Roll Stand is Compact, Flexible

On display for the first time at NPE2024 is the eG-Series Roll Stand from Processing Technologies International (PTi). Designed as a streamlined alternative to PTi’s prevalent G-SERIES Configurable Roll Stand, this one provides the most compact roll stand variant offered by PTi. The configuration benefits sheet processors that have very limited production floor space, while maintaining the most pragmatic features within the G-Series.

Features found on eG-Series include PTi’s patented technology:

• Linear roll stand traverse
• Vertical nip height positioning
• Chrome roll safety lockout
• TRC-transfer roll coating technology

Other features include:

• A linear rail subbase system with integral floor levelers
• Consolidated routings for water, hydraulic, air and electrical utilities
• A compact conveyor arrangement and fixed height controls pendant running Titan PLC (touchscreen control interface).
   

The eG-Series roll stand can be tailored to include the following equipment: roll skew, servo-motorized gap, safety roll lockouts and an eAntiSTAT coater with one set of rubber-covered squeegee rolls. The roll stand on display has a Manual Gap Positioning and a TRC (Transfer Roll Coater). The TRC includes a split-style frame arrangement for ease of maintenance and internal access, a preheater for temperature regulation, application rollers (for top, bottom and dual side coating), air wipes and full guarding.

In addition to the roll stand, PTi is featuring its Super-G HighSpeed Extruder, the SGHS 3000. The SGHS series is a desirable solution compared to a conventional extruder for a variety of reasons — small footprint, versatility, reliability and ease of maintenance.

The SGHS 3000 extruder itself will feature a 500-hp tuck-under motor, two-stage Super-G Lobe screw technology, oversized feed section, pneumatic slide gate, CoolTouch heater shrouds and blowers, and an out-the-back feed screw removal.

The extrusion system will also include PTi’s patented M-ATEX die and component support. This technology assists in managing thermal expansion while maintaining proper nip between the die and chrome rolls of the roll stand.

NPE2024 marks the first time uCAMS Plus will be on display at NPE. The uCAMS was developed to be the foundation of any offline die maintenance program, serving as a single-die, splitting cart capable of accommodating a variety of dies widths in one system. PTi says uCAMS Plus has transformed the functionality of this die-splitting cart into a multipurpose unit for servicing dies, chrome rolls and screws, making it a “triple play” in an extrusion maintenance program.
