Other Accessories

Conveyor Belt

Conveyor Belt

Conveyor belt for cooling the strand as it comes out of the nozzle. 30 cm or 50 cm long as shown other lengths are available.

Granulator

Granulator (Pelletizer)

Granulator allows for material to be cut in small pellets. Different size granules are easy to make by adjusting the cutter speed and feed speed. The granulator is used in conjunction with the conveyor belt.

Adjustable Film Roller

Adjustable Film Roller

 

The film roller consists on adjustable nip rollers, transport rollers and magnetically coupled take-off roller. The nip rollers are hard chrome-plated and grinded to measure to avoid deformation of the surfaces and to reduce film sticking. The two rollers can be cooled with air or an appropriate cooling fluid. The speed 0 to 9 m/min can be infinitely adjusted. (Other speeds available upon request.) The desired film thickness can be set manually from 0 to 5 mm, the set dimension is read on the two dial indicators. All wetted surfaces are made of SS 1.4404, and hard chrome.The transport rollers are rubberized to minimize film slip and to compensate for any unevenness. The rubber coating has a 65° Shore hardness and is FDA compliant. The transport rollers ensure that the film is transported and is not stretched by the tensile forces during winding.The winding shaft rotates somewhat faster than the rollers. The increasing diameter of the sleeve on which the film is wound compensates for the magnetic slip-clutch coupling, so that the film is always held under a slight tension during winding. The tension or torque can be set on the magnetic slip-clutch coupling from 0.1 to1.5 Nm.

Face-Cut Granulator

Face-Cut Granulator (Pelletizer)

Face-Cut granulator allows for material to be cut in small pellets directly from the extruder face. Material, in general,  must be brittle and not very "sticky" and is cooled by compressed air or gas flow. Differnt size die-plate are availble.

Tablet Calendar

Tablet Calendar

Continuous tablet calendar with vertical die (not shown) which allows the extruder discharge to be fed directly onto the tablet calendar. The size and the shape of the tablets can be designed to specifications. The calenders are interchangeable for multiple tablet size and shapes. 

Spheronizer

Spheronizer

Spheronizer for granules or pellets. It requires an extruder and a granulator. The the size of the spheres are determined by the diameter of the extrudate and the length of the granules or pellets used for the spheronization process. For example a 0.5 mm in diameter extrudate can yiels 0.5 mm sphres when cut to ~0.5 mm. Different size plates are available and loads can be between 10 g or less upto 100 g

Dies and Nozzles

Dies and Nozzles are available to shape the extrudate output into:

  • Round from 0.040 mm to 3.00 mm and larger
  • Tape/film from 0.010 to 3.00 mm thick in different size width
  • Tubing/Catheter die from 0.040 to 6.00 mm in diameter
  • Adjustable thickness film dies
  • Wire-coating die from 0.040 and larger
