The
PR Feeder Extruder combines a taper twin-screw batch feeder with
a single screw extruder to manufacture preformed strips, slabs
or pellets. This unique design allows the operator to discharge
a compounded batch directly from the mixer to the feed hopper.
The taper screws continuosly and automatically feeds the compound
to the single screw extruder. The versatility of the PR Feeder
Extruder enables the compounder to screen/strain a multitude of
compounds into various usable forms including pellets, strips
and or slabs.
The
twin screws feed a transition zone directly to the single screw
and the automatic downstream equipment will convert the batch
to pellets or strips. From mixer to finished container pack, the
compound is conveyed and air blown through a series of cyclones,
dropped onto a cooling conveyor, then automatically sorted for
size in a classifier. The need for applied labor is greatly reduced
and the output is dramatically increased. The PR is sold as a
complete line.
The
unit is engineered for long life and reliability. The newest technology
is installed as standard equipment. AC inverter drives, temperature,
time, power displays and paperless recording devices are also
included.
