BATCH PREFORMER
The uniquely
designed taper screw batch preformer has a large volume hopper
which will accept a whole batch from a dispersion mixer without
preforming. The taper screws continuously and automatically bite
and feed the compound which is then extruded through a die. This
simple but very effective feeder allows the operator to eliminate
many labor intensive material handling processes between the mixer
and existing conventional extruders or mills.
The variable speed motor means ideal performance for all types
of compounds and conditions. The ability to heat and cool the
large surface of the hopper bottom, sides, as well as the screws
and head, make even the most temperature sensitive formulae good
candidates for the batch feeder.
