Paccor with the new 3-layer coextrusion line

Process technology highlight of this line is the main extruder model BC 1-120-40 D WT 170, equipped with a processing unit in which a single screw is combined with a planetary roller extruder section. The machine's design is similar to that of a standard single screw extruder, but equipped with a planetary roller zone in the degassing area. The operating principle in this area causes the melt to be spread out in very thin layers. In this way, an extremely large surface is generated, which produces excellent degassing results. This even permits the use of undried regrind material and ensures energy-efficient operation of the entire line.
