Application
In combination with the large program of screws and die heads,
Brabender® stand-alone extruders are perfectly suited for
Equipped with a grooved feed zone and a barrier screw and an appropriate
drive power, throughputs comparable to high-performance
extrusion can be achieved.A large program of downstream equipment is available to set up complete processing lines.

Expandability
The CAN bus system of the standalone extruders is a multi-master
system with self-supporting modules like temperature controllers,
pressure sensors, etc. Additional equipment for the extruder like dosing
units, melt pumps, etc. as well as manifold downstream equipment
incl. the corresponding control system can easily be integrated via
the CAN bus into the extrusion line with CAN PC control. This makes
the new series extremely flexible and open to expansion whenever needed.

Software
The convincing features of the stand-alone extruder series are
completed by a powerful control and evaluation software under
Windows®, saving of operation and evaluation data in a MS Access database,
and convertibility of the data for commercial Office programs.
A special data correlation program is available for further analysis of the test results. Apart from manual operation, these machine can optionally network
with local data nets.

Self-intelligence
The self-intelligence of temperature controllers, speed controller, and
pressure sensors includes selfvalidation (recognition of type,measuring range and admissible operating parameters) and automatic self-diagnostics.
In combination with digital realtime data communication, this provides for utmost operationalsafety of the entire system.
