[Examples of Achievements / Customer Feedback] STEER Twin-Screw Extruder / Omega Series.

STEER's co-rotating twin-screw extruder, OMega series. What are its major advantages?

We interviewed the executives of a major compounding company, "K," which has actually implemented the OMega series, about their reasons for adoption and its effects. Q: Among the many extruders for compounds, can you tell us why you chose STEER's OMega series? A: We believe that the recent labor shortages and the challenging production conditions due to day-and-night operations will continue. In this context, we chose the OMega twin-screw extruder, which has a deep groove type with a Do/Di ratio of 1.71 and offers advantages in production volume. Q: After implementing it, have you confirmed its effects? A: We confirmed that the OMega twin-screw extruder, sized the same as a typical twin-screw extruder under the same conditions, achieved a 30% increase in output per unit time under the same operating conditions. Q: Did you experience any benefits regarding manpower? A: We were able to secure the necessary production volume even with daytime operations alone, which helped to fill the gap of not being able to operate at night, thereby controlling the increase in labor costs. Q: What role does the OMega series play in your factory? A: The OMega twin-screw extruder is our main model. We intend to continue utilizing it for compound production in that capacity moving forward.
