By integrating the extrusion operations of Krauss-Maffei and Berstorff in the single KraussMaffei Berstorff brand, we have strengthened our position as a system supplier capable of offering singlevendor solutions for all the main plastics and rubber extrusion processes.
The Extrusion Technology Division supplies machinery and systems for compounding, for pipe, profile and sheet extrusion, physical foaming, and the production of technical rubbers and intermediates for tire production. Our machinery - from single extruders to complete extrusion lines - is used in many industries, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive, construction, furniture and packaging.
Plastics processing
- Single-screw extruders from 250 to 800 mm screw diameter for degassing LDPE, throughput up to 74 t/h.
- Twin-screw extruders from 25 to 324 mm screw diameter for a wide range of applications in processing plastics and other raw materials.
- All extrusion line components for producing pipe from 12 to 2000 mm diameter, including automation components to maximize material savings. Extrusion lines for standard and complex non-standard pipe. Conical twin-screw extruders, parallel 32D twin-screw extruders, single-screw extruders and coextruders for integrated extrusion systems in piggyback or tandem configurations.
- Application-specific solutions for flexible output of window profiles and small and medium technical profiles.
- Lines for cost-effective production of plastic film and sheet. These are complete, highly-customized production lines - from raw materials handling to winding or stacking.
- Foam extrusion systems for physical foaming of PS, PE, PP and other heat resistant plastics such as PET, PEI and PES. Perfectly coordinated systems incorporating single- and twin-screw extruders. Plastics calendering systems for PVC-U und PVC-P film and sheet.
Rubber processing
- Extruders and extrusion lines for the production of tyre profile components and technical rubber intermediates.
- Profile lines incorporating high-performance extruders, vulcanization know-how and downstream for continuous production of profiles from rubber, TPE or silicone.
- High pressure tubing and hoses: we supply turnkey application-specific production lines, fully-automated for continuous production of tubing and hoses. Our expertise is at your disposal - from assistance with formulations to quality control.
- Roll covering systems for coating rolls, sleeves or tubing fast and efficient with almost any rubber compound.
- AUMA rotary presses for simultaneous laminating and vulcanizing of several layers of rubber sheet.
- V-belt production systems: complete systems for producing wrapped and raw-edge v-belts and ribbed v-belts.
