NPE 2015 The company will also show two examples of


co-extrusion. The ConEx range from 38 to 63mm is suited to co-extruded pipe and profile applica- tions. A ConEx 63 from the conical twin screw series will be seen in a co-extrusion set-up on a pedestal mount with 4-axis adjustment with the TwinEx 148-28. This configuration could be used for foam core, triple-walled pipe extrusion, PVC fence and siding. ❙ www.battenfeld-cincinnati.com


Beier America is introducing a new high throughput extruder for polyolefin pipe production. The BRD series of 38:1 L/D grooved feed throat extruders incorporates numerous innovative features, including: a feed throat with a large eccentric feed opening; large surface area, rectangular grooved feed channels; air gap heat insulation; and a spiral water cooling system. The result is high material conveying efficiency – re-


gardless of back pressure – with low water consump- tion, says the company. A BRD60/38 pipe extruder will be exhibited at the NPE.


The Beier BRD series is designed for efficient polymer


processing with extrusion production pressures up to 455bar. Newly designed components help to separate plasticising performance from back pressure. The BRD 90/38 has an HDPE throughput rate of 1000kg/h. ❙ www.beieramerica.com


Extrunet America Inc is the North American subsidi- ary of a European specialist in energy efficient extru- sion machinery. It claims up to 80% energy savings compared to conventional calibration tables – with positive side effects such as reduced noise, automated extrusion process control and innovative guillotine cutting technology. Central Vacuum Technology, as Extrunet calls its


technology, has now been introduced to North America and more than 100 calibration tables have been upgraded – helping customers to reduce energy costs. Extrunet estimates that more than 1,000 profile


downstream lines in North America are ‘coming of age’ – reaching 20-25 years old. Its central vacuum technology can be retrofitted to most brands of calibration table. ❙ www.extrunet.com


Guill Tool is introducing the latest generation of its Series 800, 2-to-6 layer extrusion tooling designed to produce high quality and material-efficient 0.125-6in OD

tubing for the automotive, medical and industrial applications. The redesigned 800 series produces flawless extrusion and layer definition of fluoro- polymer and other materi- als for fuel line construc- tions, multi-layer PEX pipe and drip irrigation. The design allows thin layer


combinations of polymers and adhesives to 0.02mm or less. ❙ www.guill.com


Maillefer has developed a series of innovative ways of making holes in its PIL micro-drip irrigation hosing. The company opted for a mechanical drilling method driven by a high-performance motor in order to reach very high rates: its lines combine short drip emitter spacing and high extrusion line speeds, which translates to 2,000 holes per minute. Part of the challenge in drilling a hole in a fast-mov-


ing target is knowing where to aim, says Maillefer. “Our patent-pending emitter detection system helps


us synchronise the movement with laser light preci- sion,” it said. “Plus, with our auto-tuning algorithm, we zoom in onto the emitter pool zone quickly and simply.” ❙ www.maillefer.net


Tecnomatic of Italy has teamed up with Puma Plastic Solutions to bring its extrusion lines to the US. The two companies will participate at NPE, It will showcase its L/D 40 Zephyr 90 for pipe


production – which has a throughput of up to 1,700kg/h – and of its Venus 400 die-head with Pipe Air Cooling. Zephyr boasts an array of technical solutions that is aimed at pipe producers that need more focused energy saving machines, with high output performance at lower melt temperatures. The innovation spans the entire extruder range and includes new spiral grooved bush, screw and motors. ❙ www.tecnomaticsrl.net
