Guill announces new 800 series hybrid extrusion tooling

Guill announces the introduction of a new version of its popular 800 series, known as 800 Series Hybrid.

In some extrusion applications that utilise crossheads and inlines, layers of the exact same material are applied multiple times, using a single die. This method is used to reduce the propensity for errors caused by gels breaking through a thin wall, weld lines, inconsistent wall thickness, plus material and process variations. Additional errors include difficult-to-process materials and demanding applications where there is zero fault tolerance.

Seeking to design the next generation multi-layer die to overcome these challenges, the engineers at Guill looked for a way to incorporate this technology into an updated version of the 800 Series. This led to the creation of the 800 Series Hybrid.

The benefits of the 800 Series are retained, including compact design, low residence time and a common deflector bore that eliminates tolerance stack up.
