Show / Hide DescriptionVacuum Calibration Tanks
ESI's Vacuum Calibration Sizing Tanks are designed for the processing of plastic profiles in a variety of rigid and flexible materials. Tanks can be supplied in a variety of cross sections and lengths with different manifold and cooling options. ESI also offers hot water annealing of the front section to minimize bow in profiles with uneven thicknesses, allowing the product temperature to drop below the glass transition point before cooling with chilled water. This greatly reduces bow and camber on many profiles.
Accumulators
ESI's accumulators are designed to provide accumulated storage of flexible material during line operation without having to shut the line down. ESI manufactures accumulators for use ahead of the extruder on crosshead extrusion lines such as metal reinforced profiles or for use at the end of the extrusion line ahead of windups or on lines requiring additional cooling. Accumulation is typically vertical to minimize floor space and is primarily used during reel changeovers. Accumulators consist of a series of free turning upper and lower rolls. The upper rolls are moved up and down on a linear slide and can be motor driven or pneumatic, while lower rolls are ...
Performer Puller-Saw Combination
ESI Performer Series Puller-Saw Combinations provide an innovative, streamlined alternative to traditional extrusion line layouts. Combining two critical components of the extrusion line into a common platform and control package, enhances operator efficiency, conserves valuable floor space and insures proper machine alignment.
Dual-Strand Boosting Saw with ASC (Advanced Servo Control)
ESI's ASC servo boosting saws are also available in Dual-Up configurations. The dual-up saw system consists of two (2) independently controlled servo boosting saw carriages on a common frame where the action of each saw table is controlled by a single, solid-state programmable motion controller. The controller processes the signals from the high-resolution line encoders, synchronizes the cut cycle, and controls the motion of the saw and traveling table. A color touchscreen is supplied for control inputs and status.
Pinch Roll Puller
Pinch roll pullers are used for light duty and small profiles that need very little contact length. They are available in a variety of roll diameters and widths that best suit the specific application.
