Guill’s Series 824 Offers a New Co-Extrusion Crosshead

Posted by guilltool on December 1, 2015 in Agriculture and Horticulture, Announcements, Automotive, Blow Molding, Food and Pharmaceuticals, Industrial, Medical, Series

824_crosshead

In December of 2015 Guill Tool debuted Series 824, a co-extrusion crosshead designed for irrigation tubing with an emitter tool. This new stainless steel crosshead features balanced flow design with spiral technology that improves flow characteristics at all extruder speeds. Dual feed ports provide concentric compound flow, while the splits flow from one extruder to feed the inside and outside layers via a manifold assembly. Series 824 is adaptable to all popular extruders currently on the market. Quick-change tooling and a toolkit for disassembly and re-assembly are provided with the unit.  

Bill Conley, sales manager for Guill, comments, “On this project, the customer challenged us with an application that required precise placement and bonding of preformed emitters within the extruded tubing without melting them in the crosshead.”   

For more information view our news post on Series 824 at Guill.com here.

Guill’s Series 725 Offers a New Co-Extrusion Crosshead

Posted by guilltool on November 24, 2015 in Agriculture and Horticulture, Announcements, Automotive, Blow Molding, Food and Pharmaceuticals, Industrial, Medical, Series, Strand Pelletizing, Syncroflow

725frompr

This past November Guill Tool introduced Series 725, a co-extrusion crosshead design for tray cable applications in low-volume, adjustable center work on PVC over PVC. This series was developed by Guill Engineering and a customer, to convert a production line from a Tandem line with two heads a distance apart into a co-extrusion line with a single head applying both layers of PVC in a single operation. The efficiency and improved profit potential from such a configuration is substantial.

Additional features of this new crosshead include multi-port spiral flow, easy disassembly and restart, positive seals for leak elimination, adaptable to all extruder brands, maximum thru-core of 1.750″ and maximum die ID of 2.000″, a fixed first layer and second adjustable layer, the patented Guill Feather Touch concentricity adjustment, vacuum port and the ability to accept two extruders from the same side via the heated manifold assembly.

Like all our products, Series 725 comes with a tool kit and detailed operator’s instruction manual.
