have been running a twinEX in our production since 2015 and have had consistent good performance with it. When we expanded our business, we decided to invest in another twinEX. The pipe quality is excellent and we appre- ciate the level of local support we receive from battenfeld- cincinnati. The reliability and consistently good processing performance are a decisive advantage for us as well,” says Leonardo Brito Ferreira, owner of Duro. Duro bought its first battenfeld-cincinnati twinEX 93-34 par- allel twin screw extruder in 2015. They closed the deal for a second machine at K 2016, due to their good experience with the first. The second machine was delivered in summer 2017. The extruders produce PVC pipe for water and sewage trans- port as well as water well linings for the Brazilian market. battenfeld-cincinnati www.battenfeld-cincinnati.com www.duropvc.com.br Duro’s owner, Leonardo Brito Ferreira, with a twinEX machine at Duro’s production facility (Image © Duro, Brazil) Slitting andWindingMachines „ Since more than 165 years, GOEBEL IMS is offering custom- ized solutions for the paper and film processing industries.
