K 2013: New dimension in fine-mesh straining

Uth GmbH from Fulda, Germany will present its extended range of products, covering both roll-ex fine-mesh straining systems and extrusion systems, at Hall 15, stand D41. The latest model from the roll-ex series is one of the standouts. With this product, the fine-mesh straining of rubber compounds in mixing lines with throughputs of up to 10,000 kg/h can be realised.

Rubber processing presents enormous challenges day in day out to rubber and tyre manufacturers. The demand is for products of the highest quality and, simultaneously, for greater cost-effectiveness.  Accordingly, UTH GmbH has made fresh progress in perfecting the manufacturing of tyre, rubber and silicone products.

The roll-ex? extruder systems from Uth have set the benchmark worldwide for fine-mesh straining of rubber compounds, and at the K2013 the company will again enthral trade fair attendees with this innovative solution. Roll-ex? gear extruders are a particularly good choice when frequent compound changes are involved or coloured materials used. They can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly on account of their unique design. The modular roll-ex? system can be combined with a two-roll feeder (TRF), a screw feeder, or a conical twin-screw extruder. Throughputs range from 70 kg/h to 10,000 kg/h for standard applications, while customer-specific solutions can also be realised.

Precision extrusion is another primary application of roll-ex? gear extruders and gear pumps, where high operating pressures (up to 800 bars) can be applied.  Uth can supply, among other things, system solutions involving complete lines for the manufacture of rubber-coated wire, yarn, or fibre components.
