Gimac Micro Extruders

Microextruder Ø12, Ø14 and Ø18

Microextruders projected to solve problems as regards microproduction of medicines and biopolymers to satisfy the requirements for extrusion and co-extrusion of normal technical profiles. We offer therefore a wide range of microextruders for productions from few grams per hour up to some kilos per hour.

They are well used in plastic, chemical, pharmaceutical and medical industry, centres of research and universities.

These microextruders are able to extrude all thermoplastic materials such as PVC, PU, PE, PP, PC, PA, PMMA, PSU, PBT, LCP, PLG, PEEK, FEP, ETFE, PVDF etc. in shapes and dimensions of granules normally used in commerce. For extrusion of powder or microspheres, we offer proper studied screw and barrel units. It is also possible to supply plasticization units manufactured from intergranular-corrosion resistant materials or scoring resistant materials and/or strong materials against high temperatures.

Our machines are projected in order to give the highest reliability for a continuous service 24 hours above 24 hours even under pressures until 500 Bar with a high precision capacity. This machines are equiped with a breaking prevent screw protection through safety joint at calibrated breaking.

They offer the possibility to work in horizontal position, vertical and intermediate inclinations.

These microextruders are mainly used for industrial- level productions of:
- small medical tubes and micro-profiles
- micro-capsulation
- co-extrusion of coloured stripes on tubes, cables and profiles
- co-extrusion in blow moulding
- co-extrusion of filaments

The attached document shows the key features of the Gimac Micro Extruder.
