The extruders are situated on a common base, reducing the usual footprint to a minimum while saving production space.<\/p>\r\n<p>The unit shown comprises of a 3-in.\u00a0(75-mm) main single-screw extruder with a 1-in.\u00a0(30-mm) coextruder.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptonline.com\/suppliers\/boston-matthews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boston Matthews<\/a>\u00a0offers a range of extruder sizes\/outputs to meet the customer&#8217;s specific requirements. This also includes options for the processing of fluorocarbons and high-temperature polymers such as PEEK.<\/p>\r\n<p>The vertical machine can be moved up and\u00a0down, forward and back, and can be swiveled a complete 270\u00b0. This reduces alignment procedures to fine adjustments. The precision fine adjustment will help to simplify and reduce set-up time, while\u00a0minimizing the risk of damage to the tooling during the process.<\/p>\r\n<p>Both extruders are controlled by one central control system using the Boston Matthews Smart Control System. This is a color touch-screen PLC that provides total control, recipe storage, alarms, trending, network connectivity, management set security levels, production data export and production monitoring safety controls.<\/p>\r\n<p>AC, direct-drive technology provides precision screw speed holding for the highest quality melt and output performance whilst at the same time ensuring maximum energy efficiency is obtained. Direct-Drive also is said to greatly reduces operational noise, dust and routine maintenance.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bostonmatthews.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/bb-plugin\/img\/pixel.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latest News \/ PLASTIC TECHNOLOGY, APRIL 2023 Boston Matthews has introduced a space-saving vertical jockey (coextruder) and main extruder production set-up.
