USED GLOUCESTER 2522

Manufacturer Information:

Manufacturer: Gloucester

Model: 2522 R2

Condition: Used (Reportedly Reconditioned)

Description:
The Gloucester Model 2522 R2 2.5" Extruder is a high-performance, vented extrusion system designed for industrial plastics processing. Featuring a 32:1 L/D (length-to-diameter) ratio, this unit delivers consistent melt quality and efficient material processing for a wide range of polymer applications.
This extruder is equipped with an electrically heated, water-cooled (closed loop) barrel, ensuring precise temperature control while preventing overheating. The vented and plugged barrel design enhances degassing and impurity removal, improving overall extrusion quality.
Mounted at a 72" centerline height, the gearbox features a 10.73:1 reduction ratio and is direct-driven by a 60 HP DC motor, controlled by a Saftronics SCR drive system. A manual screen changer is mounted on the extruder discharge, allowing for efficient filtration and material purity maintenance.
This unit includes a control panel with integrated controls, providing user-friendly operation and real-time monitoring. Reportedly reconditioned, this heavy-duty extrusion system is ideal for plastics, compounding, and recycling applications.
