Crossheads, tubing dies.

The company has enhanced its 700 Series line of crossheads and its 900 Series of in-line tubing dies to accommodate the extrusion of tube and pipe, plastics, fluoropolymers and rubber end products of up to 12" in diameter. Prior to this larger extrusion capability, the company had offered crosshead or inline tubing dies of up to 6" in diameter. The larger-size tooling is engineered for a multitude of applications, according to the company, serving extruders in petroleum and gas, water and sanitation, waste management and pollution control, OEM, food service, automotive, industrial and telecom. The Series 700 and 800 are said to offer outstanding benefits, including a spiral flow configuration with a patent pending FeatherTouch adjustment in the die holder and a cartridge-style ball assembly that does not require the loosening of retaining screws, according to the manufacturer. The larger diameter 700 and 900 Series are also said to incorporate a reduced extrudate memory set, low material inventory, balanced material flow distribution and elimination of dead spots. They are said to be readily adaptable to all extruders. (Guill Tool & Engineering)
