Twin-screw extruder manufacturer Leistritz this week introduced its new side feeder system LSB FLEXX, designed to help compounders avoid bridges, process interruptions or deviations in a formulation as they work with difficult additives. Leistritz (Nuremberg, Germany) introduced the new feeding system at this week’s Fakuma tradeshow in southern Germany, attended by MPW.   The manufacturer also brought news of the first sale and shipment of the company’s recently introduced ZSE180MAXX extruder, which left the firm’s Nuremberg facility at the end of September 2009. Because of a confidentiality agreement, neither the application nor the customer can be identified. The 30-tonne machine, which enables throughputs of up to 15 tonne/hr depending on the application, is the largest extruder Leistritz has ever produced.
