MRS Complete Plasticizing Units
Long-standing experience, combined with design and manufacturing capability, enables MRS to supply complete plasticizing units. Customer requirements are analyzed and the most appropriate proposal is developed to achieve—and improve—the production capability of the entire unit.
MRS plasticizing units are employed in the main plastics-processing technologies—extrusion and injection—and in all contexts where quality, reliability, and customization are essential.
Key Features
Customers can choose to purchase only the technical core (screw, barrel, bushing and feeding section) or rely on MRS for a complete system.
Scope of supply can include:
- Electric heaters: ceramic, insulated, and/or to specification
- Protective guards: insulated stainless steel and/or to specification
- Gearboxes: torque-increasing (epicyclic/planetary) units and/or to specification
- Electric fans in various sizes and specifications
- Frames and bases for the plasticizing unit, on request
- Other accessory components
Contact MRS to design your standard or a tailor-made plasticizing unit. MRS supports every stage to maximize the value of the production process.
