USED APV PGX 30

Manufacturer: APV
Model: PGX 30
Type: Twin Screw Extruder (Co-Rotating)
Condition: Used

Description
Used APV PGX 30 Twin Screw Extruder, a compact and efficient co-rotating twin screw system designed for pilot-scale compounding and small batch production. This unit features 30 mm diameter screws with a 10:1 L/D ratio, making it ideal for controlled processing and lower throughput applications.
Capable of processing up to 30 kg/hr (66 lbs/hr), this extruder is equipped with an electrically heated, water-cooled barrel for precise thermal management. Powered by a 4 kW AC motor with gearbox, the system operates at speeds up to 161 RPM, providing consistent mixing and extrusion performance.
Mounted on four wheels for mobility, this unit includes a K-Tron T22 twin screw feeder for accurate material feeding and a control panel mounted directly on the machine. Previously used in compounding, this system is well-suited for R&D, pilot plants, and specialty production environments.
