Extrusion of plastic - Import export

Insufficient surface quality, long cooling times, uneven thickness tolerances or other quality problems often limit maximum production output. Promix melt blenders eliminate these limitations sustainably and lead to significant cost savings. Would you like to optimize your extrusion process? Improved melt homogeneity and a more uniform melt temperature create tighter thickness tolerances and better surface quality. And quite often, it can also increase production throughput. Promix offers you highly effective static mixers and melt blenders at low investment costs. They are supplied ready for installation, including heater bands and holes for pressure and temperature sensors. The melt blenders are usually installed downstream of the screen changer & gear pump, and upstream of the die. The very short installation length allows easy retrofitting in existing extrusion lines.

The Procell nucleation additives developed by Promix are specially adapted to the Microcell foam extrusion of plastic melts. They lead to microcellular foam structures, a key factor for high mechanical strength of the foamed product. Homogeneous, very fine-cell foam structures are the key to high mechanical strength. Promix has developed specific Procell nucleation additives. These are specially adapted to the Promix Microcell foam technology and lead to microcellular foam structures. The additives can be used in foam extrusion and light foam extrusion for many polymers such as PP, PET, PE, PS, ABS, PLA and are suitable for food contact applications. Contact us for a test sample.

The GXR Static Mixer (Licensee of Bayer, AG) is used for mixing, dispersing and homogenization of viscous materials. It is a high performance motionless mixer design that creates a very high degree of mixing in a short length. It is capable of mixing materials with very large differences in viscosity and volumetric ratios. Mixing Capabilities Mix fluids with similar viscosity Mix high and low viscosity fluids (1 million : 1) Mix fluids with large differences in volumetric ratio (1,000 : 1) Disperse and mix polymers with blowing agents Thermal homogenization Viscosity homogenization Applications Two (2) component viscous materials such as Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), adhesives, polysulfide, sealants, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, etc. Plastics Injection Molding Plastics Extrusion Polymer manufacture and processing The mixing elements may be safely pressed out of the housing by pushing on the support ring which avoids any damage to the mixing grid The GXR mixing elements are presently also available in inexpensive plastic construction (50% glass-filled Nylon and polypropylene) Helical Static Mixer The HT helical static mixer pioneered the inline motionless mixing industry over 40 years. It is a cost effective static mixer design with moderate mixing performance capabilities. It is most suitable for use in small diameter turbulent flow and laminar flow applications where the mixing task is simple and where it’s characteristic features of low pressure drop and open geometric structure are best for the specific application. For difficult applications, the high performance GX static mixer is recommended for laminar flow applications. The Helical static mixer is available in metal and plastic construction in a wide variety of configurations and sizes.

The GX static mixer has been used successfully for the laminar flow mixing and/or dispersion of viscous fluids for over 35 years. It is a high performance static mixer capable of mixing materials with equal or very large differences in viscosity and volumetric ratio. Mixing is accomplished in a short length with a very high degree of mixing. Mixing Capabilities Mix fluids with similar viscosity Mix fluids with high and low viscosity (1 million : 1) Mix fluids with large differences in volumetric ratio (1,000 : 1) Disperse and mix polymers with blowing agents Thermal homogenization Viscosity homogenization Applications Polymer manufacture and processing. Two (2) component viscous materials such as Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), adhesives, polysulfide, sealants, epoxy resins, polyurethanes, etc. Plastics Extrusion Materials of Construction, Housings and End-Connections The GX static mixer can be supplied in most materials of construction, pipe/tube housings with virtually any end connection (Figure #13). GX-P mixing elements in 9.3 - 9.4mm outside diameter size are also available in plastic construction. History of GX Static Mixing Structure The GX static mixer was invented by Bayer AG of Leverkusen, Germany in the mid 1970’s. Bayer used the GX static mixer extensively in their polymer plants and subsequently licensed the design to Sulzer Chemtech of Winterthur, Switzerland who trademarked the design as the SMX* static mixer. Sulzer did a tremendous amount of fundamental high quality R&D work on the SMX structure and commercialized the SMX static mixer in tens-of-thousands of successful installations. The founders of StaMixCo held key technical and management positions in the Koch Engineering (the later Koch-Glitsch)-Sulzer Chemtech team that commercialized the SMX static mixer. Bayer licensed their 2nd generation of the SMX static mixer to StaMixCo which is branded as the GXR structure with integral support ring around the X-Grid mixing bars as described in a previous section of this web site. * StaMixCo is not a distributor of or affiliated with Sulzer Chemtech. SMX is a brand and trademark of Sulzer Chemtech.

RAYEX D XT is a low energy X-ray and high speed scanning system for the measurement of wall thickness, eccentricity, diameter and ovality of multilayer or single layer products in CV lines or others. RAYEXD XT is based on the worlds first system which was able to measure all relevant cable parameters from outside the tube looking through beryllium windows.
