Horizontal Single Screw Extruders

• Range of sizes for optimum processing (¾" - 6")
• Precision processing developed with over 50 Years Screw Design and Polymer Processing Experience
• Energy Efficient Direct-Drive Operation for maximum power transmission.
• AC Motor and Vector Drive for precise speed holding
• ACCUTROL Temperature Control System for precise temperature holding & reduced energy usage
• Low noise
• No belts & pulleys = reduced/no dust - ideal for clean room conditions
• Operator friendly routine maintenance = no need for specialist maintenance personnel
• Small, compact footprint
• Range of options to meet your exact processing requirements including SMART Control System
• Production data export (onto your network) including trending, alarms, alarm history, hours run, etc
• Heavy-Duty Welded base for vibration free extrusion

Intelligent design incorporates many features that not only provide maximum performance and accuracy but reduces downtime and makes routine maintenance simple and easy including the elimination of belts and pulleys; Plug & Play replacement of heaters, cooling fans and thermocouples.

Designed to allow maintenance to be carried quickly and easily by the operator = no need to wait for maintenance personnel

AC Motor technology with encoder feedback for precision screw speed holding combined with the intelligent "Accutrol” temperature control system ensures complete control over the extrusion operation.

At the heart of every successful extruder must be the correct screw design. Boston Matthews has over 50 years screw design and manufacturing experience which includes many "firsts”. Further supported by 3D Design Software and Polymer Processing Flow Simulation Boston Matthews extruders are fitted with the exact screw(s) to process your polymers within the right conditions for the highest quality at all times.

All Boston Matthews extruders feature AC and Direct-Drive Technology. This ensures maximum power transmission and eliminates the need for belts & pulleys (a wear item). This also reduces operational noise and dust levels as well as reducing energy consumption.

Extruders are available with traditional hard wired control or the optional SMART PLC control system. The colour touch-screen control offers many additional features including Recipe Storage; Password Protection and Security Levels; Product Traceability & Data Export; Ethernet Connectivity; Alarm History and much more.

Boston Matthews single screw extruders can be configured to integrate with any existing extrusion machinery or extrusion line.
