Entek Launches Hightorque HT Series Extruders for Enhanced Output

In the fields of plastic, chemical, and polymer material processing, extruders serve as indispensable equipment that significantly impacts both production efficiency and final product quality. ENTEK Corporation's HT Series extruders have been specifically engineered to meet these demanding requirements, offering high torque, large output capacity, and exceptional reliability for continuous production environments.

The HT Series represents ENTEK's next-generation extruder product line, designed to deliver higher torque density and greater throughput. The inaugural model in this series, the HT72 extruder, achieves a torque density of 18 with a Do/Di (outer diameter/inner diameter) ratio of 1.61. This configuration enables the HT72 to transmit greater torque within the same physical footprint, resulting in higher extrusion rates and production output. The 1.61 Do/Di ratio also provides industry-leading free volume at equivalent torque density levels, facilitating superior material mixing and plasticization.

The HT72 extruder distinguishes itself through its high torque density and substantial free volume. The enhanced torque capacity allows the equipment to maintain consistent extrusion rates when processing high-viscosity or challenging materials. The generous free volume improves mixing efficiency while reducing risks of localized overheating and material degradation, thereby enhancing product quality. Furthermore, the HT72 incorporates a robust structural design paired with higher-power motors, ensuring stable and reliable operation in continuous production settings. These design characteristics make the HT72 particularly suitable for production lines requiring 24/7/365 operation.

The HT162 stands as ENTEK's largest twin-screw extruder model. While detailed specifications remain limited, it's evident that the HT162 builds upon the HT Series design philosophy while significantly expanding extrusion capacity for high-output applications. As ENTEK's flagship product, the HT162 likely incorporates advanced control systems, more powerful drive mechanisms, and optimized screw designs to accommodate large-scale production requirements.

• Plastic modification: Blending various additives and fillers with base resins to produce specialty modified plastics

• Biodegradable plastics: Producing environmentally friendly biodegradable plastics
• Food processing: Applications including food extrusion expansion and protein restructuring
• Chemical production: Enabling continuous production processes for chemical products

As polymer processing technology continues to advance, performance requirements for extruders grow increasingly stringent. ENTEK's HT Series extruders address these demands through their high-torque capabilities, large output capacity, and operational reliability, providing users with more efficient and stable production solutions. The company is expected to further expand the HT Series product line with additional models to serve diverse industrial requirements.
