PROCESSING | WINDOW PROFILES
Right: Friul Filiere has
installed a line for simultane- ous extrusion of eight thermal break profiles made of nylon 66
expanded from two extrusion lines to five, taking production capacity of PVC window profiles to 6,000 tonnes/year. The company has also installed a foiling line, for colour finishing of window profiles. It says that the plant is designed to accommo-
date 15 extrusion lines, with an output of 15,000 tonnes/year of profiles. “With the new plant, we underline our long-term commitment to the growth market of India,” said Peter Mrosik, CEO of Profine. Profine has been in India for 12 years, where it is active with its Kommerling brand.
Machine advances Adopen Plastic and Industrial Construction, a leading profile manufacturer in Turkey (based in Antalya) recently placed a large order for Krauss- Maffei Berstorff profile extruders. “Adopen is expanding its machine pool of nearly 100 systems by adding another 16 profiling machines, which will be used in producing classic PVC window and exclusive profiles,” said Andreas Kessler, general sales manager at KraussMaffei Berstorff in Munich. The order includes 12 KMD 90-32/P series
twin-screw extruders, a KMD 75-32/P and three KMD 63 K/P conical twin-screw extruders. “Along with high-performance capacity, the machines provide extremely flexible and cost-effec- tive production,” said Emre Aksoy, chief production officer at Ado Group. Earlier, at this year’s NPE show, KraussMaffei
Berstorff showed a range of solutions for the construction industry – including conical twin-screw extruders for window profile production. “We are seeing high demand for conical profile machines that can be used both as main extruders and as co-extruders, especially in North America,” said Matthias Sieverding, president of extrusion technology at KraussMaffei. “Since introducing the conical extruder series to the American market in 2013, we have sold more than 40 models.” The process concept makes the series very
process-reliable, and very flexible for using various formulations. Prior to this, Akfa of Uzbekistan – a long-term customer of KraussMaffei Berstorff – placed an order for 10 twin-screw extruders in the XS series. The new machines will be used to expand window profile production. At the same time, Art Plast – based in Tashkent –
is also expanding its production, and has invested in three KMD 90-32/P profile extruders. The company is using the machines to boost window profile production, mainly for the domestic market.
26 PIPE & PROFILE EXTRUSION | September 2018
And last year, Friul Filiere of Italy installed a complete line for simultaneous extrusion of eight thermal break profiles, made from nylon 66. The process is complicated because of the simultane- ous extrusion, and because the material requires a high processing temperature. The line runs at 2m/ min (90kg/h) and incorporates an Omega 80 single screw extruder with PLC control. A gear pump aids process stability and material flow is constant, thanks to special die technology. A dedicated calibration system with die-calibra- tor centring allows accurate alignment and facilitates positioning of the profiles. The extruded profile has mechanical characteristics similar to aluminum, but with high thermal insulation perfor- mance, says the company.
