FAQ
Q1: Does the machine support two- or three-layer co-extrusion? Can layer thickness be adjusted?
A: Yes. It supports ABA, ABC, and other multi-layer configurations, with independently adjustable layer thickness.
Q2: Can recycled or trimmed materials be used?
A: Yes. The system supports the use of recycled and edge-trimmed materials.
Q3: Is the control system equipped with HMI and recipe management?
A: Yes. The PLC + HMI interface includes recipe storage for convenient operation.
Q4: Is inline thickness monitoring and automatic control available?
A: Inline thickness measurement is included; automatic thickness control is available as an option.
Q5: Are automatic screen changers or quick-change die modules available?
A: Not included by default. Some modules are available as optional upgrades.
Q6: Can the extruder be connected to a thermoforming machine for inline production?
A: Yes. Inline forming is supported, eliminating the need for sheet rewinding and saving space.
