EXTRUSION INNOVATION
Lower melt temperature,
less energy consumption
and cost reduction
At this year’s plastics trade fair, battenfeld-cincinnati will be introducing a newly developed
series of high-performance single screwextruders: the solEXNG (NG=Next Generation) series.
Developed on the basis of the proven solEX series, this new generation features a completely
newprocessing unit which offers amultitude of advantages, such as a lower melt temperature
and energy costs reduced by up to 15%.
This picture shows a cross-section of the barrel to illustrate the internal
design of the new processing unit. The various differently shaped
grooves in the processing unit are designed to meet the specific
requirements of each section
