Dear
We are pleased to invite you to visit our booth at K2013 where we will show a large
part of our machine range. This year we have increased our booth space to cover
200 square meters which allows us to show more machines than ever before.
We are located in the same Hall 7 as at last K2010 and we are also on the same first
floor. Details of our location are given on the last page.
The machines that will be on show comprises of the following:
5-layers, 5 extruders Co-Ex film blowing line

HALL 7, FLOOR 1
BOOTH 71C37
The 5 layers co-ex film blowing line features
5 units of our new Narrow Footprint extruders
which are designed specifically for co-ex film
blowing allowing minimum distance from extruder
to die and to use up to 9 extruders to 9 die layers
all at floor level. The line will have 3 units of 25 mm
and 2 units of 30 mm extruders, all with 30 L/D and
with Vector Motor drives
Each extruder is equipped with our weighing
hopper feeders which has a large touch
screen control panel mounted on the central
control panel. This system enables a very
easy and precise control of the layer
thicknesses where you can key in the
desired layer thickness in % of total film
thickness or in weight units of total weight
Our 5 layer Pancake type die is produced in
house and made with layer channels designed
by our Canadian consultant. The die utilizes
channels which are machined both in lower
and upper layer halves so that they form a
perfect round cross section for optimum flow
properties and fast purging. The die lip
diameter on the exhibition version is 80 mm
and die gap is 1.5 mm

A high cooling efficiency Duplex Airing connected to a
large 3 HP variable speed blower. Air ring is equipped
with dial gauges for air pressure and temperature.
The film tower is of type LF600 Co-Ex with a total Nip
Roll width of 600 mm which allows for a lay flat film
width of around 550 mm.
The tower is equipped with
motorized height adjustment and
the film bubble is stabilized with
6 rows of Teflon rollers which all
are synchronously adjustable
and the A-frame is equipped with
a multitude of Carbon Fiber
rollers.
The downside of the tower has a
film slitter with driven rubber
coated nip-rolls and each half of
the split film is wound up on a two-station surface winder.
The line is equipped
with
traditional
digital
control
instruments which
are all connected to
a
central
micro
processor. With this
system all data of the line can be recorded and illustrated on an external PC. The
system and software is designed by us in house and offers a low cost alternative to
our fully computerized control system.

external PC for further processing.
The World’s Smallest Ultra Micro film blowing and cast
film and sheet lines
Featuring the new Ultra Micro single screw extruder which can be fed with
regular pellet sizes
Page 5 of 15
We hope to
see you at
HALL 7, FLOOR 1
BOOTH 71C37
These Ultra Micro Film Blowing
and Chill Roll lines will be shown
on a common platform using one
common extruder which can easily
be moved from one line to the
other.
The extruder, here shown with the
50 mm wide T-die has a conical
screw starting with a diameter of
18 mm and ending at 8 mm. The
variable speed DC drive has a
power of 400W.
These amazing small machines are
true replicas of our larger film
blowing and cast lines and can
produce high quality films and are
suitable for applications where you
have very limited amounts of
resins to extrude. They are also very suitable for learning
institutes since they are true to
much larger lab lines and have a
very small foot print.
The film blowing line features
adjustable tower height by turning
a small hand wheel. The bubble
cage and A-frame is also
adjustable and the nip-rolls which
are driven by a variable speed DC
motor are spring loaded and can
be opened and closed manually.
The unit also features a built in
film bubble inflation and a
centrifugal blower to supply air to the cooling ring.
The chill roll line has a T-die with adjustable lips for
various film thicknesses. The rolling stack is driven by a variable speed DC motor
and a second DC motor drives the wind up unit.
Both lines can also be supplied individually with a designated extruder instead of as
a combi unit as the one we will show at K.

26 mm twin screw extruder with 52 L/D
And with 2 side feeders, water bath and SideCut Pelletizer
Our 26 mm, 52 L/D twin screw is equipped with two side
feeders as well as 3 gravimetric feeders, one for the
main in feed section and the other two for the side
feeders. The twin is shown with our fully computerized
controls and the gravimetric feeders also have their
designated touch screen control panel.
This new version of our
standard 26 mm twin is
equipped with the new
gear box with oil circulating pumps as well as oil
cooler. The drive is our standard 15 kW version with
a max RPM of 800. Same 26 mm twin is also
available in the optional MaxiCompounder version which has a high power drive of
22 kW and a max screw RPM of 1200.
The two side feeders are mounted on practical swing arms so
they can easily be removed and the barrel plugged when not
in use.
As with all our twins, the 26 mm
version shown at K2013 is
equipped with a clam shell barrel
with our special leak proof
design. This barrel version
enables you to open up and
inspect the screws with the
compound still intact so you can
visually judge how your compound has been processed
along the screws

