In order to produce such materials as beams with cross-sections containing hollow cavities, these materials are pushed through a machine made of desired shapes. This process is referred as “Extrusion.” It has several advantages over other methods: making complex shapes on fragile materials and resulting in clean and neat surface finish. Its main applications involve metals, polymers, concrete, ceramics, and food. Korea’s SM PLATEK puts a good pin on how it works while also introducing twin-screw extruders.
With its beginning in 1998, the extruder manufacturer has fared well in the market. SM PLATEK has earned the title of “A leading and unrivalled company” in Korea based on experiences and technology, and its market share is reaching over 60% at home, which indicates the guaranteed quality and customers’ positive reactions. Moreover, numerous patents, certificates ISO 9001, and Seal of Excellence from KOTRA are making its name more impeccable.
SM PLATEK enlists several types of twin-screw extruders. Among them, TEK 51HMS, TEK 58MHS, and TEK 40 MHS share the same traits. These high-performing co-rotating machines are compact and efficient with their large free volume in the 2-lobe channel and the tool steel covered with protective materials for a long life cycle. SM PLATEK’s twin screw extruders in particular are suitable for manufacturing Master Batch and engineering plastics that require many sophisticated tasks such as Reinforcing, Pelletizing, Filling, Compounding, Alloying operation, etc. TEK 70MHS is a twin-screw compounder and operates with high torque and high efficiency with a large free volume in the 2-lobe screw channel. Being optimized for engineering plastics, the compounder is well suited for dispersing additives and colorants. For more information, you can visit www.smplatek.com
SM PLATEK has been selected as the KOTRA Seal of Excellence since 2009
