TRANSCRIPT
ALEMO extrusion lines for EPE and EPP foam are designed to extrude foam sheets with direct gas injection. For small production capacity, up to 150kg/h real production, ALEMO offers a single screw extruder, 90mm diameter especially designed for thin film production of EPE foam. The design of screw, barrel, die and rest of the downstream is especially developed to optimize the process for low medium and high densities. Process high reliability is achived by different hardware and software solutions. For high-output PE foam processing a counter-rotating twin screw foam extruder was developed. It allows melting, mixing, and co oling with minimum shear in material. The extruder’s feed-screw is designed to bring the material to the desired temperature with optimal gradual cool down, which is considered essential in foam extrusion for maximum density reduction. All ALEMO's extrusion lines can be upgraded with a high speed fully automatic winder able to wind up rolls with speeds over 170m/min and with perfectly constant tension through the entire length of the roll. An in-line lamination unit is also an important upgrade of foam extrusion line. It can laminate EPE foam with HDPE, LDPE or similar films with speeds over 170m/min. Same automatic winder from 20 mm at 5m/min to 0.5 mm at 170 m/min. A micro perforation system can also be integrated into the In-line lamination or independently. All ALEMO's extrusion lines can produce EPE and EPP without any major hardware or software change. Production can be switched from one product to another when required.
