    Vertical RAM Extruder

    Vertical version of the RAM extruder for thick-walled pipes and space-saving production lines.

    Extrusion process with Keicher RAM Extruders The vertical RAM extruder from Keicher Engineering AG enables the continuous production of profiles, especially from PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and UHMW-PE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene). The raw material is fed into a cylindrical extrusion tube, compressed by a piston, and simultaneously transported through the tube, which is heated to sintering temperature. The individual dosing units sinter together to form a continuous extrudate.

    Features: Gravity support, modular design
    Tools: Single and multiple profiles, tubes
    Materials: PTFE, UHMW-PE, PEEK
