Hot Melt Extrusion

Hot Melt Extrusion is the new mixer extrusion range that builds on the proven Umang technology and its benefits. Similar design of the twin screws, extrusion die and cutting mechanism in the process and validation, so that there is no difference to the extrusion process. This unique design of segmented twin screws, mixing attachments and cutting makes the not only a perfect hot melt extrusion granulator but also an ideal machine for performing one stop operations.

The outstanding feature of the Hot Melt Extrusion range is the the twin screw segmented barrel and twin screw feeders attached to it for uniform and continuous product feeding. Connections, cabling and supplies are completely integrated, covered and sealed so the outside of the machine is smooth and very easy to clean. Our system Hot Melt Extrusion is a result of high level of engineering expertise and product technology knowledge, quick product changeover increases productivity and cost effectiveness.

The Hot Melt Extrusion capacity ranges from few 100 gms. to 150 kgs. / hr. featuring through the wall design and movable head, allowing operation with platform and dust-free discharging via a linked mill directly into an IBC. The Hot Melt Extrusion can be stand-alone or linked to a Cone Mill or Multi Mill to form an integrated system.
