The ENTEX system is enriched by a further element – ERMO (degassing reaction module) is a world innovation that further enhances the efficiency and versatility of the ENTEX planetary roller extruder.
This latest addition to the modular system of ENTEX offers a significantly increased process chamber volume in comparison to the conventional cylinder assembly of the respective series.
It has been developed specifically for degassing applications. Here, free large-scale process surfaces and generously dimensioned flow cross-sections are decisive. ERMO maximizes these aspects without significantly changing the size of the extruder. But the advantages of ERMO can also be used for the addition of fillers with particularly low bulk density – also here, the largest possible free cross sections are needed for the supply of such materials.
Another example of application are processes in the field of reactive extrusion. For their successful execution an extension of the dwell time or an enlargement of the reaction surface or of the volume are required.
Like all other components of the modular ENTEX system, several ERMOs can be used in series or at separate positions of a production line – in addition, there are various supplementary options such as side feeder, injection and degassing openings.
