Variants
ZE 28 BluePower (Laboratory Extruder)
The ZE 28 BP is the laboratory model among our extruders, designed with a compact build and practical features. With a torque density of 13.6 Nm/cm³, up to 1200 RPM, the electrical UltraGlide system, and a strand head with quick-change nozzles, it offers maximum flexibility. Smooth surfaces allow easy cleaning, and up to 4 SideFeeders can be integrated.
UltraGlide
The UltraGlide technology allows an easy screw removal and disassembly in the direction of the powertrain. Available for sizes 28–166 (28: electric), it enables convenient movement of the powertrain in two directions for sizes 42–166, ensuring fast access and simple rear disassembly of the screws.
ZE 42, 52, 65 & 80 BluePower
The midsized extruders are for all typical compounding and recycling applications. These extruders offer you a torque density of 16 Nm/cm3 and maximum RPM of 1200 1/min. Smooth surfaces allow easy cleaning and up to 4 sidefeeders can be integrated.
ZE 98, 122, 142, 166 & 186 BluePower
The large extruders are for high throughput compounding and recycling applications. In addition these extruders are commonly used in foam and sheet applications. These extruders offer you a torque density of 16 Nm/cm3 and a high RPM. Smooth surfaces allow easy cleaning and up to 4 sidefeeders can be integrated.
