KraussMaffei Berstorff to present solutions for market trends at Plastimagen
(Munich, Mexico, March 12, 2013) KraussMaffei Berstorff will focus on its proven 36D single-screw technology during the Plastimagen trade fair (Mexico City, Stand 1314). With its KME 45-36 B/R exhibit, KraussMaffei Berstorff will take account of the market trend which is now manifested in increasing demand on the polyolefin pipe market.
“We are pleased to be able to satisfy the increasing market demands in PO
pipe production by means of our long-proven and successful single-screw
concept", said engineer Hector Moreno, CEO of the Mexican subsidiary of
KraussMaffei Berstorff. “On the rapidly growing Mexican market we are
seeing higher demand for HDPE pipes for many different applications, for
example smooth pipes or corrugated pipes", added engineer Moreno. From
a process technology standpoint, the series with the 36 L/D long processing unit offers a wide variety of advantages. For example, the machine can be used for all current polyolefins, but also for special materials such as PE-RT or polybutenes. The barrier screw concept guarantees an optimal mixing operation in the shear and mixing zones of the screw. Thermal nonhomogeneities are reliably prevented; consequently, the producer achieves optimum homogeneity of the melt at a simultaneously lower temperature and can therefore manufacture an end product with perfect quality. The long processing unit increases process reliability and minimizes wear. The processor also benefits from a long service life of the extruder because the concept optimizes pressure flow continuously and therefore keeps the wear rates low. The KME 45-36 B/R model is very interesting, especially on upand- coming markets for new entrants on account of its excellent priceperformance
ratio.
