Single screw extruder KME

for pipeshigh-throughputfor energy saving

Product information
The KME single-screw extruder series (process lengths 36D and 30D) is designed for economical and reliable pipe and profile extrusion, including co-extrusion tasks. The 36D variant targets higher throughputs and superior thermal homogeneity; the 30D variant is optimized for low-output co-extruder applications.

Features
Process engineering features

• Optimised mixing in the shearing and mixing section of the screw
• Consistent line synchronisation thanks to linear discharge and feed independent of back pressure
• High plasticising performance and thermal homogeneity for consistent product quality

Technical features

• Eccentric feed
• Barrier screw
• Bimetal barrel
• Deep-nitrided grooved bush
• Optimally dimensioned U-design low-maintenance drive concept
• Robust industrial gearbox
