Extrusion International 4-2025-USA

23 Extrusion International 4/2025 New Extrusion Head Guill Tool introduced The Bullet®, an extrusion head with fixed center design, multi-port spiral flow design and gum space adjustment, plus the added feature of no fastening hardware, so cleaning and restart are eas - ier and faster than any conventional head on the mar- ket currently, according to company sources. Recently, the company began offering the next generation of this unique and patented tool, The Bullet II. The Bullet II allows quick tooling changes, as the tips re - move from the back and the die removes from the front of the unit. The absence of fastening hardware elimi- nates leaking, as does the ta - per body and deflector design pioneered by Guill. Addition- ally, the new patent pending CAM LOCK® deflector retain - ing system offers these ad- ditional benefits to extruders and machine builders: • It only takes ½ turn of the Cam Lock® to remove and in- stall the Deflector and Tip • No fastening hardware required • Fast tool changes, thread - ed retaining ring for the die and threaded tip retainer • Dies are removed from the front and tips from the rear • Tooling retainers also provide gum space adjustment • Hassle free air / vacuum connections • Simplified cleaning • Reduces downtime and lowers oper- ating costs High- and low-volume applications are suitable for this head and are accommo- dated with the simple, easy changing of just one component. A family of cross- head designs is available and users can specify the “caliber”, that is, the max. die ID. A vacuum chamber and kit for assembly and disassem- bly are included with the unit. Optional keyed tooling capability offers machine designers and end users quick orientation, so the overall unit design enables faster dis - assembly, proper cleaning and restart, allowing the line to become more profitable, more quickly.
