Buss Model MKS 30 Laboratory Ko-Kneader Extruder

Manufacturer: Buss
Model: MKS 30
Serial #: 97-1030
Condition: Used

Description:

The Buss MKS 30 Laboratory Ko-Kneader Extruder is a precision-engineered system designed for small-scale compounding and material processing. This unit features a 30mm diameter, 17" long single screw with throughput rates of up to 30 kg per hour. The three-zone barrel is electrically heated and water-cooled, ensuring precise temperature regulation. The feed throat is water-cooled and includes a hopper for material input. The main extruder is powered by a 10 HP AC motor with a reducer, while the discharge screw extruder is driven by a 1.5 kW gear motor operating at 1710 RPM. The system includes a 2-hole strand die for shaping extruded materials. Additionally, the extruder is equipped with an operator panel, a control panel with Eurotherm controllers, and two ABB drive panels for efficient and precise control.
