Coextrusion Die Heads for Blow Moulding

ETA coextrusion die heads with 6 or 7 layers are a very favourable


proven solution for the blow moulding of multi-layer plastic fuel tanks
and multi-layer filler pipes for automotive applications. Also and
increasingly, 2 and 3-layer die heads are supplied for industrial
containers, e. g. drums and IBC.

Characteristics and Advantages


+ concentric spiral mandrel manifolds with sophisticated melt
pre-distribution and optimised layer combining
+ very compact size and very low weight
+ extreme versatility regarding materials, total throughput
and layer structure
+ even circumferential layer distribution
+ adhesive layers and barrier layer with very good thickness
distribution and homogenous material structure without any
flow lines
+ very thin adhesive layers and barrier layers possible
+ excellent purging behaviour
+ fast start-up and shut-down processes, very short heat-up times,
purging procedures and cool-down times
+ most modern die materials and surface coatings

Actual die designs manufactured have die exit diameters ranging


from 10 mm to 1.200 mm and total throughputs from 10 to 1.850 kg/h.
The scope of supply of ETA can include adapters for the connection
of die head and extruders, die sets (quick change systems are an
option) and hydraulic cylinders for parison thickness programming.
Small 6- and 7-layer die heads for blow moulded filler pipes can be
equipped with a radial wall thickness programming mechanism
(RWDS) designed by ETA.

Modification and Optimisation of Existing Machinery
ETA 6 layer coextrusion die heads are used for both for new blow
moulding machines and for the modification of existing machines.
Compared with conventional die heads for this application ETA die
heads are much more efficient and have remarkable smaller
dimensions.
The modification of existing mono- and coextrusion machines with a
state-of-the-art ETA coextrusion system can be offered and carried
out in cooperation with partners.
If existing extruders are equipped with ETA barrier mixing screws
further advantages regarding performance and quality can be
achieved at the same time.
