PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

Co-rotating segmented screws & barrels deliver a unique performance.

Co-rotating twin screw extruders occupy a dominant position among extruders and are widely used in a great variety of applications. The typical scope of application is compounding, and processing of plastics, although this technology is finding more and more industrial spaces, like in rubber, composites and food processing, thanks to its versatility, high performance and technical reliability. 

The development of this type of extruders goes back a long way. The first commercially produced machine was invented in 1939 by a brilliant Italian engineer, Roberto Colombo founder of LMP.
