Plastic profile extrusion provides more durable, more cost effective and more sustainable alternatives to outdated products.

PACTAfrica is the ideal partner to support you in producing high quality PVC, PO, technical or co-extruded profiles at high performance – cost ratio by offering you world class extrusion systems backed by decades of knowledge and experience.

Our scope of supply extends to:

Extrusion systems
Process development
Automation
Tempreture control & cooling
Raw materials handling

Extrusion technology

The process of PVC profile extrusion includes material feeding systems on the extruder with plasticizing occurring in the extruder. We partner with the ideal downstream supplier for your project’s individual requirements who offer a calibration table for calibrating the extruded product, cooling and solidifying the final piece. It is then followed by the haul-off, saw to pull and the cut of products to desired lengths.

Our focus is on creating a homogenous melt and high quality product at fine tolerances to reduce material wastage and increase cost efficiency.

Common applications for PVC profiles:

  • Window and door profiles
  • Rain gutters
  • Cable ducts

32D twin-screw extruder series

Increased flexibility and greater cost-efficiency

In the area of profile extrusion the market is placing increasingly higher demands on production: Excellent quality, maximum flexibility and increased cost-efficiency. The 32D
twin-screw extruder series from KraussMaffei satisfies all conditions for optimum profile extrusion.

In the area of profile extrusion, the market is placing increasingly higher demands on production:

high-performance extrusion systems

The 26D machine series is one of the world's most successful and most widely used series. The machines feature an excellent price-performance ratio. They enable a lucrative entry into profile extrusion. However, established processors in new markets also value the machine for their expansion plans.

  • High throughput with outstanding melt quality
  • Low maintenance thanks to internally heat-balanced screws and an air-cooled barrel
  • Tried-and-tested 26D process unit
  • High process reliability

Coextruded product allows for a unique advantage with varying qualities and finishes. The use of recycled material for invisible sections of the product allows for a more cost effective and sustainable product.

The ability to use different materials allows for a more complex design and overall cost saving if designed cohesively and manufactured with a high tolerance precision.

Our process design varies for our clients’ requirements but we typically offer coextrusion with parallel basic extruders and one or two piggyback extruders from our conical series to achieve the co-extrusion requirements. In general, our twin screw extruder prepares a homogenous melt from the recycled material. Our conical extruders used for multi-layer extrusion come in a compact design which save valuable production space.

Natural fibre composites are increasingly replacing pure natural products in many areas due to their durability. Krauss Maffei extruders are used throughout the world to process fibre reinforced plastics thanks to their steady material feed, gentle non-destructive processing and highly stable screw pressure. Common applications like wood polymer composite decking and fencing can be seen in industry today.

Applications

Fencing systems

Resistant to weathering, easy to clean, easy to install and recyclable makes PVC fencing an increasingly prevalent choice

Gaskets/seals

Plastic automotive, window and door seals are low cost to produce and prevent fluids and air from entering and escaping

Guttering

Plastic guttering is largely maintenance-free and highly weather resistant. Coextrusion makes it possible to offer customers a choice of colours.

Roller Shutter

Potential for hollow shutter designs with insulating properties and almost silent rolling
