Polymer Compounding

NFM / Welding Engineer’s polymer compounding technology has been trusted for over a half-century. Featuring both the intermeshing technology of our TEM Series and the counter-rotating, non-intermeshing design and performance of our WE Series, NFM can offer a compounding system designed for your specific application.

As a leading manufacturer of intermeshing twin-screw extruders, non-intermeshing twin-screw extruders, and full polymer compounding turnkey systems, NFM is uniquely qualified to support any and all of your process requirements.

TEM Series Co-Rotating Intermeshing Twin Screw Extruders

• High shear capabilities for superior melting of multiple polymer streams
• Intensive dispersive mixing for excellent homogeneity
• Flexibility of screw and barrel configuration design for various feed streams

WE Series Counter-Rotating Non-Intermeshing Twin Screw Extruders

• Low shear and high surface renewal for superior washing & venting
• Wide feed openings and downward screw motion for excellent feed acceptance
• Long L/D ratios permit multistage additions
• Reduced wear due to minimize rubbing surfaces in the non-intermeshing design

NFM’s Process Development Engineers continuously work directly with you, and perform independent research, aimed to optimize polymer compounding processes. Our Process Development Lab is fully equipped to test, optimize, and scale-up your polymer compounding application in any discipline, including:

Direct Extrusion & Coating

NFM offers a complete extrusion lines engineered to combine the manufacture of your final product with in-line polymer compounding. Whether you’re looking to produce profiles, film, sheet, or apply a layer of compound to a continuous process (coating), NFM will work with you to develop a product system which puts you in complete control of you product formulation and eliminate the need to purchase pre-compounded materials.
