With an output of up to 120kg/h for polyethylene, 150kg/h for polyvinyl chloride and 180kg/h for PC/ABS blends, the extruder is suitable for a wide variety of applications. The standard equipment package for the 75mm extruder with smooth feed bushing and a processing length of 25 D includes a screw, a control cabinet based on a relay control system (SecuRe) and a mobile, digital operator terminal. Customers can choose between a screw geometry suitable for HDPE, PP, ABS, PS and PET, one for modified hard PVC granulate and hard PVC with filler content, and one for soft PVC granulate (compounds with and without filler content) that can also process TPE blends. Available options include melt pressure and melt temperature

sensors, a CAN BUS interface and a UPS voltage drop protection unit. Cincinnati Extrusion also offers a turnkey solution for customers requiring a complete line for technical profiles, which consists of an Alpha extruder, a customised profile die and the Alpha protech downstream unit.
