the size change of quickswitch on the gear used by the company for pipe extrusion allows the system in operation to change the pipe diameter. If the order quantity of pipes is small, the manufacturer will face frequent size changes with increased cost. At this time, the production line must stop, the pipe head and downstream equipment must be removed and cleaned, and its replacement parts must be installed and adjusted. Then the production line must run to full load. Quickswitch can complete the size change within a few minutes without stopping the production line. The manufacturer can also meet the tight delivery schedule without storing a large number of pipes of different sizes

krauss Maffei New XS extruder series is mainly aimed at standard extrusion application fields with small extrusion volume of pipes and profiles. They supply complete production lines and control systems that can control downstream equipment, and their applications include automobiles, profiles, furniture and lighting facilities. Multi layer coextrusion is another target application field

the company exhibited taskmaster. This 1in horizontal extruder has four circulator mixing parts, new feeding technology and three discharge holes in a 36:1 extruder. According to general manager Keith Luker, in the next few months, various examples of taskmaster's capabilities will be provided

the company introduced a new pressure reducing gear pump that can increase production. The compact structure of vacorex Mr gear pump makes it easy to retrofit Maag's early vacorex pressure relief pump. The size of the main casing remains the same as that of the early vacorex III, IV and V pumps of Maag, and the size of the inlet and outlet flanges and the height of the pump are also the same as those of the early pump types, so it is easy to install. Only minor adjustments such as drive heating connections are required. It is reported that a vacorex Mr pressure reducing pump can increase the capacity of the device by as much as 30%

conair

for the first time, a double cylinder product clamp and an optional servo drive that can increase the accuracy of its new CTS mobile cutting saw were exhibited. A direct drive saw shaft motor can increase the cutting torque of the device. There are three sizes of saws to handle pipes with diameters of 5in, 7in and 9in and 9in × 17in profile

the saw uses two positive displacement pneumatic cylinders to send direct positive clamping to the pipe or profile in order to obtain the best bench synchronization in the cutting cycle. The 24In stroke helps to ensure the accuracy of cutting. The servo drive bench and planetary reduction gear are optional

conair also introduced a customized filter changer to the American market, which exhibited a three slide type. Tsp type filter converter is hydraulically driven and especially targeted at pressure sensitive extrusion applications, because the melt always passes only two of the three filter combinations, so replacing the filter in the third plate actually has no impact on pressure and logistics

guill tool

the flexspiral crosshead and tandem die production line of the company aims at the manufacturing of pipes, wires, cables, hoses and tubes. The main advantage of this new technology is that it can improve the concentricity or product roundness, and reduce the use of materials compared with other types of extrusion tools

eurotherm

this company has incorporated advanced drive control into its extrusion master control system. The starting of complex extrusion production line is generally that the gear pump driving device is closed loop pressure control and the extruder driving device is open loop control. The melt pump is usually in the direct action circuit at the start-up stage, and takes the inlet pressure of the melt pump as its input pressure. When the user increases the driving speed of the extruder, the driving device of the melt pump automatically increases its own speed

in this scheme, once the extrusion line is close to the desired speed, users generally want the melt pump drive to change to the open loop mode and the extruder drive to enter the reaction and closed loop control, with its outlet pressure as a controllable variable, which refers to the operation mode, while the extrusion line speed setting value controls the speed of the melt pump drive and all downstream drives. In the operation mode, when the melt pump speed changes the extruder head pressure, the extruder drive automatically tracks the melt pump speed

during start-up and shutdown, all speed changes should be slowly increased to their desired setting values, and there should be no fluctuations that will cause surge of the extruder or melt pump drive. The main line speed setting should also be connected to all downstream drives through a ratio setting

Euro predicts that by 2025, the programming time for establishing complex startup and shutdown processes in therm's extrusion master control system has been reduced. After inputting the desired speed and pressure, the control system will automatically complete this process

coperion

the company regards ZSK megavolume as its own feature. This new technology is an option for a large number of batchers used in processes requiring maximum feed in screw channels. Megavolume uses forward rotating screws that engage closely with each other. By increasing the thread depth of the twin-screw, the free volume is increased by 40% compared with ask megacompound, and the maximum screw speed is increased to 1800rpm

larger free volume and higher screw speed are a lot of speed energy. The materials that benefit from the megavolume concept are generally highly filled polymers, such as talc, CaCO3 or pe/pp with sawdust components. The size of megavolume that can be obtained ranges from 34mm to 125mm. (end)
