MODEL TBDC - TWIN BORE DIE CHANGER

A Die Changer is a device for changing dies on an extrusion line without interrupting the process.  Die Changers are commonly used on polymer, rubber and ceramic production lines.

The high-speed movement allows the die to be exchanged within a few seconds, depending on the die size.

A Die Changer can be fitted to a production line downstream of a screen changer, and one hydraulic unit can operate both, the Screen Changer and the Die Changer.

Die Changers are custom-built for a specific process, in consultation with the customer.  Can be heated or cooled, depending on the working demands and are suitable to operate with a variety of materials, at working temperatures between +5˚ C to + 300˚ C and melt pressures of up to 450 BAR.

The units can be designed to accept existing or new die plates, as requested.  If required, the extruder screw can be extended to within millimetres of the die plate.  The units can be fitted to Single or Twin Screw Extruders and can operate on automatic mode, if required.
