Double extrusion line by Bausano

Extrusion Lines for Single and Double Output Pipes

Bausano has announced that it will be attending K 2022 . It is the perfect setting to introduce industry professionals to the increasingly high-performing Smart Energy System for cylinder induction heating , which helps to reduce energy consumption significantly . The system will be on display at the stand on both a twin screw extruder from the Nextmover range and on the new single screw extruder E-GO R , designed for recycling plastics . More precisely , the Smart Energy System designed by Bausano features forced-cooled induction coils with special openings that allow air to pass through and the temperature sensor to be installed . The coil is wrapped in highly insulating materials to minimise heat loss from the cylinder to the outside . Moreover , thanks to its innovative internal design , the cooling airflow is channelled directly onto the plasticising cylinder for faster cooling compared to resistive systems . These features can be summed up as

follows :

• Even heat distribution and lower coil surface temperature ;

• Quick heating up to 250 ° C ;

• Extremely accurate temperature control thanks to reduced thermal inertia .

Specifically , the Nextmover extruder , equipped with Smart Energy System , will be on display at the trade fair , along with a double output head for pipes manufacturing PVC pipes . Bausano intends to show visitors how , thanks to its technology , the overall productivity of 2,000 kg / h can be achieved for diameters from 63 mm to 160 mm while saving 35 % energy . Other essential factors for the success of the entire process are the cooling and calibration benches , made of stainless steel for pipes that are cut perfectly to size and have a flawless surface . Specifically , the line with a double output head , showcased at K in its complete configuration , has two 9 m dual-chamber parallel calibration benches with temperature and water level control , which allows for creating different vacuum conditions as required . In addition , the high-performance pipe cooling system cools the pipes more quickly , thus improving their quality

and taking up less space when installing the line . On the other hand , thanks to the 4.0 control system covering the entire line , Digital Extruder Control , with a 21-inch screen , the consumption during each stage of the process can be accurately monitored . The real-time performance display enables intervention to manage motor power , temperature , oil control unit inspection , screw adjustment and other parameters on request . Furthermore , the line meets the Smart Factory vertical integration requirements , allowing communication with third-party systems , such as the sophisticated in-line measurement tool to accurately check the pipe ’ s internal and external diameter and wall thickness . Ultimately , K will be an opportunity to launch , for the first time in Europe , the groundbreaking E-GO R technology , which can be used to feed highly contaminated plastics back into production processes . Some examples are HDPE waste from containers for milk , motor oil , shampoos and conditioners , soap , detergents , and bleach . Other applications include PP waste from lunch boxes , yoghurt pots , syrup and medicine bottles , caps

and LDPE waste from cling film , shopping bags , and squeezable bottles . ‘ The expansion of the extrusion lines for PVC and PO pipes and for recycling plastics is the result of our unique ability to combine process consultancy , a passion for innovation and technological expertise ,’ says Clemente Bausano , Vice President of Bausano . “ In this regard , throughout the event , our clients will have the chance to get to know our new team of experts in the Technical Department , who have specific skills and extensive knowhow when it comes to designing these types of solutions ,’ and then concludes by saying that ‘ Innovations in the production of granules , which has always been one of Bausano ’ s strengths , will also be showcased . The company ’ s goal is to meet the needs of plastics manufacturers by combining turnkey , highly customisable systems with top-notch customer service .’
