German machinery maker Troester GmbH & Co. KG has extended the Rotomex technology, also known as ZX series, for straining of rubber compounds.
The new developed ZX 150/120 and ZX 170/130 also meet to the demand for more output and reach up to 4,800 lbs/h depending on construction size. The ZX series, which belongs to the group of gear extruders, reaches henceforth an output of up to 590-4,800 lbs/h with corresponding rubber density and viscosity.
The compact construction with proven feed gear shaft technology and the usual simple handling enable the use in mixing room and extrusion line.
To take into account rubber compound properties of tires and technical rubber goods, the drive shafts as well as housing and head are designed to be tempered separately. At a processing pressure of up to 35 MPa and a continuous monitoring of all relevant process parameters it is ensured that the now available ZX 150/120 and ZX 170/130 meet the requirements and there is nothing to prevent from a reliable operation.
