Vacuum Extruder
VBCC's vacuum extruder is engineered to improve material quality by removing volatiles during extrusion. The built-in vacuum system reduces vent pressure, eliminating moisture, air, solvents, and reactants. It also handles volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at high temperatures, ensuring consistent, high-quality output.
- Versatile Material Handling :Designed to process a wide range of materials such as meta materials, ceramic materials, and metal powders with sufficient plasticity to pass through the die.
- Piston Type Extruder :The piston-driven design ensures smooth and efficient material extrusion, ideal for precise and high-pressure applications.
- Advanced Vacuum System :The extruder features a robust vacuum system with a minimum vacuum level of 10 ¹ Torr (rough vacuum) to enhance material quality by reducing air pockets and improving material density during extrusion.
- Vacuum Pump :Dual-stage rotary vacuum pump with oil trap to ensure consistent vacuum levels and prevent contamination.
- Vacuum Indication :The system includes an analog dial gauge for easy monitoring of vacuum levels during operation.
- Vacuum Timer :A special timer is provided to control the vacuum system, ensuring precise timing and operation.
- Fixed Machine Frame :Mounted in a durable mild steel (MS) frame for stability during operation.
- Precise Extrusion Height :The extrusion height is set to 200 mm from the base level for optimal material flow.
- Single Screw Piston Movement :The machine uses a single screw model connected to the piston for efficient material movement through the die orifice.
- Mechanized Drive :Powered by a 0.5 HP motor, ensuring efficient performance.
- Variable Speed Control :The extruder features a variable speed drive (VFD) for precise control over extrusion speed.
- Polished Stainless Steel Barrel :The barrel is made from high-quality, well-polished stainless steel for durability and smooth operation.
- Customizable Die Size :A single die, customized to the customer’s requirements, is supplied with the extruder. Standard die dimensions include an inner diameter of 5.5 mm and outer diameter of 11.5 mm.
- Improved Material Quality :The vacuum environment significantly improves the extrusion quality by reducing air entrapment, enhancing the material's density and overall consistency.
- Available Options - Single Screw Model :Ideal for simpler extrusion processes, offering good control over material flow.
- Available Options - Twin Screw Model :Provides enhanced mixing and better handling of more complex materials for superior quality and consistency.
- Available Options - Piston Type Model :Suitable for applications requiring precise material pushing and high pressure for more demanding material types.
- Available Options - Vacuum System Option :Rough vacuum created by a dual-stage rotary vacuum pump (minimum 10¹ Torr) with an oil trap, vacuum indication via an analog dial gauge, and a vacuum timer for precise operation control.
