Screw geometry for gentle processing!

An excellent product quality can only be achieved if the screw elements can provide the energy input required for the particular processing task without causing local overheating of the product.

 

The FED-MT achieves this with the unique screw geometry in its melting and mixing elements, in which the product is allowed to remain long enough for the dissipation of the required amount of energy without the occurrence of temperature peaks. Since the melting process as well as the mixing of fillers can be carried out using screw elements with the same geometry, fewer spare parts need to be kept on stock.

 

With respect to screw geometry and available torque, the MT series represents the ideal solution for all compounding processes – designed, as it is, to produce high throughput rates as well as outstanding product quality. This also allows for interchangeable processing units with high or medium conveying volumes, with the same spacing between the screw shafts. Speeds of up to 800 rpm are available.
