Rapidex - the turbo for PE-pipe up to 1,600 kg/h

The Rapidex single-screw extruder has made it possible for the first time to reach high output levels in pipe extrusion with small-sized extruders.

Major benefits:

Rapidex extruders offer numerous advantages compared to conventional, slowly turning extruders, such as:

  • smaller footprint
  • extremely simple handling for maintenance
  • substantially reduced sound level
  • low costs for spare parts, since the plasticizing units used are much smaller than in conventional extruders
  • less heat loss through radiation
  • substantially higher degree of efficiency with torque motor technology and consequently lower operating costs

General features - Drive technology:

The screw is directly driven by a frequency-controlled AC torque motor without gears which allows extended maintenance intervalls of up to 10,000 hours. The end of the screw forms a continuous straight line with the motor shaft. The motor itself and the frequency converter are both water cooled. The smooth-running motor ensures a vibration-free, low-noise extrusion process even at extremely high screw speeds.

Rapidex reaches higher output rates with smaller screw diameters
