    Mobile modular HDPE pipe extrusion system enables on-site production 

    Mobile modular HDPE pipe extrusion system enables on-site production 

    Pipe manufacturer Tubi USA Inc.
    has earlier introduced a patented mobile modular extrusion system that produces pipes directly on site


    .


    Modular extrusion production cells operate at Tubi's factory or at each customer's site, directly reducing pipeline transportation costs and ensuring a rationed supply for each factory


    .


    During the pandemic, Tubi can move its modular factory to the construction site at any time for production at 100% capacity, while traditional pipe makers that need to produce in fixed factories may face capacity constraints during market downturns


    .


    The company says the mobile factory meets the growing need for global collaboration that requires more efficient, flexible production models and sustainable operations


    .


    The mobile extrusion plant can extrude pipe diameters from 4 to 26 inches, with a maximum pipe diameter of 48 inches


    .


    Tubi has established a new production site dedicated to mobile extrusion facilities in Bartow, Florida, and both mobile plants currently producing are fully operational


    .


    According to Tubi, the two mobile plants in Florida have undergone major technological upgrades, enabling production lines to achieve world-leading productivity and quality control monitoring


    .


    Tubi also currently operates a mobile extrusion plant in Odessa, Texas, and plans to move a fourth new mobile extrusion plant to Tucson, Arizona to serve Southwest Mining
    .
     

    In New Zealand, Tubi's mobile manufacturing division produced 105 miles of HDPE pipe to irrigate 50,000 acres of farmland
    .
    The new pipeline has greatly improved water pipeline logistics in this rural area

    .
    Irrigation pipes are produced directly on site

    .

    The mobile HDPE pipe extrusion plant can be directly produced on site, breaking the traditional space constraints of extrusion production, making production flexible and efficient, and saving logistics costs

    Large-format pellet extrusion for rapid production of large parts 

    Large-format pellet extrusion for rapid production of large parts 

    Titan Robotics has earlier launched a new large-format particle extrusion 3D printing system, which is now in commercial use
    .
     

    The machine is primarily designed for pellet extrusion and is equipped with a dual pellet extruder that is compatible with Titan Robotics' mixed pellet extrusion and filament extrusion options
    .
     

    The Atlas 3.
    6 has a build volume of 50" x 50" x 72" and is capable of printing parts up to 6 feet

    .
    It also features a safety door interlock and has an easily heatable housing that handles high performance materials such as CF-PEI, GF-PEKK, Nylon and ABS

    .
     

    Titan's pellet extrusion technology allows companies to purchase feedstock 10 times cheaper than filament, and its high deposition rate of 1-30 pounds per hour means large parts can be produced in days, whereas in the past, typically It will take a few weeks
    .
     

    Titan's Atlas 3.
    6 is already utilized by several manufacturers in the aerospace, defense, consumer appliances and foundry industries to produce parts such as large-format tools, molds and functional parts

    .
     

    The development of Atlas 3.
    6 further enables the reliable printing of large parts using large format industrial 3D printing processes at a lower cost

    .
    Users can print large parts as-is without having to print them in parts and assemble them after printing

    .

    The large-format particle extrusion 3D printing system can complete the direct printing of large parts in a few days, eliminating the post-assembly process, saving time and reducing costs

    High-speed extruder boosts output by 33-38% 

    High-speed extruder boosts output by 33-38% 

    Processing Technologies International.
    LLC ("PTi"), headquartered in Illinois, USA, has launched the latest SUPER-G HighSPEED SGHS3500-36D high-speed extruder

    .
     

    This latest extruder takes system performance to a new level in terms of output capacity and flexibility
    .
    Advances in technology and design have enabled the extruder to process a wide variety of resins, while achieving higher recycling rates, lower maintenance costs and higher output yields

    .
    In terms of volume, it is almost the same as the original SUPER-G HighSPEED extruder

    .
     

    When it comes to processing applications, the new HighSPEED SGHS3500-36D extruder enables reliable, cost-effective high-density manufacturing with high output output in a small footprint
    .
     

    According to Dana Hanson, President of PTi, the SGHS 3000 extruder products have been recognized by the market in the past three years, and the company has taken further measures to expand new products on this basis
    .
    The aim is to close the gap between higher levels of production output and re-loss, and to achieve speeds of up to 1000 rpm

    .
     

    To achieve its goal of closing the gap, the company makes specific design changes to the machines
    .
    The SGHS3500-36D features a redesigned screw from 3" (75mm) to 3.
    5" (90mm) diameter, a 36:1 L/D ratio, 600 hp, and a larger feed port

    .
     

    By increasing the feed port area by 40%, recycled material recovery can be improved while maintaining stable output levels throughout the production process
    .
    These design changes are the basis for the SGHS3500-36D's maximum output capacity of 3600pph, a 33-38% increase in output compared to PTi's SGHS3000-36D (75mm) extruder

    .

    The extrusion machine achieves high-speed, high-output production through screw design and increased feeding port area, which increases production capacity by 33-38% 

    Innovative Extrusion Die System Helps Optimize Production Efficiency and Profit 

    Innovative Extrusion Die System Helps Optimize Production Efficiency and Profit 

    In modern society, the aesthetics and quality of product packaging play an important role in the popularity of products, so how to provide high-quality packaging materials without increasing costs? One of the options for packaging manufacturers is choosing the right auxiliary equipment for extrusion operations to maximize production efficiency and profits
    .
     

    For example, Nordson's die systems for membrane applications are custom designed for each user's process parameters to achieve uniform polymer distribution
    .
    These factors can significantly reduce savings and waste, thereby helping to improve practitioners' operating profits

    .
     

    Optimize production efficiency with Nordson's EDI flexible packaging die system
    .
    Take the EPC™ extrusion coating and lamination die for example.
    With this innovative die system, excellent edge profile control is achieved and the system is easy to operate

    .
     

    Producers can also quickly adjust the product width by adjusting the internal width blade system to control the speed of the end of the runner die
    .
     

    In addition, by adjusting the various components of the internal width blade system, the waste edge size can also be effectively reduced; the design of the optimized die lip shaping area can form a uniform flow direction and reduce die expansion
