to easily change the screw without dismantling the melt pipes, feed block and other components. An extraction tool is included to manually change the breaker plate melt-filtering inserts. The adapter is engineered with an electrical pressure gauge, manual or motorised pressure spindle, double thermocouple for every heating zone, and breaker plate with two-screen pack.

A 3.5" (90mm) extruder exhibited by Davis-Standard during the K exhibition showcased engineering updates such as a new extruder frame, innovative feedscrew design and quick screw exchange (QSE) technology. This specific extruder is designed for high temperature processes up to 300ºC and those requiring speciality copolymer resins for film, coating, adhesion and moulding applications. The standardised extruder frame is built with additional space to simplify maintenance and improve heater

steel reliable melt homogeneity for resins like acid copolymers, which improves bond performance to materials such as aluminium foil. Other extruder advantages include electrical barrel heating with air-cooled blowers for each zone; temperature- controlled water cooling for gearbox oil cooler, water cooled screw and feed section; and fixed die support and thermal expansion capability. feedscrews provide