HALL 7, FLOOR 1
BOOTH 71C37
As with our 16 and 20 mm twins, this 26 mm version
features our unique barrel module system with removable
wear inserts. The module which contains the cartridge
heaters and water cooling channels has a length of 4D and
are connected together with bolts. Purposely we have made
the modules so that they have a small air gap when bolted
together while the barrel inserts themselves are in complete
contact to each other. This system enables a larger temperature
variance between each barrel module which in turn gives a
great flexibility in process difficult polymers.
Featuring with this twin is our high efficiency water bath with
strand suction water circulating pump and easy adjustable
guide rollers as well as our unique Sidecut Pelletizer which
can cut anything that a pair of scissors can cut from extremely
soft polymers to very rigid engineering plastics. The line will be
running at K with a soft SBS resin to show the capability of this
pelletizer.
16 mm twin screw extruder type LT16-40 with new forced
air cooling of all barrel zones and side feeder
Page 8 of 15
We hope to
see you at
HALL 7, FLOOR 1
BOOTH 71C37
We will show at K
2013
our
latest
version of our MicroScientific 16 mm corotating twin screw
extruder
featuring
forced air cooling of
each barrel zone. This
enables
a
very
accurate temperature
control of both heating
and cooling
The twin will also be shown with the new side feeder which is fed in turn by a
vibratory hopper feeder.
As with the standard 16 mm twin it is made with a
complete modular build up of the clam shell barrel,
where each barrel section has a length of 4 D. The
drive power is 2.2 kW and the twin can be supplied
with L/D ratios of up to 60.
As with all our twin screw extruders, the barrel is made
in a leak proof clam shell version which is split in two
halves and can be easily swung open after loosening
the barrel bolts.
Computerized filter tester with gear pump type LFT34-GP
with 20mm single screw extruder type LE20-30/C
The filter test body has a
streamlined
integrated
Gear
Pump heated with electric
cartridge heaters. The gear pump
delivers 3 cc/RPM and is driven
by an infinite variable speed 1 HP
geared AC motor. Programmable
inverter controls the speed of the
gear pump as well as extruder.

HALL 7, FLOOR 1
BOOTH 71C37
A pressure and melt temperature sensor is inserted in the channel to the gear pump
inlet. The pressure sensor is connected to a pressure control instrument that in turn
will regulate the extruder screw speed to ensure that it delivers a steady flow of
polymer at a constant pressure.
A second combined melt temperature and pressure
sensor is inserted just before the filter disk location.
This will sense very accurately the pressure building
up in front of the filter disk as well as the temperature
of the melted polymer. The filter tester unit is
connected to our 20 mm single screw extruder which
enables tests on very small batches. The streamlined
filter test head and the small extruder are also very
easy to clean so change over from one batch to
another can be made very fast.
The unit has an on board high capacity PC and
all running parameters can be easily keyed in on
the practical keyboard. All data can be stored on
board as well as downloaded to an external PC.
The large screen is showing the pressure build
up in real time and will automatically show the
Delta P filter pressure value after the test is
completed.
Hands Free fully Automatic Computerized Two-Roll Mill
with Roll Over device
We will demonstrate colour matching
and quality control on a two roll mill
where we will run demonstration during
all show days. The mill we have here is
our smallest floor model. It is the most
popular size for this application; with
this mill it is possible to make a
complete dispersion of pigments and
additives in a polymer during a short
time span of only a few minutes, from
solid cold pellets to a completely
dispersed compound.

HALL 7, FLOOR 1
BOOTH 71C37
The computerized mill we are showing works fully automatically through all mill
cycles and all that is needed is to add resin to the rolls and after melting to add the
additives. The Roll Over device will turn over the batch on the mill as many times as
is needed and the rolls will stop automatically when the batch is completed
The world’s first fully electric and fully automatic press with
electrically driven cooling platen inserts
This laboratory press has no hydraulics and the up stroke pressure is achieved by a
ball screw which is driven by a AC gear motor. The press is the first fully electric
version in the world which featuring electric driven insert platens as well as
computerized touch screen controls with easy to understand graphics. The press has
a max pressure of 20 MT and platen sizes of 200 x 200 mm. The mold is here placed
on a platform in between the hot pressing platens and the fully automatic press cycle
starts with the hot platens clamping the mold and during the hot pressing cycle, the
mold can be set to vent by opening and closing the press for a short period. When
the hot press cycle is completed, the platens open and the cooling platens are
inserted in between the hot platens and the mold. The press is then closed and the
cooling platens are now clamping the mold. When the cooling cycle is completed, the
press will open and the mold is ready to be removed from the platform. The pressure
is sensed by a transducer on the piston and it is set at and shown at any required
value up to maximum of 200 KN.

We have recently obtained a license agreement with a French company, Yvroud
which has a long experience and expertise in designing and producing extrusion
lines for medical tubing. With this we are now able to supply our markets with fully
professional medical tubing lines, incorporating all the latest technologies. The
machines we will show at K are still being produced so we cannot here show
pictures of the actual line. However it is very similar to the one on the front page and
it comprises of the following:
A 25 mm, 30 L/D single
screw extruder. This
extruder is of our own
design and adapted for
medical
applications.
The
extruder
is
equipped with a 1.3 cc
gear pump which will
ensure a very even resin flow, producing bi lumen
tube of 2.55 mm diameter and with very close
tolerances
Downstream the line will
have a cooling and
calibration
tank
with
vacuum
The haul off unit shown here is equipped with a flying
knife cutter which will cut the tubes in any predetermined lengths up to around 2 meter. The unit has
a touch screen to set haul off speed, cutting lengths
etc and it is also equipped with a Zumbach dimension
controller and recorder which is connected in closed
loop to the extruder.
