PTW16 XL: 25 + 15D extendable
“what is the right length for my application: L/D 25, or better L/D 40?
… Why don´t you buy two compounders!”
• Flexible Length: not for all applications a long extruder is useful, as shear sensitive materials can degrade and 25D is long enough for basic applications.
• Optional 15D barrel extension to enhance e.g. residence time (for reactive extrusion) or multiple feed ports, easy to use (< 15 min by operator!)
• Software recognizes the Extension unit

• Toothed blocks are special mixing elements, used for the distribution of even small quantities of additives.
• The shearing energy introduced to the polymer is significantly lower than that of the kneading elements.
• The open worked flights of the mixing discshave a special asymmetric design.

Application:
Feeding of glass fibres, fillers or other
additives into the molten polymer.
Venting of the introduced air.
Requirement:
2 separate feeders necessary for side feeding.
One side stuffer with constant (high) dosing speed to press the
material into the barrel.
One feeder to controll the feeding rate.
For constant feeding ratio between polymer and additives
gravimetric controlled feeders can be used.
