NFM Iddon: New Single Screw Plastics Extruders
NFM Iddon of Leyland in Lancashire, formerly Iddon Bros., has launched a new range of single screw plastics extruders from 20 mm to 250 mm in diameter. These machines can be supplied with various options including vented barrels, AC or DC Drives, high output screw designs and mixing elements, and are fitted as standard with PLC touch screen controls and bi-metallic barrels. A major innovation of the range is the use of the monoclamp and swing hinge, which eliminates downtime for tool changeovers by offering instant access to tools and offers leaf-free production. The clamp is fitted to the company’s extensive range of co-rotating twin screw and rubber extruders. The range of plastics extruders are aimed at the compounding market to complement the TEM range of co-rotating twin screw extruders, however NFM also has available high output screw designs for polyolefin pipe, profile, cable and sheet extrusion for all sizes of single screw machines. NFM has supplied larger than 250 mm OD extruders previously and can tailor any size to a specific customer specification. The company can also provide turn key extrusion systems incorporating downstream equipment, materials handling, gauging and support frames and stillages.
