Two Extruder Technology
Functionality
The use of two extruders enables parameters such as speed and temperature to be set independently. In this way, plastics and additives are melted into a homogeneous mixture in the first extruder according to requirements. At the same time, in the second extruder, reinforcing fibers in the form of continuous rovings are fed, cut and wetted with the previously melted plastic mixture. This material-conserving division of the process steps is essential for the production of high-quality components with long fibers and continuously adjustable fiber contents.
Your benefits with a LFT-D compounding line
More efficient and flexible LFT production with demand-oriented extruder pairs specially designed for the use of various thermoplastic materials.
In combination with other processes such as the tailored blank technology, UD tapes can be used in a material-efficient and load-oriented manner. Components with demanding mechanical properties can be produced by back molding or hybrid solutions.
Material-friendly, sustainable and efficient also through the use of recycled polymers and natural fibers.
A fully automated concept including line control and product-specific recipe management.
Reduction of material usage and improved part quality thanks to the LFT-D servo die. The use of the servo-hydraulic nozzle ensures optimum flow behavior in the mold thanks to a pre-contoured LFT-D semi-finished product. The thickness of the material can be influenced specifically.
Gentle incorporation of reinforcing fibers enables longer fiber contents and thus higher-quality components.
