Uth: Fine-mesh straining and extrusion systems

Equipped with a further expanded product range within the roll-ex fine-mesh straining system and the extrusion system, Uth GmbH says to provide solutions that contribute to increase the product quality and the economic efficiency in the manufacture of rubber-, silicone goods and tyres.

Commissioning of a fine-mesh straining system

Fine-mesh straining of final compound in mixing lines is regarded as a very innovative solution, says Uth. According to the company, it is advantageous to use roll-ex gear extruders even when frequent compound changes or coloured materials are needed, as they can be quickly and thoroughly cleaned due to their patented design. The modular roll-ex system can be combined with a two-roll feeder (TRF), a screw feeder, or a conical twin-screw extruder. Throughput rates range from 70 – 6,000 kg/h within standard applications; special applications yield throughput rates well beyond this scope. Precision extrusion is a further focus in the application of roll-ex gear extruders and gear pumps, where high operating pressure of up to 800 bars can be applied. In this area, Uth supplies complete lines as a system solution for the manufacture of rubber-coated wire, yarn, or fibre components.
