NFM/Welding Engineers is a pioneer and innovator in the design and manufacturing of systems for the rubber and plastics industries.
NFM/WE manufactures equipment for compounding, finishing and speciality applications.
These include:
- Single-screw rubber and plastics extruders
- Co-rotating twin-screw extruders
- Counter-rotating twin-screw extruders
- Calenders
- Roll mills
- Tire-curing presses
Each system is designed to provide decided processing advantages necessary to enhance productivity in critical applications.
NFM/WE's computer-engineered systems integrate all secondary equipment including:
- Pelletizer
- Screen-pack changers
- Feeders
- Material-handling equipment
These systems are equipped with advanced microcomputer programmable controllers, providing a direct interface with all operations.
TWIN-SCREW CO-ROTATING EXTRUDERS
The Toshiba SS Series* co-rotating twin-screw line offers the highest torque-per-free-volume and the highest screw speed of any commercial
available compounding extruder. Manufactured in North America, it is available in sizes ranging from 37 to 175 millimeters.
TWIN-SCREW COUNTER-ROTATING EXTRUDERS
The counter-rotating, non-intermeshing system designed by Welding Engineers enhance feed acceptance, provides superior distributive mixing, enables multistage feeding, and produces optimum venting.
Screw diameters range from .80 to 10.00 inches.
PIN-BARREL RUBBER EXTRUDERS
NFM pin-barrel cold-feed extruders offer greater output than the same size cold-feed extruder with lower operating cost.
SMOOTH-BORE RUBBER EXTRUDERS
NFM smooth-bore rubber extruders offer the simplicity of a single machine, resulting in fewer emissions, reduced wastewater volume, and safer, cleaner handling.
Cold-feed vacuum extruders provide lower porosity in continuous-cured rubber extrusion.
SINGLE-SCREW PLASTICS EXTRUDERS
NFM offers a range of single-screw plastics extruders from 3-1/2" to 10", and vacuum extruders from 3-1/2" to 8".
CALENDERS
NFM's IDDON mixing mills and calenders are designed to handle all type of rubber materials. A leader in calender design, NFM equipment incorporates the latest technology and can be made to any roll configuration.
TIRE-CURING PRESSES
NFM/WE tire-curing presses meet and exceed industry specification, ultilizing three patented features:
Segemented mold operator(SMO) kit
Loader Basket
Beam lock
