New Maintenance Door at Extruder Gearbox Lantern

To further increase the efficiency of our compounders in daily operation, ZSK extruders can now be optionally equipped with an electronically secured maintenance door at the gearbox lantern.

As soon as the screw shafts of the extruder come to a complete stop, service personnel can open the gearbox lantern without tools, guaranteeing secure, easy access to the screw shaft coupling. During maintenance, for example, this reduces the machine’s downtimes, thus again contributing to greater efficiency of ZSK extruders.

The electronically secured maintenance door at the gearbox lantern is available for extruder sizes ZSK 32 and larger.
