In the discharge extruder, stabilizing additives can be homogeneously incorporated and melt temperature precisely controlled. The modular design of the KE single-screw extruder allows process-specific adjustment of temperature control, homogeneity, component mixing, and degassing.

To remove volatile substances, KraussMaffei Extrusion relies on highly efficient vacuum systems. Especially with polyethylene as well as homo- and copolymers, extruder degassing offers clear advantages over silo degassing: higher molecular substances are removed more effectively, improving processing and preserving product properties.
