Piston extrusion – for uncompromisingly good products
Shaping in perfection: LOOMIS PRODUCTS piston extrusion presses meet the highest requirements for extruding pasty masses into tubes, rods, honeycomb bodies and other profiles.
Advantages of piston extrusion presses compared to screw extruders.
Low wear even with abrasive products
Very low maintenance costs / times
Minimal wear, thus hardly any contamination of the product by abrasion particles
No structure transfer in the product
Problem-free processing of porous, shear-sensitive masses
No pulsation of mass
No re-extrusion of the mass
Very high pressing forces
Easy start-up / cleaning without loss of mass
Ideal for laboratory use
The extruders can be supplied in various versions with a pressing force of up to over 6,300 kN (630 tons).
Application-optimized –
thanks to double tilt system or side-swing function
The Double Tilt system allows both the cylinder and the press frame to be hydraulically swiveled independently between 0° (horizontal) and 90° (vertical) to set the optimal loading and most efficient extrusion position .
The Side-Swing system allows the press to be automatically loaded with prefabricated hubs and enables extrusion positions of up to 45°.
