To achieve these good results and to keep our leadership we are com- mitted to update our technology con- stantly,”says Fernando Morandi, Sales Manager of AMUT GROUP and expert of this kind of extrusion lines. ABS edgebanding production with AMUT double venting extruder excludes any pre-dehumidification treatment nor- mally applied in case of hygroscopic ma- terials, like ABS. Thanks to a special double venting screw design it is possible to reach perfect qua- lity product with no extra costs and low energy consumption. The extruder has a 52L/D ratio and can process as well the latest PP edgebanding. One exclusive advantage of AMUT tech- nology is based on the flexibility of changing the surface finishing on final product. AMUT unique solution for post-embos- sing of the edgebanding surface has been upgraded and today it allows the changeover of embossing pattern in few seconds without any production loss or extrusion speed reduction. “The new post-embossing solution has been supplied to an important European Customer that confirms full achievement of the expected savings in production cost,” says Fernando Morandi. Furthermore, in case of “Super Glossy Extrusion line Surface Product”, where a special central calender roll is required, the embossing roll can be changed in less than 30 min- utes. A new generation of software control systems is now available on AMUT lines. The operator sets the recipe data and the AMUT software processes all adjust- ments in automatic mode ‘till the line reaches the desired output and working conditions. Even the speed is automati- cally controlled according to the width and thickness of the foil to be produced. The operator intervention is reduced to minimum. AMUT all-in approach to line supply in- cludes high level evaluation of customer requirements, proposing tailor-made ma- chines for specific applications, end-line systems and special units upon request.
