D6/2 Compounder

D6/2 Compounder

The 42mm parallel, counter-rotating, intermeshing screws create a high shear, high intensity mixing action. The design is ideal for intimate blending, mixing, and compounding of thermoplastics and elastomers.

Despite the relatively short L/D ratio (7:1), residence times are actually longer than extruders twice its length. This is partially due to the mixing notches in the metering zone of the screws.

The D6/2 is capable of outputs up to eight pounds per hour and successfully compounds filler levels as high as 85% without exceeding the torque overload coupling’s maximum rating of 24,000 mg.

The extruder features two zone heater/cooler collars on the barrel. The feed throat can be chilled with water to prevent bridging.
