New Maxxim™ Series Extrusion Systems from Extru-tech, Inc. dramatically increase industry standards for productivity.

Extru-Tech, Inc. announces the introduction of the all new Maxxim™ Series Extrusion Systems. The new line of enhanced single screw  cooking extruders are capable of 20 to 30% production rate increases over previous models with the same barrel diameter. Extru-Tech's Inline drive system has been re-engineered to handle up to 600 hp compared to 350 on previous models. In addition, many ongoing improvements have been made to the barrel design, including changes to the screw profiles and the ribbing design in the sleeves. Other improvements include a screw support assembly that eliminates metal to metal wear. This assembly also allows for thermal expansion, which occurs as the screws are heated up to operating temperature. Other features and benefits include:

• Dramatically increased throughput capacity

• Higher operational speeds

• Larger drive motor

• Improvements to barrel design

• Improved profiles on screws

• Changes to the sleeves, continuous flight

• Barrel support with thermal expansion assembly

• Improved die design

• Replaceable die faces for lower operational costs

• Wear ring for improved life span

Extru-Tech, Inc. also manufacturers other components used in the extrusion cooling process, including dryers, coolers, coating equipment, conveying equipment, automated controls, and replacement parts for many different brands of extruders.
