Satisfied customer uses two new models from proven series
Krona Tubos e Conexões S.A has been a customer of KraussMaffei Berstorff for several years and took the decision to invest in Krauss Maffei Berstorff products again. “The Joinville production plant is regarded as one of the most modern pipe plants in South America and we are very proud that this factory will soon be operating two new models of extruder and pipe head for PVC pipe extrusion," enthused Bruno Sommer, manager of the extrusion division at the Krauss Maffei do Brasil subsidiary.
Even more flexibility in production
The KMD 108 E2/R model rounds off the product range of KraussMaffei Berstorff 36D twin-screw extruders for medium output rates since it is designed for the range from 450 to 1000 kg/h. In addition to maximum cost-efficiency, the customer benefits from even more flexibility. The pipe head series is completed by two new models which are harmoniously integrated in the overall concept for perfect pipe extrusion because a wide diameter range is covered with the ideally matched system components. In particular, the KM-RK 23-250 model is synonymous with efficiency and flexibility. It can be used with an output rate of up to 1000 kg/h.
Perfectly refined process engineering concept
In combination with the pipeheads, the parallel 36D twin-screw extruders are optimally designed for processing a wide range of PVC formulations. TheHPG (high performance geometry) screw concept leads to high process engineering flexibility; it ensures careful and homogeneous material processing. The 36D long processing unit increases process reliability and guarantees high production security. All pipeheads are designed according to thermal and fluidic aspects in order to ensure excellent pipe quality. They function according to the mandrel holder principle which has proved to be ideal, especially when processing thermally sensitive materials. Perfect melt distribution ensures small wall thickness tolerances, thus making production economical. |
