Facing the continuous needs of production capacity increase, this high technology concept, reliable and economical, is a quick and effective alternative adaptable to any type of extruder.
This concept , interchangeable , allows you to switch back to your initial equipment since it does not need any particular modification on the machinery . For all of your production increase projects , this concept will be the essential element to take over the increasing of the polymer flow .
1/ With the invention of the R2D2 concept, AMN definitely marks its technological lead in the polymer granulation systems.
Besides the well known high reliability and longevity of the AMN products, this concept allows an increase of polymer flows of 20 %, without changing the existing pelletizer.
2/ What is the R2D2 concept ?
1 set – 4 pieces : die-holder, die-plate, knives, knife-holder. Adaptable to all kinds of machines for all types of polymer, interchangeable with the existing equipment, it does not require any modification on the extruder.

The die-holder
The cone shape of the die-holder totally eliminates the Vortex phenomenon and considerably reduces the polymer pressures as well as pollution hazard. The heating circuit of the die-holder concentrates the calories nearby the cone’s surface and within all the reinforcements. This ensures a homogeneous polymer temperature until its entry in the die-plate. Equipped with a complex mechanical structure, this die-holder has been subject to thermo-mechanical calculations, and is able to provide a flatness level of less than 0.05mm under charges of 200 bars polymer pressure at a 250° C, for dimensions above 1 meter diameter. -
The die-plate
The die-plate integrates AMN’s latest innovations, such as :- Water injection through the centre (C.I.S)
- Insulation of the cutting strip by vacuum (A.P.I.)
- Tungsten carbide cutting face (5 years warranty)
-
The knife-holder
Named “A.C.E.”, it accommodates both SBX and SMX knives, especially efficient on very high flows
