New two-in-one crosshead solution by Rosendahl

ROSENDAHL’S universal RX12 double-use extrusion crosshead serves two needs in one crosshead. Not only will the cable manufacturer save money over buying two crossheads for its purposes, but it will also be able to process very different materials on one solution, like high-filled LSOH (commonly used for building wire production) to low density cross linkable materials such as XLPE. Additionally, the crosshead is ready to run many typical materials for insulation like PVC, PE, PP and TPE on the RX12 double-use crosshead with the best material feed. This will be achieved by two independent melt flow sections with this crosshead. Each melt flow includes an individual adapter and distributor for the required material. The crosshead is ready for use after a change-over time of less than ten minutes.
