The KMD 63 K/R conical twin-screw extruder from the Performance series – introduced to the market at Chinaplas for the first time.
The Munich-based extrusion giant is introducing the KMD 63 K/R conical twin-extruder into the Chinese marketplace at CHINAPLAS 2017 in Guangzhou (Hall 5.1, Booth J41).
"With the introduction of the conical model, we will be able to professionally handle the requirements of pipe producers for a robust machine with small diameter ranges of up to 63 mm as well as for twin-strand systems," said Kaijun Fan, Vice-President of Extrusion in China.
The model has been designed for the performance range of 130 to 360 kg/h and precisely matched to the local Chinese U-PVC formulation. It is the ideal concept for the lower performance range because traditionally more conical machine designs are used here.
"We therefore cover the entire spectrum of pipe processing, as the models of the 36D Performance series are still available for the high output range in the U-PVC sector, and two specialized machines, the KMD 60 KK and the KMD 90-26, are available for C-PVC processing," said Fan.
Apart from the space-saving design, the conical extruder features an outstanding high-performance gearbox and a high level of flexibility and process stability from a process technology standpoint. The C6 control system with its many monitoring and control functions is the key to an optimal production process.
"We consistently pursue high quality standards in terms of a comprehensive cost-effective production approach for the Chinese market," Fan added. "In our Performance series we rely on high machine quality and German expertise, but the product is specifically tailored to Chinese needs. We source the performance-determining components of the machine from our main plant in Germany, while the finalisation, installation and commissioning takes place in Haiyan. This allows us to offer our customers the highest quality for the usual Chinese formulations and market requirements," stated Fan.
The molybdenum-welded screws and the deep-nitrided cylinder provides a high and effective wear-resistance in the cost-effective processing of a wide variety of PVC pipe mixtures and thus ensures a long machine service life.
KraussMaffei Berstorff offers Chinese customers the right mix of high performance, maximum uptime and optimum quality in its systems to increase overall equipment effectiveness.
