Many of our devices are developed and produced according to the specific requirements of our customers. We show you some of the devices and machinery that were completed and delivered in recent months.
Extruder for the production of meat substitute products and puffed snack products
| Devices: ZE 12 HMI extruder, ZD 12 B gravimetric feeding device, liquid dosing pump Industry/Use: Research. Production of meat substitutes and puffed snack products Special feature: - Modular cooling nozzle - Production of HMMA (High Moisture Meat Analogues) and TVP (Texturized Vegetable Protein) |
Extruder with split barrel with recirculation channel
| Devices: ZE 5 HMI extruder, split barrel with recirculation channel Industry/Use: Research and development. Depolymerization of plastics Special feature: The barrel is equipped with a return channel. This allows the material to be fed back to the screw after an extrusion process, and the process can be repeated as often as desired. This improves the homogenization of the melt, for example in the case of components that are difficult to melt or products that are difficult to mix. Once the desired degree of processing has been achieved, the operator can flip the lever and the material is extruded through the replaceable nozzle opening. With our solution, the barrel can be operated normally with a standard nozzle. In contrast to other systems, there is therefore no impairment due to complex outlet geometries when extrusion without recirculation is to be performed. The extrudate then does not have to be diverted or passed through the switch valve, which significantly improves extrudability and cleanability. This allows for more options without the disadvantages of an extrusion process without recirculation. |
Extruder for research and development of chemical reactions
| Devices: ZE 12 HMI extruder on trolley for use in a vertical fume hood, split barrel can be operated with or without counter bearing, ZD 9 FB flat-tray feeding device, gravimetric, micro gear pump, heatable, thermostat for deep-freezing the barrel in the final zones Industry/Use: Research and development of chemical reactions, polymer production, melt granulation, powderization in the barrel Special feature: The material is melted and then rapidly cooled again in the final barrel zones to allow it to solidify and be pulverized. The entire system is mounted on a table (special frame) so that it can be rolled into a fume hood. |
Extrusion line for melt and wet extrusion
| Devices: ZE 18 HMI extruder, two ZD 12 FB flat-tray feeding devices, gravimetric, hygienic design, side feeding device, cooling conveyor belt, granulator, hot discharge Industry/Use: Pharmaceuticals. The extrusion line is used for both melt and wet extrusion/granulation. Special feature: - GMP system with complete documentation - Innovative impulse cooling system of extruder barrel for precise temperature control - Maximum flexibility for process development |
Laboratory extruder with newly developed hot cutter
| Gdevices: ZE 12 HMI extruder, ZD 12 side feeding device, hot cutter, micro gear pump Industry/Use: Chemistry. Development of solutions for CO₂ reduction in industry Special feature: - Newly developed, powerful hot cutter with three-edged rotary blade and more powerful motor - Side feeder for the forced feeding of dry components that are difficult to flow and tend to clump together |
