Twin-screw food extruder HPX45

The HPX45 is a high power twin-screw extruder that delivers superior outputs on powder coating and specialist chemical applications from a smaller barrel, with reduced cost of ownership and machine down time. The HPX45 handles a full range of powder coatings and toners including the most intensive formulations; it is aimed at the small to medium batch market producing 300-800 kg/hr of product, ideally suiting 100kg to 1,500kg batches. The HPX45 provides an average output of 750kg/hour, rising to 1,200 kg/hour on specific applications – typically 20% higher than an MPX50 machine. Increased power and speed are the key attributes, achieved by full utilisation of an 83kW motor through torque stability provided by the patented MAX³ feed system, and increased thrust capacity of the solid-shaft drive train. A full range of HPX extruders is being developed; the MPX series will be retained for powder coating applications requiring through shaft cooling.
