NFM adds to TEM series

A 26 mm twin-screw extruder has been added to NFM’s TEM Series. The new addition is for small production runs or laboratory trials, and was co-developed by NFM and Toshiba Machine Co of Japan.

The TEM Series is a co-rotating, intermeshing twin-screw line. According to the company, it offers the highest torque-per-free-volume and the highest screw speed of any major twin-screw supplier, as well as superior dispersion, distribution and devolatilization. The 26 mm is a direct scale-up to production size equipment making it suitable for laboratory trials.

The line is manufactured in North America by NFM under license from Toshiba. Typical applications of the TEM Series include engineering plastics, fibre compounding, filler compounding, colour concentrates, polymer alloy, direct extrusion and reactive extrusion.
