THEYSOHN Counter-Rotating Parallel Twin-Screw Barrel — PIPLL Machinery's Premium Solution for Global Extrusion
Founded in 1945, Theysohn Extrusion Technology (THEYSOHN) boasts over 80 years of expertise in plastic extrusion, having delivered 40,000+ extruders worldwide as a top-tier manufacturer. Now, PIPLL offers the XTS series counter-rotating parallel twin-screw barrels, a premium solution tailored for the most demanding applications, bringing THEYSOHN's proven German engineering directly to your production line.
Base materials: 38CrMoAlA, alloy steel
Size: Φ68-Φ136,
L/D: 24D, 26D, 32D 36D — each precisely tailored to specific product and formulation requirements:
Treatment: Bimetallic inner case barrel & bimetallic screw, bimetallic inner grooves barrel & bimetallic screw, nitriding barrel & nitriding screw, electro-chromism.
PIPLL leverages THEYSOHN's German full-spectrum manufacturing, patented T-series wear technology, and specialized soft PVC design to deliver unmatched performance. The XTS series, engineered with modular flexibility, sets the industry standard for PVC siding, soft PVC products, and high-filled pipe production. Through PIPLL, customers gain access to three cutting-edge wear-resistant solutions: nickel-based bimetallic barrels (HRC58-62) ideal for pure PVC and low-to-medium filled compounds, lasting 3-4 times longer than standard nitrided steel; tungsten carbide bimetallic barrels (HRC65-68) handling 80+ parts high-filled formulations and recycled materials, with a lifespan exceeding 50,000 hours; and fully chrome-plated soft PVC screws (Ra≤0.2μm) that prevent material sticking and degradation—the global preferred choice for soft PVC extrusion.
24D: Optimized for rapid extrusion of general-purpose pipes and profiles, ensuring efficient and stable output.
26D: Designed for high-filled pipes and WPC profiles, delivering robust performance with challenging compound formulations.
32D: Ideal for manufacturing PVC free-foam boards and SPC flooring, guaranteeing excellent plasticization and product quality.
36D: Specialized for soft PVC products and medical-grade PVC extrusion, meeting the most stringent application demands.
PIPLL Customization Service Advantages
