Krauss Maffei release new high- end line concept for sealing profiles

The line is designed for processing polypropylene (PP) or thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) of different hardness degrees. The various profile components can be compounded on up to five single screw extruders with screw diameters ranging between 30 and 90 mm. The new line concept has been developed for sealing system producers in the automotive industry as well as for manufacturers of technical profiles used in other branches of the industry.

The flexible machine configurations can be tailored to specific applications: from conventional mono extrusion lines up to hybrid profile production lines with flock-tape systems or steel insert. 

The upstream and downstream equipment such as vacuum conveying system for metering, energy optimised raw material pre-drying, hot-air channel and closed-circuit cooling basin contribute to increased energy efficiency.

“In line with the increasing demand of our customers, we have extended our profile production line portfolio by a reliable solution for composite profiles to further strengthen our market position in the sealing profile segment” said Harald Hepke, Head of Rubber technology at Krauss Maffei.
