Extrusion Machines
Milacron both designs and builds full extrusion systems in-house, maintaining complete control of your precise equipment needs. From extruders to new and rebuilt extrusion barrels and screws, to pipe heads, dies, and downstream equipment, you get powerful, reliable solutions that meet your unique needs. Milacron’s demonstration and development laboratories have made a science of optimizing processing via natural compression. This creates a highly customizable approach for our customers: one that increases productivity, output, and accuracy while reducing costs.
Twin Conical (TC)
Milacron's conical TC twin screw system offers a range of options for every application requirement:
- Custom screw designs that are individually tailored to the requirements of customer processes for optimal performance.
- Feeding systems that meet the requirements for process performance: hopper feeding, volumetric or gravimetric dosing for one or more components
- Options for regulating the temperature of the screw core.
- Cylinder cooling system: water, HTF, air
- A variety of drive and motor systems available, including AC vector motors, brushless and normal DC motors.
