Extrusion International 2-2024

33 Extrusion International 2/2024 Twin Screw Extrusion Equipment for Compounding, Reactive Extrusion, Devolatilization, Foaming and Direct Extrusion on Display at NPE2024 A wide range of twin screw ex- truders and auxiliary equipment will be exhib- ited by Leistritz Extrusion on booth #W6343 at the Nation- al Plastics Exposition (NPE) to be held May 6-10, 2024 in Orlando, Florida. The theme of the Leistritz Extrusion exhibit will be “The Race to Success”, which is representa- tive of the continued advancements made possible via twin screw ex- trusion to make better products at a lower cost. The following equip- ment will be displayed: ZSE-60 MAXX co-rotating twin screw extruder The most popular production compounding twin screw extruder in North America, the ZSE-60 MAXX features a modular design for bar- rels and screws that are rated for 425 degree C operation. Auxiliary equipment integrated with the ZSE-60 MAXX includes an LSB-side stuffer for downstream introduc- tion of fillers into the process sec - tion and an LSA swing gate strand die with provision for filtration. ZSE-40 MAXX co-rotating twin screw extruder Ideal for color concentrates and small lot production, the ZSE-40 MAXX also features a modular de- sign and an LSA swing gate strand die. An AC water-cooled motor is integrated into the machine design, which operates more quietly than air-cooled motors, and eliminates unwanted air flows in the plant. ZSE-27 MAXX co-rotating twin screw extruder The ZSE-27 MAXX is suited for research and full scale produc- tion and features a quick-change flangeless barrels design for ac- celerated barrel reconfiguration, and the gearbox is attached to a dovetail mounting plate that al- lows the gearbox to be quickly re- positioned to facilitate different length/diameter (L/D) ratios test- ing. All electricals are integrated into a roll-around stainless-steel base, and an Allen-Bradley PLC/ HMI controls architecture will be displayed.
