For 20 years, Ekochem has been supplying our customers with polymer production machines designed with utmost care for quality in every aspect.
We produce complete extruding lines and their accessories. Apart from typical catalogue solutions, our portfolio includes custom-built machines – our flexible and individual approach distinguishes us from our competitors. We realise that in such cases, consulting and technical support are essential – and that is exactly what we deliver, too.
Trusted solutions tested for two decades.
As in every other area of our operations, we put emphasis on quality also when making our machines. Alongside CE certification for every product, we also hold ISO certification covering the whole production process. Each machine undergoes a factory acceptance test, and each material is tested in our modern laboratory.
Single-screw extruders
Our WJ single-screw extruders are entirely made in Poland. They are characterised by robust and durable construction, and feature high-quality equipment with multiple accessories. We provide extruders tailored to small-scale, laboratory, and industrial-scale productions, and with two decades of experience, we ensure that our solutions are highly reliable.
Standard WJ extruders are used in the production of pipes, profiles, and foil, as well as in recycling and coating materials with plastic. Their low energy consumption ensures maximum efficiency at minimum investment costs. Additionally, we guarantee long service life, a wide range of additional options, and the possibility of integrating all units and modules into one solution. Our extruders feature a ‘plug and play’ concept, an automatic feed system (depending on the type of material), the possibility of saving formulations, and a closed-cycle cooling water system with a heat exchanger and a filter. Energy-efficient heating elements guarantee safety of operation (external covers do not heat up, thus preventing accidental burning on contact) and reduced energy consumption (due to an insulation which improves the heating element’s efficiency). Control cabinet air conditioners ensure optimal temperature inside, which remains crucial, particularly in high-output lines. Vector frequency inverters, installed as a standard option, guarantee stable torque and speed, as well as precise control of rotational speed. Our control cabinets use electrical equipment from trusted manufacturers such as Eaton, LG or Siemens.
Twin-screw extruders
Segmented twin-screw extruders are used to improve product quality and to achieve more efficient plasticisation of plastics, including materials with additives which are difficult to process, as well as to process biodegradable materials. Depending on their type, they are used in the production of virgin materials, colourants, additives, polymer materials, biodegradable materials, and in compounding. They are also used in the food industry and research.
Screw configurations and speeds, as well as engine powers, are adjusted to the production specifications and extruded materials. The modular screw and cylinder design enables quick and convenient modification of the plasticising system’s geometry and length. Each module is equipped with a type J or Pt temperature sensor and sockets for attaching additional feed or degassing units. The cylinder and screw temperature system ensures independent water cooling of each zone. Gearboxes are designed to withstand high loads and torques, with helical gears and high-quality materials ensuring quiet operation and long service life. Built-in Wi-Fi allows remote extruder operation and maintenance, while a 10- or 15-inch touchscreen with formulation saving option ensures comfortable control.
