Introducing Advanced Extrusion Technology
To support this collaboration, Orbetron has launched www.OrbetronExtrusion.com, a dedicated platform showcasing advanced twin, quad, and octo screw extrusion technologies. Through this initiative, Orbetron is providing manufacturers with access to highly specialized low-rate feeding and single/twin feeding technologies that are tailored to meet the stringent requirements of compound extruders.
At the core of Orbetron’s contribution is its expertise in low-rate feeding solutions, designed to handle the most precise feeding applications required by modern extrusion processes. By integrating its technologies with Technovel’s high-performance extruders, Orbetron ensures that both lab-scale and production-scale applications achieve optimal efficiency and accuracy.
Expanding R&D Capabilities in North Carolina
As part of this partnership, Orbetron’s North Carolina-based lab is conducting active trials with small extruders, including the KZW15mm twin extruder, for lab-based compounding applications. These trials aim to refine process parameters and develop best-in-class feeding solutions that meet the needs of manufacturers engaged in pilot-scale or laboratory-based extrusion projects.
Interested parties exploring lab or pilot-based extrusion applications are encouraged to reach out to Orbetron for collaboration opportunities.
