Maag took first place in the Extrusion category with its new extrex⁶ EC PVC pump. It is the world’s first gear pump specifically designed for the continuous conveyance of rigid PVC, opening a new chapter in PVC extrusion.
Technological highlights of the extrex⁶ EC:
- Gap-free construction with no dead zones: The innovative design eliminates dead spaces and prevents prolonged residence times of the material. This stops thermal decomposition and ensures a stable, clean process.
- Up to 50% greater efficiency in the extruder: The uniform, pressure-stable conveying significantly reduces the load on the extruder. Depending on the application, throughput can be significantly increased or energy savings of up to 50% achieved.
- Reduction in process temperature by up to 10 °C: The optimised temperature control reduces the thermal stress on the material. This makes the use of expensive stabilisers unnecessary in some cases – a considerable economic advantage.
