pipe, profile and sheet industries. The ConEx NG is a conical twin screw extruder
with a flexible design that covers a wide range of outputs for applications including sheet extrusion. Its innovative design allows for energy savings of up to 20%. The mechanical design platform offers many configurations for primary or coextrusion applications. It also offers a choice of extrusion systems for thermoforming sheet. Its StarExtruders combine a single screw for plastification with a planetary roller section for efficient degassing – making them ideal for direct PET processing. Energy savings can be achieved thanks to reduced drying times. The company also has experience in multi-layer
sheet extrusion, with products including high- speed extruders with 75 and 45mm diameter screws and – depending on customers require- ments – standard three-roll roll stacks or the Multi-Touch roll stack for high-speed extrusion. �

Brampton Engineering has expanded its Vector air ring product line. The new Vector S offers an auto gauge option by using segmented air. It reduces starting gauge by up to 80% compared to conventional air rings, says the company. It also has very high resolution, as it has 180 digital control points adjacent to the lip compared to the usual 60-80 controls in conven- tional air rings. Brampton engineers used aerospace engineer-
ing to create the Vector line – distributing chilled air uniformly around the bubble using a single inlet while controlling the flow to secure stable ‘bubblel- ock’ and boost output on the blown film line. Vector reduces starting gauge variability thanks to uniform airflow around the lip, while Vector S offers a more precise level of control by using segmented air, says the company. At NPE, Brampton will show a full-scale model of the Vector air ring.

At the same time, Brampton says that its SCD 4.0 die technology will now be available for retrofit on all existing lines – regardless of age, model and manufacturer. “The market demands more layers and SCD 4.0 is the only co-extrusion die that enables producers to process each polymer in a multi-layer barrier film structure at its ideal temperature,” said Gary Hughes, Brampton CEO. Brampton says that the die has a direct path
from the extruders and streamlined melt channels, to achieve “the shortest melt residence time and lowest wetted surface area in the industry”. �

Cloeren will showcase its Edge Bead Reduction (EBR V) die for extrusion coating applications at NPE for the first time. The EBR V is the most advanced design in its EBR series, and has an installed base of over 50 units. EBR dies are a key technology for extrusion coating and lamination, which require frequent web width and formulation changes. The EBR V deckle system can minimise the volume of material at the edge bead, which gives economical and
