Product Line: Plastic Composite
Show / Hide DescriptionEmbossers
Use ESI's embossers to create patterns on your plastic or composite profiles. These machines are often utilized for embossing wood grain patterns on composite or foamed PVC decking profiles. Our heavy-duty, two-post assembly embossing stands can be custom designed to meet all your in-line or off-line processes to one, two or four surfaces of your profile. Options include driven or non-driven rolls, electrically or hot oil heated rolls, single strand or multi-strand designs, various width or diameter rolls, pre-heaters and automatic roll movement for ‘random’ patterns.
Stacking and Palletizing
ESI offers automated, end of line stacking/palletizing equipment for wood composite decking, railing and fencing profiles, including articulating stacking tables, servo controlled pick and place systems and a variety of indexing unitizing systems.
Boosting Punch with ASC (advanced servo control)
ESI’s ASC boosting punch is designed for fabricating profiles too rigid to stop with the Accupunch. The machine represents a combination of the press used on ESI’s top selling Accupunch and the controls utilized on ESI’s ASC boosting saw. The press is an air diaphragm type with up to 3” stroke and spring return. Standard press size is 20-1/2 x 15-1/2. A full safety cage surrounds the press and boosting mechanism. Support tables are mounted before and after press.
Custom In-line Fabrication
Since it’s inception in 1981, ESI has specialized in on-line fabrication. While the Accupunch series has been available since the early days, ESI is constantly evolving the capabilities of the series. ESI has supplied Accupunches with up to five fabrication presses (some equipped with programmable product features and often mounted in multiple planes), routing systems, drilling systems, sawing systems. ESI has also supplied many variations of boosting fabrication ...
Drop Tables
ESI pneumatically actuated dump tables are avalable in single and dual strand configurations
Boosting Saw with ASC (Advanced Servo Control)
ESI servo boosting (traveling) saws, for rigid extrudates, incorporate moving saw tables mounted on linear rails. ESI servo boosting saws provide superior cut length accuracy control by utilizing high resolution encoders in conjunction with a servo-motor and precision ball screw assembly. ESI servo saws have proven to produce in-line cut length accuracy of +/- .020". Models are available in either single strand or dual up configurations. ESI also provides numerous choices in blade diameter, saw motor sizes, saw platform and control packages.
Spray Tanks
ESI high efficiency spray cooling tanks are available in a wide variety of standard cross sections and lengths in either one-up or two-up designs. Stainless steel support rollers are mounted within the tank. Spray manifolds surround the extrudate and stainless steel centrifugal pumps provide a highly atomized spray pattern that ensures maximum heat removal by evaporative cooling.
Combination Vacuum Sizing Tanks
ESI combination vacuum sizing tanks offer the ultimate in sizing and cooling flexibility to accommodate the varying sizing needs associated with profile vacuum calibration and atmospheric sizing of tubes and hollows. Combination tanks provide the ability to utilize full vacuum and/or vacuum calibration sizing on a common machine platform.
MD-Series Belt Puller
ESI MD series pullers are suitable for vast array of extrusion processes. MD series pullers deliver consistent pulling speeds and reliability, critical for accurate extrusion sizing. MD series pullers are available in standard widths of 3" and 5", 6” with standard traction lengths ranging from 24" to 36".
Air Boosting Saw
ESI air boosting (traveling) saws, for rigid extrudates, incorporate moving saw tables mounted on linear rails. Saw table is matched to line speed through a clamping cylinder and air cylinder assist. ESI also provides numerous choices in blade diameter, saw motor sizes, saw platform and control packages.
