HHOPEFILAMENT EXTRUSION

Home / Turnkey lines

From an empty bay to a spool of filament.

A line is more than an extruder. We quote the whole train — extruder, die, cooling, gauging, haul-off and winder — as one scope, with one team responsible for getting it running.

Scope of supply

What a line is made of

Six stations between the hopper and the finished spool. All six models use the same platform family, so a laboratory line and a 40 kg/h production line are laid out and controlled the same way.

  • Extruder — single screw, 25 to 50 mm, 25:1 to 30:1
  • Die head — one, two or three feeds into the strand
  • Water bath — cooling length set to the target output
  • Diameter gauge — measures the strand before the haul-off
  • Haul-off — pulls the filament and holds the tension
  • Winder — spooling, on a separate accumulator frame where the line needs one
High-speed single-colour line

Four steps from brief to first spool

How it runs

  1. Brief. Material, target output, colour plan, filament size and the site supply.
  2. Configuration and quotation. We name one model and the options that fit, with the price and the delivery window.
  3. Build and pre-delivery run. The line is assembled, wired and run before it is packed.
  4. Installation and handover. Commissioning where the line will run, operators trained on your material, first spools made before we leave.

Sequence, inspection points, delivery window and warranty terms are confirmed on the quotation.

Configuration

What changes between one line and the next

The frame and the control philosophy stay the same. These are the choices that change output, colour and layout.

  • Colour — single, dual, tricolour, or gradient with automatic colour change every 6–8 m
  • Output — 1–3 kg/h on the laboratory line, 20–40 kg/h on the high-speed line
  • Layer build — two- and three-layer core-sheath filament, by changing the die
  • Accumulation — a separate unit where spools are changed without stopping the line
  • Material — PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, PA, and filled or modified compounds

Site

What the site has to provide

Main and total power are published for every model: 6 kW total on the laboratory line, 40 kW on the dual, tricolour and high-speed lines. Tell us the voltage and frequency where the line will run, and where it ships.

  • Floor space and how spools are moved away from the line
  • Voltage, frequency and the supply available in the bay
  • Water, drainage and compressed air at the point of use
  • Dust, humidity and ambient temperature in the workshop

Ask us for the layout drawing and the services list for the model you are considering.

Send us the brief.

Five answers are enough for a configuration and a price: material, output, colour, filament size and site.
