Processes High Torque and Volume Extrusion Tasks
The ZSE MAXX series from Leistritz is a twin screw extruder designed for high torque and volume applications in the plastics, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Its unique construction combines a large free volume (OD/ID = 1.66) with a patented splined shaft connection, maximizing torque up to 15 Nm/cm³. This extruder excels in compounding, mixing, and melt extrusion tasks, producing plastic pellets, pharmaceutical tablets, and textured protein products efficiently. It offers a continuous operation mode, integrating seamlessly with upstream and downstream processes.
Engineered for GMP compliance, it is ideal for pharmaceutical applications requiring stringent quality standards. The ZSE MAXX series utilizes optimized liquid coolant flow for enhanced cooling, ensuring consistent extrusion performance without overheating. The system is available with various screw elements and a modular barrel design for customized configurations. Additionally, it supports CIP cleaning systems, minimizing downtime and contamination risk. Operators benefit from its intuitive control interface, which facilitates process monitoring and adjustments.
