KOMAX & DEXSEN applications

KOMAX & DEXSEN extruders are the right combination of productivity and energy saving at the right price.

Which applications are available for KOMAX & DEXSEN extruders and extrusion lines?

KOMAX and DEXSEN offer extruders and complete tailor-made extrusion lines engineered for all customers who need to combine significant production speeds with a high technological content and the excellent quality of materials.

These machines are engineered for a wide range of plastic products and a large number of different applications.

They can be summarized in the following production categories:

Pipes and Tubes

These products consist of a single layer or multilayers of compounds with several different applications for the following business sectors:

• Automotive
• Building
• Construction
• Medium & High-pressure

Depending on the final application, KOMAX extruders produce:

• Smooth tubes and pipes
• Corrugated tubes
• High pressure tubes

These pipes and tubes can have various diameters, from 5 mm to more than 130 mm, and the KOMAX lines produce them using the most requested thermoplastic compounds available on the market, such as: LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, PVC, PP, PA, PU, TPV, TPU….

Profiles

These products consist of a single layer or multilayers of compounds with various applications for the following business sectors:

• Automotive (e.g. sealing parts…)
• Home (e.g. roller shutters, base boards, door profiles, windows, furniture…)
• Swimming pools (e.g. tiles, boards…)
• Electrical (e.g. cable ducts…)

Depending on the final application, KOMAX extruders produce:

• Complex profiles
• Profiles with thin thicknesses
• Heavy-duty profiles with large thicknesses

The profiles can be rigid or flexible with various weights, ranging from a few grams to several kilograms per linear meter.

KOMAX lines extrude the most commonly requested thermoplastic compounds available on the market, such as: PVC (rigid and soft) ABS, PP (solid and foamed), PE with various densities, re-granulated PE and PVC, PC, PA, PU….

Wires & Cables

Wires and cables are insulated with a single layer or multilayers of compounds according to various applications for the following business sectors:

• Automotive
• Building
• Construction
• Power distribution
• Datacom and telecommunication

Depending on the final application, KOMAX extruders produce:

• Round insulated wires, coloured with stripes or sheathing
• Sectoral insulated wires, coloured with stripes
• Cables with filling and sheathing or jacketing
• Flat wires and cables

These wires and cables can have various diameters, from 0.5 mm to more than 130 mm, and the KOMAX & DEXSEN lines produce them using the most requested thermoplastic and thermosetting compounds available on the market, such as: LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, PVC, PP, PA, PU, TPU, PEEK, XLPE, XL-FR, HFFR….

Including fluorinated polymers such as FEP, PFA, PTFE.

Steel Wires & Ropes

Steel wires and ropes are covered with a single layer of compounds according to various applications for the following business sectors:

• Construction
• Infrastructures
• Defence
• Environment

Depending on the final application, KOMAX extruders produce:

• Single covered wire
• Covered PC strand
• Single covered rope

These wire and ropes can have various diameters, from 1 mm to more than 50 mm, and the KOMAX & DEXSEN lines cover them using the most requested thermoplastic compounds available on the market, such as: LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, PVC, PA, PP, PU….
