High torque twin screw extruder for industrial applications
Enhance your production capabilities with advanced twin screw technology, offering seamless integration for processes requiring high torque and capacity, from compounding to granulation.
Enables Compounding and Extrusion Processes
The ZSE MAXX series from Leistritz Extrusionstechnik is a versatile twin screw extruder designed to tackle complex compounding and extrusion challenges across plastics, pharmaceutical, and food industries. With its unique combination of high specific torque up to 15 Nm/cm³ and a large free volume (OD/ID = 1.66), it ensures effective compounding of materials like polyethylene pellets, polypropylene fibers, and HPMC tablets. The ZSE MAXX excels in continuous, high-speed operations, facilitating seamless integration into existing high-throughput production lines.
Equipped with a modular barrel system and a comprehensive array of screw elements, it allows for precision customizations tailored to specific processes such as direct extrusion, mixing, and granulation. Its state-of-the-art control systems enable real-time monitoring and process adjustments, enhancing production efficiency and product consistency.
Energy efficiency is achieved through optimized motor control and enhanced cooling via a patented splined shaft connection for thermal management. Available in stainless steel options to handle various compounds, the ZSE MAXX also supports GMP compliance for sensitive pharmaceutical applications. With robust engineering support and customization options, it sets the standard for integrated extrusion solutions.
