AME This series of modular compounding extrusion lines comes in standard extruder sizes of 60mm, 70mm and 90mm, with two resin pellet feeders and one powder resin feeder. Also standard are a plug-and-play electrical system and an Allen-Bradley control platform.
What's new? The series. Apex has manufactured custom modular extrusion systems for more than 15 years; this is its first standardized offering.
Benefits Fast setup and lower cost. The machines can be up and running 17 days after delivery. Assembly-line economics and design standardization combine to reduce the price by 15 to 20 percent compared to traditional custom-designed modular extrusion lines. Base prices are under $2.5 million for the AME-60, under $2.9 million for the AME-70 and under $3.5 million for the AME-90.
