Entek: New Extruder for the Medical Industry
ENTEK Extruders has recently introduced its new extruder designed for the medical and pharmaceutical industry. The E-MAX 27 mm Twin-Screw Extruder is geared for output rates normally needed for medical and pharmaceutical applications, yet it has all of the user-friendly features that have made ENTEK’s other machines so successful. The machine is fully modular and self-contained, requiring only one power connection. The heating/cooling systems, as well as the PLC are mounted under the extruder in water and dust resistant enclosures. In addition to ease of installation, this feature assures trouble-free operation and makes servicing easier. The machine’s stainless steel exterior ensures fast and easy cleanup and protects the machine from corrosion. Just like the larger models of E-MAX twin-screw extruders, the 27 mm features an AC vector drive system and an Allen-Bradley PLC equipped with optional Ethernet for remote monitoring and troubleshooting.
