Machine Modifications

Very often, available machinery and production plants have to be matched to new production requirements. Such modifications can only be done by experts having fundamental knowledge on construction, function and process engineering of the machinery to be modified to ensure the safe function and durability of these machines.

Example of an Extruder Modification:

Existing Extruder GS 150 K-16/D, 1972 model, completely overhauled and modified to 16/D pin-type extruder with new pin-type barrel and new pin-type extrusion screw for processing of NBR compounds. Entire overhaul of the extruder and gearbox, modification of the input shaft to gearbox front, new hopper section liner for higher throughput rates.
 
Thanks to our longstanding experiences in machine engineering and extrusion technology, we are your competent partner when you plan modifications and conversions of your production machinery and systems.

Example of an Extruder Modification:

Existing Extruder GS 60 K-10/D (side machine to a main extruder) movable on air cushions. We converted the machine to screw length of 16/D by making a new extrusion screw to raise the throughput rate. Furthermore, we adapted the extruder base plate, made a new movable frame and manual hydraulic system to move the extruder. The extruder was equipped with a new drive and switchboard and new extrusion head connection at the main extruder.
