A new degassing reaction module for extruders
The ERMO degassing reaction module (photo) is now available for this company’s modular planetary roller extruders. The ERMO can be installed at any point of the process section as a replacement for a standard roller cylinder. The standard planetary spindles are replaced by the larger ERMO planetary spindles and the intermediate rings connected upstream and downstream are replaced by appropriately adapted intermediate rings. The larger diameters of the toothed liner and planetary spindles provide a significantly larger process volume compared to the standard roller cylinder of the same size. The original central spindle can remain and no further modifications of the existing extruder are necessary. Depending on the process requirements, several ERMOs can be installed in line or at individual positions of an extruder processing section. There are various supplementary options, such as side-feeders or additional injection and degassing openings. Hall 4.0, Stand D8 — Entex Rust & Mitschke GmbH, Bochum, Germany
