Battenfeld: Extrusion line from China for the world market
Battenfeld Extrusionstechnik GmbH, Bad Oeynhausen, Germany further ex-tended its wide range of machinery in the middle of last year by introducing techBEX, the standardized turnkey line for small profiles. More than 30 techBEX lines were already sold within the first six months, some of which have gone to new European and Asian customers.
Complete line competence for the pipe, profile, film and sheet industries is a special strength of the Bad Oeynhausen machine manufacturer. With all components per-fectly matched, the extrusion line specialist offers its customers cost-efficient equipment with a high degree of reliability, high product quality standards and minimal downtime and reject rates. Two universal compact lines for the profile industry have already been successful on the market for some time, i.e. the miniBEX for small technical profiles and the winBEX for window main profiles. This range has now been extended by the low-cost techBEX standard line. It is manufactured and assembled completely in China and distributed world-wide. It costs about 30% less than conventional lines, yet its technology is on a high level. techBEX lines are avail-able either with the BCE 1-45-25 D single-screw extruder for an output of 40 kg/h or with the BCE 1-60-25 D extruder for a performance of about 60 kg/h. The down-stream equipment package includes a calibrating table, a belt haul-off, a flying knife cutter, a servo saw and a tip table.
With Battenfeld Extrusion Systems Ltd. in the Chinese city of Shunde, where tech-BEX is manufactured, American Maplan Corp., McPherson, USA and Battenfeld Ex-trusionstechnik, companies of the Battenfeld extrusion sector are present on three continents, marketing the universally standardized extrusion lines globally and providing local customer support worldwide. Wolfgang Studener, President and CEO of Battenfeld Extrusionstechnik GmbH, is pleased with the success of the new line: ‘With techBEX, we have further extended our machinery range and are now in a position to offer solutions to suit a broad customer base, from basic standard lines to high-end extrusion lines that are still being manufactured here in Germany.’
