STANDARD FEATURES Active melt seal, excellent cooling characteristics and constant solids feeding - Active melt seal Schaumtandex extruders equipped with the patented active melt seal (ASD) set new standards of reliability for sealing the processing section at the gear box end. Sensitive foaming processes using liquid or gaseous blowing agents, some- times in high concentrations, plus high system pressure, call for constant operating conditions, which we support with our active melt seal. The active melt seal essentially consists of an addi- tional barrel element with oil temperature control...

STANDARD FEATURES Modular design, special screw elements and optimum processing sections - Modular design In the design of the screw elements and barrel units of our ZE extruders we have applied a strictly modular concept. This supports an almost unlimited range of variants and options to choose from for a screw-barrel configuration that precisely matches your process requirements. Our range of screw elements comprises: ■ Conveying elements in various lengths and pitches, multi-flighted, closely intermeshing with self-sealing profile, or with flight edge profile and increased free screw volume...
