The extruder and depositor in detail A substantial improvement in high-performance extruders and depositors requires innovative thinking and implementation of new ideas both in the detail and in the overall concept. Below we present a flavour of the innovations introduced with Alice™. Durability Simplicity and surprisingly few moving parts are the route to Alice’s™ gentle, robust and reliable operation. Materials We apply exclusively FDA-approved materials and coatings. Further stainless steel is an option for specific or demanding applications. Hygienic design Fewer moving parts and an extruding...

Alice™ structure Exclusive, unique design ensures “straightforward” and unambiguous separation of the entire extruder and depositor head unit from a separate drive block, for simple maintenance and cleaning such as by hose-down. Unique advantage with immediate changeover of productions by applying two hoppers. Drive block All motions are CAM servo driven; all motors are assembled in one separate drive block and fully integrated with the electrical control system, adding unseen flexibility to the machine. Clutch The separate drive block is automatically clutched to the extruder and depositor head...

Create your own favourite machine 1 We have given you a completely free hand to adapt Alice to your specific wishes and requirements. A wide range of possibilities is offered, from mono-head to triple-head versions, with auxiliary equipment such as wire cutters and die plates – so we certainly create tailor-made equipment to meet your demands ! 1) Mono-head version For straightforward extrusion and/or depositing. 2) Double-head version For co-extrusion, sandwich extrusion, sequence depositing, double-row extrusion and more. 3) Triple-head version For multiple extrusion and depositing – to create...

Forget strenuous cleaning and cumbersome production shifts Forget about cleaning in the traditional sense. A top-priority issue during the entire development project was to achieve unforeseen easy cleaning and changeover of productions. We are pleased to announce that we have succeeded with Alice™. All parts are lightweight, easy to handle, and easily released and disassembled with the unique all-in-one drive block and automatic clutching features. Furthermore, Alice™ is – to our knowledge - the first modern extruder and depositor that allows complete hosing-down off-line. If you want to retain...
