Conveyor belt laboratory for cooling extrudates

Achieve precise temperature control for high-temperature extrudates with a versatile conveyor belt that integrates cooling systems to ensure product quality and consistency in continuous processing lines.

Cools and Conveys High-Temperature Extrudates

The Conveyor Belt Laboratory from Three-Tec GmbH is designed for precise extrudate cooling in industries such as polymer processing, food, and pharmaceuticals. It features adjustable belt speeds from 0 to 6.5 m/min, capable of handling product temperatures up to 300 °C. Optional cooling systems, utilizing either water or air, enhance thermal management to ensure gentle and efficient cooling. The belt, available in silicone or PTFE, maintains continuous operation temperature resistance from -30 to 150 °C, supporting both short and continuous processes. The adjustable height and angle facilitate seamless integration into existing lines, providing adaptability for extrusion equipment manufacturers and process integrators. With an integrated potentiometer for control, the system assures precision in conveying operations. Suitable for complex laboratory setups or industry-scale production, this equipment can be further customized to meet specific processing needs.
