Extrusion equipment
Extrusion heads and on-site commissioning: 33 years of innovation and technical support by Eurotek
Thirty-three years of activity represent a significant milestone for any manufacturer. For Eurotek, an Italian specialist in the design and production of extrusion heads, this anniversary is also an opportunity to reflect on its journey and growth, built on technical expertise, innovation, and customer support.
Today isn’t just about a number; it’s a confirmation of excellence that evolves with time. Over these 33 years, we’ve faced challenges and ever-changing markets, but one thing has remained constant: our dedication to providing our partners with the very best heads. The secret to our cake? As you can see in the image, it’s made of mechanical precision, innovation, and a solid foundation of experience., commented the Eurotek team.
Eurotek's extrusion solutions
Eurotek's history is closely tied to the evolution of extrusion technologies. Founded in 1993 in Lanciano (Italy), the company has built a solid reputation in the extrusion sector over time, becoming a reference point for manufacturers of cables, optical fiber, tubes, and extrusion lines. The expertise gained over more than three decades of activity is reflected in a range of extrusion heads designed to ensure high performance and consistent product quality.
Thermoplastic extrusion heads
For processing thermoplastic polymers — materials whose thermal and mechanical versatility ensures high production performance. They provide consistent thermal control, which is essential for processing materials that become fluid as temperature rises and solidify rapidly during cooling, such as PE, PP, PVC, PU, HFFR, and many others.
Polyamide/Nylon extrusion heads
Dedicated solutions for high-performance polymers. They offer rigorous temperature control, essential for managing the phase transition of semi-crystalline materials.
- Thermal stability: protection of the polymer from thermal fluctuations.
- Molecular precision: geometries optimized for low-density materials.
Rubber and silicone extrusion heads
Specifically designed for processing elastomers, silicone rubber, and silicone, these solutions integrate advanced internal-channel thermoregulation systems engineered to ensure perfectly uniform temperature at every point of the head. This rigorous control prevents pre-vulcanization and ensures a consistent flow, maintaining the chemical-physical properties of the material unchanged all the way to the die outlet.
Extrusion heads for fluoropolymers (FEP, PFA, ETFE)
Designed for processing high-performance compounds known for their extreme chemical and thermal resistance. Given the aggressive nature of these materials in the molten state, the extrusion heads are manufactured with special corrosion-resistant alloys, ensuring extended operational life and consistent quality. The internal design is optimized to handle the high processing temperatures required by fluoropolymers, ensuring a linear, degradation-free flow.
Extrusion heads for engineering polymers (technopolymers)
State-of-the-art solutions for processing high-performance engineering polymers (PEEK, PPS, PSU, etc.). These materials require extreme thermal management and high mechanical resistance of internal surfaces. Features:
- High-temperature resistance
- Anti-wear geometries
- Structural precision
Flat cable extrusion heads
Engineered specifically for flat cable extrusion and the coating of flat-profile cores. Characterized by a compact, functional design, the heads integrate an extraction support system that dramatically simplifies maintenance, cleaning, and die-change operations.
- Uniform distribution: internal geometries designed to ensure constant pressure across the full width of the profile.
- Maximum customization: dimensions and dies can be configured to specification based on the technical requirements of the final product.
- Operational efficiency: optimized structure to reduce machine downtime and facilitate the operator.
Optical fiber extrusion heads
High-precision heads for the production of fiber optic cables, ensuring maximum signal protection and dimensional stability. Equipped with the exclusive Jelly Kit — an advanced system designed for consistent fiber impregnation and maximum operational efficiency.
- Axial precision: micrometric bushings for perfect centering between the impregnation tube and fiber guide.
- Consistent quality: uniform impregnation for the production of top-quality PBT Buffer-Tube.
- Setup efficiency: quick fiber insertion and fast component replacement based on the required dimensions.
Tube extrusion heads
High-performance longitudinal heads engineered for the production of a wide range of technical and industrial tubes. Thanks to a highly customizable design, they ensure impeccable wall thickness uniformity and consistent concentricity, even in multi-layer configurations. The internal geometry is optimized to process various thermoplastic materials, ensuring dimensional stability and quality excellence in the finished product.
Beyond the product: commissioning and on-site support
Eurotek's offering goes beyond the design and manufacture of extrusion heads. Over the years, the company has developed a comprehensive range of services designed to support customers throughout the entire lifecycle of the equipment — from commissioning through to after-sales assistance.
For Eurotek, product delivery is just the beginning of the collaboration with the customer. Through its commissioning service, the company supports the integration and start-up of extrusion heads directly at the production facility, ensuring an effective and fast start-up. Specialized technicians work alongside the personnel during the start-up phase, process optimization, and technical training for the correct operation and maintenance of the equipment.
Support does not end with the start-up phase, as after-sales service is a central element of Eurotek's approach. Thanks to an efficient filing system and the availability of genuine spare parts, the company is able to guarantee ongoing support even years after equipment delivery.
The commitment to innovation, the ability to respond to specific customer needs, and the expertise accumulated over more than three decades of activity are the pillars on which Eurotek continues to build upon. For more information, visit the online stand on Expometals >>
