Conical Twin Screw Extrusion Technology

The ERC 80 W uses a conical twin screw extrusion system designed for efficient processing of WPC compounds. The twin screw system provides effective conveying, mixing and homogenization of polymer, wood fiber or wood flour and processing additives.

WPC extrusion requires careful control of temperature, shear, residence time and material flow. The conical twin screw configuration provides the processing characteristics required for stable plasticization and homogeneous melt preparation.

The screw configuration can be selected according to the polymer type, wood content, formulation, profile geometry and required production output.

75 kW Main Drive System

The 75 kW main motor provides the drive power required for continuous WPC production within the 100–250 kg/h output range. The drive system is designed for stable screw operation and controlled material conveying.

Accurate screw speed control helps maintain consistent extrusion output and profile dimensions. The main drive works together with the feeding and temperature-control systems to provide stable production conditions.

WPC Material Processing

WPC materials generally combine thermoplastic polymers with wood flour or wood fiber and various additives. Depending on the product, formulations may include PE, PP or other suitable thermoplastic polymers together with wood fiber, coupling agents, lubricants, stabilizers, pigments and processing modifiers.

The ERC 80 W can be configured according to the selected WPC formulation. Polymer type, wood content, moisture level, additive system and profile design all influence the extrusion process and final production capacity.

Controlled Plasticization and Mixing

Consistent plasticization is essential for producing WPC profiles with stable dimensions and surface quality. The ERC 80 W is designed to provide controlled conveying, mixing and melting of the WPC formulation.

The extrusion conditions can be adjusted according to material composition and product requirements. This allows manufacturers to optimize processing for different WPC formulations and profile designs.

Temperature Control System

WPC processing requires accurate temperature management because the natural wood component can be sensitive to excessive thermal exposure. The ERC 80 W incorporates controlled heating and cooling zones to maintain stable processing conditions throughout the barrel.

Temperature parameters can be monitored and adjusted according to the WPC compound, polymer type and production requirements. Stable thermal conditions help support consistent melt quality and surface appearance.

WPC Dry Blend and Compound Compatibility

The EXTRUTEX ERC 80 W can be configured for different WPC raw material systems, including pre-compounded materials and suitable dry-blend formulations.

The extrusion configuration can be adapted according to polymer type, wood fiber content, moisture characteristics, additives and final product requirements. EXTRUTEX engineers can select the appropriate screw, barrel and feeding configuration according to the customer's material system.

WPC Profile Tooling and Die Systems

EXTRUTEX can supply customized WPC profile dies and tooling for the ERC 80 W. The die design can be developed according to profile dimensions, wall thickness, internal cavities, material distribution and required surface characteristics.

Customized tooling can be manufactured according to customer drawings and product specifications, allowing the ERC 80 W to produce both standard and specialized WPC profiles.

• Profile handling equipment

The downstream configuration can be selected according to profile size, geometry, line speed, product length and required automation level.

Vacuum Calibration and Cooling

After extrusion through the profile die, the hot WPC profile enters the calibration and cooling section. Vacuum calibration helps establish the required profile dimensions while controlled cooling improves dimensional stability.

The calibration system can be customized according to the profile geometry and production requirements. Different calibration configurations can be supplied for decking, fencing, wall panels, construction and technical WPC profiles.

Stable WPC Profile Haul-Off

A reliable haul-off system is essential for maintaining consistent profile dimensions during continuous production. The EXTRUTEX downstream system provides controlled traction after the calibration and cooling section.

Haul-off speed can be synchronized with the extrusion output and profile geometry to maintain stable production conditions and consistent finished-product dimensions.

Automatic Cutting and Stacking

After sufficient cooling, the WPC profile can be cut into predetermined lengths using an automatic cutting system. Cutting parameters can be synchronized with the extrusion line for accurate product lengths.

Automatic stacking equipment can collect and organize finished WPC profiles for packaging, storage or further processing.

WPC Surface Quality

Surface appearance is an important factor in WPC decking, fencing, wall cladding and decorative applications. Stable extrusion, accurate tooling, controlled calibration and cooling all contribute to consistent surface quality.

The ERC 80 W can be configured for different WPC surface requirements, including smooth, textured, embossed and customized surfaces depending on the profile die and downstream configuration.

WPC Decking Production

The ERC 80 W is suitable for industrial production of WPC decking profiles and boards. Decking applications require consistent extrusion output, dimensional stability and controlled surface characteristics.

With suitable tooling and downstream equipment, the system can produce different decking geometries, hollow profiles, solid profiles and customized outdoor construction products.

WPC Fencing and Wall Cladding

WPC fencing and wall cladding profiles are another important application for the ERC 80 W. These products can require larger profile dimensions, specific surface textures and high production stability.

The 100–250 kg/h production range provides a flexible platform for manufacturers producing medium- and higher-volume WPC profile products.
