The 2711 Automated Necking Machine utilizes the BW-TEC split-die concept to neck down polymer tubes. The tubes are automatically separated out of the tray and fed to the necking process. In this step, the tube is pulled through a heated die and automatically reduced to the same diameter on both sides.

The dimensioning of the die, its temperature and the pulling speed define the process. The necked tube is placed into a tray and can be taken out from it during operation.

A simple process transfer from the manually operated BW-TEC split-die machine to the 2711 Automated Necking Machine is possible.

The Automated Machine convinces through precise reproducibility of the parison lengths, fast processing times and high process reliability. The automatic process flow and the increased quality and quantity free up valuable resources.
