Single screw screw extruder Maxi26

co-rotating twin-screwcompoundingfor thermoplastics

Product overview
Modular co-rotating twin-screw extruders with clamshell barrel inserts. Available screw diameters: 12, 16, 20 and 26 mm. Single-screw elements mounted on hexagonal shafts enable rapid reconfiguration for compounding and reactive extrusion. The Maxi26 Compounder variant offers a 22 kW drive motor and a maximum screw speed up to 1200 RPM for increased throughput.
