SAVE UP TO 675.000 kWh ANNUALY ON YOUR ENERGY CONSUMPTION!
MEAF Machines produces the most energy-efficient sheet extrusion lines for film an sheet available on the market! The MEAF H-series extruders are equipped with an energy efficient design, consisting of an optimisation of key-components, such as;
- screw- and barrel- design;
- heating elements;
- temperature profile during sheet extrusion.
This provides a unique concept when it comes to energy saving, which has proven itself already for many years!
Due to the optimised design of the H-series, it is possible to generate average energy consumption between 0.18 and 0.22 kW/kg! This consumption is for the complete extrusion line, including:
- the diehead;
- the calander;
- the take-off unit;
- accumulator and winding system
In order to further minimize the energy consumption, our extruders can be equipped with ceramic, isolated heating elements. These save up to 33% on electric consumption by transporting the radiation heat directly into the extruder barrel.
Advantages of these isolated heating elements are the possibility of heat recuperation (which can also be used for different applications), safe to touch upto 450 °C and the elements are easy dis- and remounted for extruder maintenance.
The MEAF sheet extrusion lines are designed to:
- Be sustainable due to a total lower energy consumption of 50% compared to competitors;
- Be compact, thereby reducing the required footprint in your factory;
- Be customisable (even after sales) due to modular design principle;
- Work with multiple materials, without having to change the screw;
- Adjustable to the Customer’s individual requirements and needs when it comes to key components or space requirements;
- Have a long operating lifetime due to continued support of MEAF with wear & tear parts;
- Be easily maintained by using standard components which can be acquired quickly and locally when needed;
- Produce higher output at lower melt temperatures and RPM (<250 RPM);
- Have a short material residence time, reduces wear on the material;
- Produce with high ratios of regrind (up to 100%);
- Operator friendly with an in-house developed operating system, “ExtruSol”;
