Intelligent Plastic New Materials, Qingdong Future | Klaus Maffei Gold Power GPX Series Twin Screw Extruder Global Debut

　　This is not an ordinary iteration.This is a performance benchmark newly created by Klaus Maffei for high-end modified materials.

When low altitude economy and embodied intelligence accelerate takeoffPEEKTheLCP、UHMWPE、MXDGrade 6 special engineering plastics are moving towards the forefront of the industry, and the requirements for materials and equipment are being redefined——Higher mixing efficiency, wider material adaptability, and more extreme temperature and energy consumption performance.At the same time, driven by the "dual carbon" goal, green recycling has become a consensus in the industry. The high-quality utilization of PCR recycled materials, biobased and degradable materials drives equipment to achieve technological breakthroughs in low energy consumption, high compatibility and clean production. Lightweight and green recycling constitute the dual driving forces of the era of high-performance materials.

GPX
That's why I came here

　　Klaus Maffei Gold Power ® GPX series twin-screw extruderInheriting the excellent genes of the GP series' "Golden Power", it reshapes extrusion processing standards with disruptive technological upgrades. It is designed to meet the stringent requirements of high-end new materials and has applications in various fieldsLow altitude economy and embodied intelligence, aerospace, semiconductors and high-precision electronics, automobiles and new energy, as well as medical and food industries.

Three core upgrades
Define new heights of performance

　　●Significantly increased specific torque from 13 to 16 Nm/cm ³By endowing GPX with stronger mixing ability, it can easily handle difficult to process materials such as high viscosity and high filling, achieve uniform plasticization and excellent dispersion, while reducing the risk of local overheating. It is particularly suitable for difficult to process formulas such as flame retardant reinforced nylon, carbon fiber reinforced PEEK, and thermal conductive plastics;

　　●Optimization of slot depth ratio from 1.55 to 1.65Effectively improving feeding capacity, especially suitable for increasing production of materials with limited volume. The larger free volume provides sufficient space for VOCs discharge, perfectly adapting to devolatilization and reactive extrusion processes, while reducing the average residence time of materials, lowering shear rates, and effectively reducing the thermal degradation risk of thermosensitive materials;

　　●Control system fully upgraded to Siemens' latest Unified seriesThe computing power and compatibility have significantly improved. New UI design with ISA88 standard architecture and modular management for upstream and downstream. New startup process wizard has been added, changing "start based on experience" to "follow standards" to reduce human risk; The "less manpower production" function has changed the starting of auxiliary machines from "relying on human monitoring" to "automatic execution according to plan", taking a crucial step towards unmanned workshops.

Full coverage of process components
Meet customers' comprehensive needs

The barrel and threaded components of a twin-screw extruder are the core vulnerable parts, and the material selection directly determines the equipment life and processing stability.The KraussMaffei material system covers various types such as standard nitriding steel, high wear resistant powder metallurgy, HIP nickel/cobalt based alloys, and corrosion-resistant Hastelloy alloys, and is suitable for different working conditions.A complete material matrix can be customized and selected according to the characteristics of customer materials, fully meeting the production needs of different working conditions.

Seven major optimizations and breakthroughs
Directly targeting user pain points

The GPX continues the classic configuration of the previous generation series, including 6D barrel, C-type chuck quick disassembly (saving 70% time), quick disassembly side feeding, lateral forced swing, and double bridge gearbox. On this basis, GPX has achieved multidimensional breakthroughs in both core process segments and peripheral support, ensuring long-term stable production with every detail.

　　Head independent water cooling:

Accurate temperature control, suppressing local overheating, avoiding thermal degradation of the melt, significantly reducing particle yellowing, and ensuring uniform and consistent particle color;

　　New plug-in:

Through multidimensional experimental verification, it effectively avoids problems such as excessive shear, poor exhaust, and uneven filling, and improves the stability of mixing and plasticization as well as the overall process adaptability of the machine;

　　Optimization of threaded components:

Adjust the lead and mesh clearance, broaden the material adaptation range, reduce the difficulty of process debugging, and maintain stable extrusion in the face of high differential viscosity raw materials;

　　Upgrade of barrel heating:

Imported heating rods improve heating efficiency, with faster response, more uniform temperature rise, reduced waiting time and heat loss, and precise and controllable temperature;

　　Cooling hard pipe connection:

Replacing flexible hoses with metal hard tubes can avoid leakage hazards caused by shaking and wear, improve cooling reliability, and extend pipeline life;

　　Aviation plug connection:

The wiring is neat and orderly, and the plug-in disassembly greatly shortens maintenance time, reduces the risk of wiring errors, and improves maintenance convenience;

　　Double layer stainless steel insulation cover:

Insulated and heat-resistant, temperature locking and energy-saving, with a simple and elegant curved appearance that balances practicality and overall aesthetics.

Choose GPX
It's about choosing future competitiveness

GPX not only brings a leap in standalone performance, but also provides customers with strategic initiative when facing the upgrading of the high-end materials industry. It enables the production line to achieve systematic improvement in five dimensions: output, quality, cost, flexibility, and service life, and calmly cope with the iteration and challenges of future material systems.

From low altitude economy to high-end semiconductor applications, from PEEK to MXD6, the new generation of high-end materials is reshaping the industry landscape, and GPX is the trustworthy equipment cornerstone in this transformation. This is not only another self transcendence of Klaus Maffei in twin-screw extrusion technology, but also a firm response to the development needs of China's high-end manufacturing and emerging industries.
