COLLIN PILOT LINE BLOWN FILM LINES P (AIR-COOLED)
COLLIN blown film lines are used in various ways: Production of multi-layer films as well as the production of film hoses in the food and medical sector. The modular system from COLLIN allows the configuration of lines with 13 layers and the suitable screw diameters. The machines can be equipped with melt pumps and gravimetric dosing systems in order to guaranteemeeting the necessary wall thickness proportions. COLLIN PILOT LINE blown film lines are delivered with machine platforms on which the take-off is positioned. The take-off can be designed either statically or as vertical turning bar system. The lay-flat of the take-off has exchangable frames (e.g. carbon rolls, wooden laths, etc.). In principles, for these lines, there is a wide range of features available, such as thickness measurement, annealing tank, corona, camera or edge cutting.
COLLIN LAB LINE Extruder P
For more than 50 years, COLLIN has been having experience in the mechanical engineering of single-screw extruders. This know how is always state-of-the-art and influences the continuous further development of the extruders. This expertise is always up to date with the latest technology and influences the ongoing development of the extruders. Particularly in the recent years, COLLIN has developed two extruder lines based on the different needs of the customers – the E and P series.Powered by an innovative, energy-efficient compact gear motor, the Type P series extruders, whose drive electronics and control are directly integrated in the base of the device, can be used in a variety of ways: for R&D or production. Modularity is experienced with the P series extruders. Different kinds of downstream equipment can be connected and numerous additional options as well as features are possible depending on the requirements of the customer. - Abundance of options for use and extension - Very good handling due to compact design - Optimal operation via touch-screen control - Ideal for multi-layer lines as the different follow-up systems can be adjusted individually - The extruders can nearly be adapted to any extrusion task COLLIN also offers extruders for the processing of rubber and ceramic which can be built according to specific customer requirements. The high speed machines of the Type T series extruder (PILOT LINE) combine the advantages of Type P, however, due to the highly increased speed and simultaneously high drive torque, they achieve an essentially higher output. Particularly the development of the screw geometry and the feeder for the high speed extruder require enormous technical expertise.
COLLIN LAB LINE Roll Mills E and ER
The customers of COLLIN use the laboratory roll mills of the more cost-effective E Entrance series which is used as training machine for examining small quantities, for routine operations or for testing thermoplastics as well as elastomers (ER version). The roll mills are used for mixing, plasticising, kneading or laminating of plastics and are simple roll mills with manual gap adjustment. This is why the E for Entrance series exists as useful alternative for laboratory and pilot tests. - Cost-effective series - Perfect machine for routine operations in the laboratory - Wide range of application - Practical handling due to the design Roll mills ER Stronger drives ensure that elastomers can be processed. The gap adjustment is done manually. Roll mills P The P series roll mills feature very high reproducibility and are designed for demanding laboratory tests. Roll mills PR Stronger drives ensure that elastomers can be processed. Motor-driven gap adjustment.
COLLIN LAB LINE Flat Film Lines with two rolls
With a variety of smoothing, embossing and laminating possibilities, these COLLIN lines are mainly used for the production of films or sheets. This basic unit includes two rolls in horizontal position,suitable for cast films. COLLIN designs the rolls according to the customer requirements such as for example speed, roll width, roll coating etc. Downstream equipment can also be implemented flexibly – depending on the requirements, different types of take-off rolls, edge cuttings, measuring instruments or unwinders and winders.
