			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone,</p><p>As of now I am in the process of building a filament extruding line and intend to produce it in series.<br />The first version that was using a Lewis drill bit intended for testing purposes worked just fine and got sold.</p><p>Now I work on a new model with specially designed plastic extrusion screw and longer barrel.</p><p>Here are the specifications:</p><p>-Barrell L/D (Length to Diameter) ratio: 26 : 1;<br />-Compression ratio: 2.5 : 1;<br />-Barrel diameter: 26 mm;<br />-Heating zones: 4 (with temperature controllers);<br />-Stainless band heaters for 38 mm barrel: 5 pieces;<br />-Triple phase 380V Varvel coaxial gearbox electric motor 180 watt 1400 RPM, 20 mm shaft (made in Italy);<br />-Gearbox reduction ratio 46:1;<br />-Max RPM at 50 Hz: 30 (more at higher Hz);<br />-Torque @ 30 RPM: 52 Nm;<br />-Mitsubishi Electric Frequency Converter;<br />-Specially designed die with long land length, small internal angle (30 degrees) and easy to replace internal melt filter screens with various sizes;<br />-Diameter of die: 2.5 mm;<br />-High pressure high temperature gasket between nozzle and barrel to avoid pressure loss;<br />-Water and air dual cooling for produced filament;<br />-Water tank;<br />-High speed puller with silicone rubber wheels and Nema 17 motor controlled by Arduino with LCD and encoder;<br />-Winder based on Filawinder but with much bigger 12 kilograms spool;<br />-Extruding speed: 1-1.5 kgs/hr depending on polymer choice;<br />-Precision of extruded filament: +-0.05 mm, but I expect it to be better with the new extruder screw;<br />-Expected power consumption for 24 hrs: 17 Kw/hr (2.5 USD/day at 0.15 cents/KW/hr);<br />-Emergency Stop button, on and off button, speed of extruder motor can be adjusted in 0.01 Hz increments also speed of puller allows for fine adjustment;<br />-Electrical panel is done by a professional;<br />-Differential protection to protect the operator from electric shock, it needs a grounded 220 volts power outlet;<br />-Stainless steel hopper with capacity is 3.5 kilograms but it should be refilled often.</p><p>I can also provide ABS masterbatches.<br />My location is in Europe, Romania and I can arrange shipping by truck and also provide invoice for the paid money.</p>]]></content>
