Conical Twin Screw Extrusion Technology

The ERC 60 uses a conical twin screw extrusion system designed for efficient processing of rigid PVC materials. The twin screw arrangement provides effective conveying, mixing and plasticization while maintaining stable processing conditions.

Conical twin screw technology is widely used in U-PVC profile extrusion because it provides the torque and processing characteristics required for PVC dry blends. The screw geometry can be optimized according to the material formulation, profile design and required production conditions.

For manufacturers producing different profile shapes, the ERC 60 provides a practical balance between production capacity, processing stability and equipment size.

37 kW Main Drive System

The 37 kW main motor provides the required drive power for stable continuous extrusion within the 55–160 kg/h production range. The drive system is designed to provide controlled screw operation and consistent material conveying during production.

Stable screw speed is important for maintaining uniform output and profile dimensions. The ERC 60 drive system therefore works together with the feeding, heating and temperature-control systems to maintain consistent extrusion conditions.

Stable PVC Plasticization

U-PVC requires controlled processing because excessive shear or temperature can negatively affect material quality. The ERC 60 is designed to provide controlled melting and homogenization of the PVC compound before the material enters the profile die.

The extrusion process can be adjusted according to the PVC formulation, stabilizer system, profile geometry and required production speed. This makes the ERC 60 suitable for a wide range of rigid PVC profile applications.

Temperature Control System

Accurate temperature control is essential for high-quality PVC profile production. The ERC 60 is equipped with controlled heating and cooling zones to help maintain stable processing temperatures throughout the extrusion barrel.

Each processing zone can be monitored and adjusted according to the characteristics of the PVC formulation. Stable temperature conditions help improve melt consistency, profile surface quality and long-term production stability.

U-PVC Dry Blend Compatibility

The EXTRUTEX ERC 60 can be configured for common U-PVC dry blend formulations used in profile extrusion. Depending on the application, formulations may include PVC resin, calcium carbonate, processing modifiers, impact modifiers, pigments, lubricants and calcium-zinc stabilizer systems.

The machine can also be adapted to different formulations according to the required profile performance, color, surface finish and production conditions.

Profile Tooling and Die Systems

For complete production solutions, EXTRUTEX can supply the appropriate U-PVC profile tooling and extrusion dies for the ERC 60. The die design is an important part of the extrusion process because it determines the initial profile geometry and material distribution.

EXTRUTEX can develop customized profile tooling according to customer drawings, profile dimensions, cavity design, wall thickness and production requirements.

Complete Downstream Equipment

The ERC 60 can be integrated with a complete U-PVC profile extrusion downstream system, including:

• U-PVC profile extrusion die
• Vacuum calibration table
• Cooling and calibration system
• Profile haul-off
• Automatic cutting machine
• Length measurement system
• Automatic stacking table
• Profile handling equipment

The downstream equipment can be configured according to profile size, profile geometry, production speed and required automation level.

Vacuum Calibration and Cooling

After leaving the extrusion die, the hot U-PVC profile enters the calibration and cooling section. Accurate vacuum calibration helps establish the final dimensions of the profile while controlled cooling maintains dimensional stability.

The calibration system can be designed according to the profile geometry and production requirements. Different vacuum calibration configurations can be supplied for window, door, construction and technical profiles.

Profile Haul-Off System

A stable haul-off system is essential for maintaining consistent profile dimensions and surface quality. The EXTRUTEX downstream system provides controlled traction after the calibration and cooling section.

The haul-off speed can be synchronized with the extruder output and profile dimensions. This allows manufacturers to maintain stable production conditions across long continuous production runs.

Cutting and Stacking

After the profile reaches the required cooling condition, the cutting system can produce accurately measured lengths for packaging or further processing. Automatic stacking equipment can then collect and organize the finished profiles.

The cutting and stacking configuration can be customized according to the profile type, length, production speed and factory layout.

Surface Quality and Dimensional Stability

For window and door profile manufacturers, appearance and dimensional accuracy are critical. The ERC 60 extrusion system is designed to provide stable melt conditions that support consistent profile geometry and good surface quality.

Correct screw configuration, temperature settings, die design, calibration and haul-off synchronization are all important factors in achieving a high-quality finished profile.

Window and Door Profile Production

The ERC 60 is suitable for the production of a wide range of U-PVC window and door system components. EXTRUTEX can support manufacturers not only with the extrusion machine but also with profile tooling and complete downstream equipment.

Profiles can be developed according to local construction requirements, architectural designs and customer-specific window and door systems.

Customized Profile Extrusion Solutions

Every PVC profile production project can have different requirements. Profile dimensions, number of cavities, wall thickness, formulation, output, surface finish and cutting length can all influence the extrusion line configuration.

EXTRUTEX can configure the ERC 60 according to the customer's specific profile requirements and production targets. Customized solutions can include the extruder, tooling, calibration system, haul-off, cutting, stacking and auxiliary equipment.

Industrial Production Performance

With a nominal production range of 55–160 kg/h, the ERC 60 is suitable for manufacturers requiring a flexible U-PVC profile extrusion platform. The machine can be used for both standard profile production and customized profile projects.

The production capacity can vary depending on the PVC formulation, profile geometry, wall thickness, die design, screw configuration and operating conditions. EXTRUTEX engineers can select the appropriate configuration based on the required application.

Automation and Process Control

The ERC 60 can be supplied with modern control and monitoring systems for extrusion temperature, screw speed, feeding, motor operation and production conditions. Automation can be extended to the downstream equipment to create a synchronized profile extrusion line.

A centralized control system helps operators monitor the complete production process and adjust operating parameters efficiently.

Low Maintenance Design

The ERC 60 is designed for industrial operation with attention to accessibility and maintenance. Important components can be inspected and serviced as part of a planned maintenance program.

Regular inspection of the screws, barrel, gearbox, heaters, cooling system, feeding system and downstream equipment helps maintain stable production and extend machine service life.

Screw & Barrel System

The screw and barrel configuration is selected according to the requirements of U-PVC profile extrusion. Proper screw geometry is important for controlled conveying, mixing, plasticization and pressure generation.

EXTRUTEX can provide screw & barrel configurations according to the PVC formulation, profile application and desired production range.

Gearbox and Drive Engineering

The extrusion drive system is matched with the conical twin screw configuration to provide stable torque transmission during continuous PVC processing. Gearbox selection and mechanical design are important for achieving reliable operation under demanding production conditions.

EXTRUTEX can also provide specialized extruder gearbox solutions and supporting drive components according to the machine configuration and customer requirements.
