Production and laboratory extrusion lines are essential for various chemical processing applications. It is critical for development and production output requirements that the extrusion lines emphasise flexibility, modularity and serviceability. The reduction in maintenance time is of the upmost importance. Xtrutech have the flexibility to offer a solution for many chemical applications.
Additionally, Xtrutech can offer spare parts to fit with existing OEM equipment. Servicing plans can also be agreed so we can support the optimum performance of your production lines. Inspections and wear measurements are offered to a set scheduled plan, or as a one off support package.
- Xtrutech Chemical Extrusion
Through innovation, Xtrutech continually advances production and laboratory-scale extruder technology, and offers a full model range for various chemical processing requirements. To complement the extruders we also offer a wide range of ancillary equipment, including high speed mixers, feeders, pelletisers and cooling systems.
At our on-site innovation centre we can support trials and demonstrations to prove the customers specific process concept, to identify the optimum production parameters, to gain the maximum efficient quality product output.

- Chemical Extrusion Benefits
Xtrutech’s chemical extruders maintain high efficiency processing without sacrificing quality. This is due to various innovative design features, that protect equipment, reduce maintenance and speed up cleaning processes, such as:
- Segmented insert liners are more cost effective, sanitary and user-friendly compared to standard inserts
- A split stuffing box allows for quick shaft removal and refitting
- Clamshell barrels for easy removal and replacement of screws and shafts
Clamshell geometries are also much more efficient to maintain and clean compared to closed barrel alternatives, resulting in minimum downtime and greater production speeds.
