Process Unit, screws and barrels

  The heart of each extruder is the process unit, consisting of screw and barrel. Plastics and their applications are increasingly diverse. The geometry of the screw must be optimally designed for that. The main characteristics are: • Melting behavior • Throughput • Temperature profile over the length of the screw • Heating and cooling performance • Energy consumption The design of the screw or the specific plastics is based on the latest technological developments. SKETmatik extruder and process units are optimally designed for your applications.  

Through the use of modern screw geometries old extruders can be retrofitted to powerful extruder. Performance improvements of 100% at an improved melt can be achieved in individual cases. Tell us your problem and we design our process unit of exact fit.
