What's new? The 93mm screw diameter and 34D processing length. The fiberEX 93-34D offers options for direct addition of colorants, degassing and flexibility in plasticizing. Its air power cooling system ensures even barrel temperatures and homogeneous melt temperatures.

Benefits The potential for reduced material costs, especially in decking, by the ability to use low-cost fillers like rice husks and recycled fibers and to produce hollow profiles.
