Continuous cooling roller for extrudates

Ensure rapid and efficient cooling of high-heat capacity extrudates with a compact solution designed to seamlessly integrate into your continuous production line.

Cools and Breaks Extrudates Efficiently

The Chill Roll from Three-Tec GmbH is engineered for extrusion manufacturers and process equipment developers needing dependable cooling solutions. Featuring a unique concept with an extra large wrap angle, this cooling roller efficiently processes extrudates across diverse industries, including chemical, food, plastics, and rubber. By maintaining direct metal contact, it ensures rapid heat dissipation, accommodating throughputs from 3 kg/h to 100 kg/h. This equipment is suitable for cooling thermoplastics, food products, pharmaceuticals, and polymers, resulting in products such as plastic pellets, gelatin capsules, and polymer films. The Chill Roll integrates seamlessly with upstream extruder dies and downstream breaking systems, supported by optional stand-alone operation or integration into existing control systems. Designed for continuous processing, it offers energy efficiency and minimal maintenance, enhancing production lines while reducing operational overheads.

Benefits
