Cooling bath for efficient extrudate processing

Ensure optimal cooling for extrudates to maintain product integrity and enhance downstream processing efficiency with flexible configurations to fit any production line.

Cools and Handles Extrudates for Processing

The Cooling Bath from Three-Tec GmbH is specifically designed for continuous extrudate processing in the extrusion and polymer industries. This versatile equipment is crucial for cooling plastic, rubber, and composite materials before further processing, such as winding or pelletizing. Available in various lengths, it features hold-down bars or rollers, and a scraper brush to ensure stable handling of materials. The unit is mounted on damping elements to minimize vibrations, enhancing operational stability. With a connection for a cooling unit in larger models, and an adjustable water level system, it offers precise control over the cooling process. Constructed to meet the demands of chemical, food, plastics, polymer, and rubber industries, it supports a wide range of end-products from plastic pellets to composite panels. Additionally, the bath’s efficient design provides quick drainage through built-in valves, simplifying cleaning and maintenance.

Benefits

  • Optimizes material integrity and quality through precise cooling control.
