MACHINERY | TWIN-SCREW EXTRUDERS
Control of the extruders via iOS mobile devices is also possible.
Modularity is also a key contributor to the performance of the company’s poex recompound systems, which it has been promoting for some years for production of high value ‘upcycled’ recycled compounds. It says these can be config- ured to produce homogeneous products from input materials of different MFI values and contain- ing many different fillers and additives.

larger poex T40, T50, T60, T75 and T94. Both types are modular. “These modular systems enable easy assembly and disassembly, easy cleaning and maintenance, and excellent heat transfer,” the company says. They also provide flexibility in positioning side feeders. Polimer Technics used the K show to unveil its
new poex Smart Touch control panel, with integra- tion to the poex T40 extruder. This is equipped with a remote maintenance feature and allows addition- al interactive service options to be installed at a later date. Poex Smart Touch is claimed to substan- tially enhance ease of use and reduce set-up times during compound changes, with a clear menu structure used to guide the machine operator through all process steps. All relevant peripheral components and downstream equipment can be controlled too, using standardised interfaces.
Design overhaul Shown at the K2019 exhibition in a 27mm version, Leistritz is rolling out a new version of its ZSE iMaxx twin screw compounding extruder across its 18, 27, 35, 40, 50 and 60mm models. The most obvious change is the machine cover, which is manufactured in stainless steel and covers the barrel as well as the side feeder, but the company points to a whole host of operational and performance enhancing improvements beneath the surface.
Access to the water manifold has been improved
(and water components are now completely separate from the electrics), the temperature control unit is integrated into the machine frame together with the coax valves, a high efficiency gearbox is fitted with an energy-saving synchronous motor, and the barrel can now be fully insulated. Other changes include the introduction of quick
replacement cartridge heaters that are accessed via the terminal block. A new simplified shaft coupling system has also been developed and the die-head has been redesigned to allow it to swing away from the machine after releasing just two bolts.
