PTFE paste extrusion line
Paste Extrusion Line
For the production of PTFE tubes by the PTFE paste extruder
Wold class solution in PTFE and UHMW-PE technology
The process is done in batch quantities
The PTFE lubricant mixture is first pre-pressed with a Preformpresse to so-called preforms and then filled in a PTFE paste extruder, which operates on the principle of stamp extrusion. Subsequently, the preform is pressed in a cold or slightly preheated state through a conical nozzle. The extrudate is separated from the remaining lubricant within the drying zone and then sintered.
PTFE extrusion process with a PTFE extruder, which is also known as a PTFE paste extruder or only as a PTFE extruder
Paste extrusion is used in the PTFE production of thin tubes, thick tubes, wire insulations and unsintered PTFE tapes. For the PTFE paste extruder, only emulsion polymerization powder is used. The paste is a mixture of these spongy PTFE powder types with moistened organic liquids.
The complete PTFE paste extrusion line consists of:
- Rührgerät
- Vorformpresse
- Pastenextruder
- Trockenofen
- Sinterofen
- Wickler
Keicher offers a combination of:
