THE
GELIMAT
-ULTIMATE MIXING and COMPOUNDING MACHINE-
 The
DRAIS GELIMAT COMPUNDER, an ultra high speed thermo kinetic mixing,
fluxing and compounding system for processing of both virgin and
recycled polymers, as well as highly loaded compounds and master
batches was specifically developed for very difficult compounding,
mixing and dispersion applications. The GELIMAT's high rotational
shaft speed provides an extremely efficient and super fast processing
cycle for polymer compounds, highly filled cellulose fibers/plastic
compounds and practically any kind of thermoplastic or thermo-set
polymers. The Gelimat thermo kinetic principle reduces compounding
time to a matter of seconds. Compounded material is discharged automatically
by an electronic temperature sensor through a special discharge
door. The ejected material can then be fed into a melt pump, a short
barrel extruder, calender system, molding system or any other type
of shaping device. The entire Gelimat compounding unit is coupled
to advanced process controls that allow the user to change any or
all process parameters with the touch of a finger. Systems are available
from laboratory to large-scale production sizes.
OTHER
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
High
Density Powder Dry Blends
Dry powder blends such as PVC and LLD-PE can be processed in the
GELIMAT to increase the packing density of the powder between 15
to 50 percent. This higher density powder can then be extruded at
considerably higher throughput rates.
Regrinds
Regrinds of many products being manufactured can be returned to
the GELIMAT system for processing. For instance, a 95 percent regrind
of rigid PVC film edge trim can be used to make extrusion and molding
compounds.
Foam
Products
It is feasible to produce nearly any size and shape of foamed product
frommost polymers in two relatively simple pieces of equipment;
the GELIMAT for mixing and heating and the mold.
The GELIMAT's inherent simplicity of design and operation results
in paralleled reliability. Furthermore, the small overall dimensions
of Gelimat installation lend itself to implementation even if conventional
processing systems are in place.
GELIMAT is available
in two diffferent types and the following are the most common sizes
of GELIMAT and dimensions.
