Extruding with the E35

Written by Tom Lipop | 27-Oct-2020 14:21:01

The Caleva Extruder 35 is capable of processing batch sizes from 250g to 5kg (wet weight) of product to create an hourly output of approximately 100kg (product dependent).

The E35 works with a large range of materials, including pharmaceutical materials, catalysts and agricultural products.

 

The Extruder

The screen used for extrusion can be configured to your needs, with different diameter and depth die holes. These can range from 0.5 to 2.0 mm (diameter) and 0.5 to 2.0 mm (depth)

The E35 extrudes material by using rollers that push product through a screen. Screen extrusion is a more gentle type of extrusion, generating less heat than other methods such as screw extrusion.

 

Benefits of the E35:

  • Inbuilt thermometer to read product temperature.
  • High output with lower heat generation due to screen extrusion method.
  • Easy to assemble and disassemble, making cleaning quick to allow for fast turn around.
  • Relatively small and easy to move due to having lockable wheels on the base.
