Reactive extrusion at its best
David Hermanns and Thomas Malzahn from ENTEX visited Polymaterials AG at Chempark in Leverkusen to inspect a size 50 Planetary Roller Extruder (PRE) which has been in operation for decades. The two PREs are mainly used for reactive extrusion and polymer processing. Plant manager Wolfgang Paczenski appreciates the advantages of the ENTEX PRE over conventional extrusion systems, the reliability and the excellent ENTEX services.
