Battenfeld-Cincinnati Alpha extruder gets redesign

Nov. 29, 2014

Alpha Extruder  This plug-and-play single-screw extruder from Battenfeld-Cincinnati was developed for technical profiles and small pipe. The redesigned Alpha comes in 45mm, 60mm and 75mm diameters, with smooth or grooved feed zones.

What's New?  A more compact drive unit and redesigned substructure, giving the already-small machine an even-smaller footprint. New frequency converters for regulating screw speed and torque. High-precision temperature controllers featuring fast self-tuning and integrated on/off functions.

Benefits  The compact multi-purpose extruder, because of a smaller drive unit, has smaller dimensions and reduced oil needs. The machine, which also offers more accurate regulation of screw speed and torque, is still available worldwide at a uniform price. A left-side configuration is available.
