MEX T Eco is ideal for users wanting to produce small to medium-sized outputs at speeds of up to 600 rpm. The compact machine features a user-friendly and easy-to-maintain control concept. Some core components, such as the gearbox or safety coupling, are manufactured in Europe. With its high-technology components and custom manufacturing combination, the MEX T Eco offers an unparalleled price/performance ratio, making it an ideal machine for entry-level companies. The MEX T Eco series twin-screw extruders are designed for a wide variety of uses in the plastics industry, particularly ideal for processing products with high MFI values.

The torque density obtained from the reducer can go up to 13Nm/cm3. For example, in an extruder with a 70mm screw diameter running at 600 rpm using a 330 KW motor, a torque density of 13Nm/cm3 per shaft can be achieved.

Primary application areas:

• Production and processing of engineering plastics

• Masterbatch production

• Processing of PVC products in the Eco Standard Two-Stage version.  

Choosing the Right Twin Screw Extruder for Your Needs  

To select the right twin screw extruder, it is important to consider the following factors:

• Process Requirements: First, you must determine the specific requirements of your manufacturing process. Which materials will you process? What products do you plan to produce? What production capacity do you need? Answering these questions is a fundamental step for choosing the right twin screw extruder.

• Material and Properties: You should evaluate the properties of the materials you will process. Viscosity, flow properties, thermal behaviour and other material characteristics must be compatible with the design and specifications of the twin-screw extruder. Material compatibility is critical for quality production and desired product properties.

• Extruder Design: The design of twin-screw extruders is an important factor affecting their performance. Factors such as the diameter, length, number of steps and profile design of the screws affect the process of mixing, melting and advancing the materials. You should also consider other design features such as thermal control systems, feeding mechanisms and accessories.

• Quality and Reliability: Choosing a quality twin-screw extruder ensures long-term efficiency and reliability. Choosing a reliable manufacturer or supplier ensures you get a solid product and good customer support. Checking references is important to verify that the manufacturer adheres to quality standards and cares about customer satisfaction.

• Cost and Budget: Prices for twin-screw extruders can vary by design, features and manufacturer. Considering your budget and cost expectations, you should choose the option that best suits your needs. However, instead of automatically choosing the cheapest option, it is important to evaluate other factors; quality, performance, lifetime, energy consumption and long-term cost advantages, the most important of which is the product capacity to be produced per hour.

FEATURES OF THE MONOMEX TWIN SCREW EXTRUDERS

Benefits of Using Twin Screw Extruder

• Wider Range of Materials: Twin screw extruders can be suitable for a wider range of materials than single screw extruders. They can be a more suitable option for processing materials of different viscosities.

• Better Thermal Control: Twin screw extruders generally provide better thermal control. This can help to more evenly manage the temperature of the material being processed and reduce unwanted thermal distortions.

• Less Energy Consumption: In some cases, twin-screw extruders can consume less energy compared to their single-screw alternatives. They can reduce energy costs by providing a more efficient process.

• Better Pressure Control: Twin-screw extruders can provide better pressure control. This can help achieve more consistent products by preventing unwanted deformation of the material.

• Better Mixing: Twin-screw extruders provide more homogeneous mixing of materials. The two screws rotate in the same direction with each other, helping to achieve a homogeneous material distribution and products with better physical properties. This ensures that products have more consistent properties.

• Better Thermal Control: Twin screw extruders provide better thermal control during material processing. The fact that each screw can be heated individually and temperature profiles can be set independently allows for more precise control of the material processing process. This results in better achievement of the desired product quality and properties.

• Better Transfer and Feeding: Twin screw extruders provide better transfer and feeding of the material. The two screws rotate in the same direction with each other, allowing the material to move forward more efficiently. This provides a smoother and more stable flow in the material feeding process.

• Wide Application Area: Twin screw extruders are capable of processing a wide range of materials. It provides flexibility for processing materials with different viscosity and properties. This provides diversity in various industries and in the production of plastic products.
