KOMAX Skills

How KOMAX develops its products

KOMAX is fully customer-oriented and focused on state-of-the-art technology for our extruders and co-extruders. Thanks to our skilled and expert team, we can quickly meet and fulfil the requests of our customers. This ability allows us to develop dedicated machines and processes as requested.

KOMAX concepts

EFFITECH is our energy saving policy
Energy consumption, both for electricity, cooling water and compressed air, is without doubt a key point in the choice of an extruder. 
Komax has for many years focussed on the control of energy consumption by choosing the right technology and looking for innovative solutions where the main aspects are: 
Last generation of AC motors (e.g. IE4 motors controlled by very accurate drive units)
Use of a synchronous motor without magnetic flow
Motor installed directly on the gearbox in order to avoid the use of belts and chains, leading to an improved performance of the drive chain.
Ceramic-coated resistors for a faster temperature increase.
Hood of the heating device with a double insulated wall to heat the barrel and not the production hall.
Grooves on the surface of the barrel for a more effective performance of the air blower.
Systematic regulation of the cooling circuit through a solenoid valve and a thermocouple for the temperature control of the cooling element (PID), which consequently leads to a reduction of the water consumption.

FORMTECH: our technical knowhow for extruder installation.
We can offer different versions of extruders depending on the series and size of the extruder. These different installations are marked by the letters I, L, U and Z which describe the arrangement of the elements: barrel-gearmotor-motor. This allows us to tailor-make the shape and the size of the extruder or co-extruder according to your needs.
