Independence through in-house production and quality assurance
All essential process engineering components are produced in our manufacturing facility in Troisdorf, with state-of-the-art machinery (5-axis machining centers) even the most complicated geometries can be executed. The finishing is complex, the polishing of the flow channels is largely manual work which requires craftsmanship and a great deal of experience, that must be carried out with extreme care.
Foreseeing Trends
We accept the challenges from the market and react before we are asked. We identify new trends in the market and plan how we can contribute to the changes. The close exchange with our customers and partners inspires us time and time again.
We are your point of contact for R&D projects. Our technical centers in Germany and the USA will carry out product and material testing, pilot series work, and conduct training on process engineering to assist you in challenges of your production process.
We offer you the perfect production solutions, whether you want to equip a new plant or retrofit your existing machines. In both cases you remain competitive and produce according to the latest technological standards.
Our extrusion heads for extrusion blow molding meet the highest demands for precision, availability, performance, and ease of use, ensuring a safe and cost-effective production.
Our range of available extrusion heads is shown in the table below. We are happy to provide assistance, and individual designs of extrusion heads.
Through many years of experience in design, construction, manufacturing, and operation of our extruders for view stripes and thin-walled parisons, our equipment allows the widest possible processing spectrum and enables an extremely long service life of the extruder. Our compact extruders are perfectly adapted to your requirements in many variants: including vertical (e.g., for retrofitting) and horizontal designs. For high throughput applications, we have premium extruders with heat-separated feed zone cooling, which delivers a flawless melt for the process. We also offer corresponding extruder and screw designs for materials such as PVC, PA, EVOH, E-PET, and adhesion promoters.
Our controls are ideally suited to our extruders and parison head systems. With them, you always have your production flow safely in view.
Our MERC control system (Müller-Extrusion-Retrofit-Control) can be used on original equipment and for retrofitting existing blow molding machines. It offers insightful and appropriate operator guidance. The MERC makes our comprehensive machine retrofits so successful and, in some cases are necessary to make it all possible. All your important process data can be displayed simultaneously via a large touchscreen. The MERC works with exact models of the die head and extruders in 3D, making it much easier for you to operate complex retrofits. New extrusion blow molding machines can be equipped with a MERC to achieve a very clear separation between extrusion and machine functions.
For smaller retrofit solutions, the miniMERC is the perfect answer. This control consists of a 7" touch-screen PC and has all the basic functions required for proper extrusion. The miniMERC also works with exact representations of the die head and extruders in 3D. The miniMERC can also be used as a compact and cost-effective WDS retrofit.
Electric Wall Thickness Control (EWTC) - Always in the Right Position
Our extrusion heads can be equipped with an electrically driven, low-maintenance wall thickness control. We supply these fully electric wall thickness controls with a tensile and holding force of up to 1000 kN. Accurate predictability, low-maintenance and durable - even after millions of production hours. In short: Our EWTC can withstand any load.
Melt accumulators - first in, first out!
Our melt accumulators for the control of multi-layer accumulator heads, discontinuous extrusion heads with several parisons
or special capabilities such as a color gradation are available with both electric and hydraulic drives in various sizes
from 30 ml to 25 l.
Quick-change systems - back in production in no time
For multi-layer systems, we offer you a specially developed design to connect several extruders to different heads, cleanly, easily, and quickly, this also allows a change in the number of cavities as well as the position of the layers in CoEx applications. This system leads to the greatest possible flexibility for your extrusion system and thus offers investment security for the future.
Screen changer - everything clean
The compact design of our screen changers offers the possibility of retrofitting even when space is limited. They become an essential part of the machine when processing PCR because the screen removes the impurities consistently and efficiently. They are user-friendly and require little maintenance. The screen changers are installed and adapted according to the connection geometry of your extruder and can be equipped with a hydraulic or electric drive. The easiest way is to use a handwheel or a cordless screwdriver, which makes changing screen inserts a quick and safe operation. Screen changers are available for many common throughputs.
PWDS® - for the perfect partial material distribution
Our heads can be prepared for PWDS®-/SFDR®-Systems from Feuerherm GmbH.
Extrusion tools
We design all types of extrusion tooling, that will work to fit your needs. If you plan to use your existing tooling, we will check the parameters and modify the head design accordingly.
Swiveling die – for the perfect curves
We developed our swiveling die for specially shaped products and parisons. Using a dynamic parison thickness regulation on a 360° ring surface, it allows a partial wall thickness distribution for curved pipes. Thanks to our swiveling die, the material thickness is consistent along the entire article length and circumference of the article. Material thickness changes within the article can also be achieved.
We know that the efficiency and productivity of our products are important factors to you. Our W. MÜLLER service team supports you in the maintenance of your machines, by offering repair services in difficult situations. Our teams work efficiently with the highest level of professionalism - supported by our spare parts inventories and worldwide shipping capabilities. Our in-house production is your advantage. Even our complex designed parts are available as replacements within a short period of time.
Preventive maintenance and service is an important issue for us. We are happy to offer you high-quality service packages for your machinery.
Our extrusion heads are often in use for several decades because we offer flawless service. This applies to our entire range of spare parts, including heating elements, wear parts, servo motors and wall thickness programmers, to only name a few. We can replace appropriate parts without jeopardizing your production process – on site if necessary.
When the quality of the article no longer meets the requirements, when color change times begin to increase, when wall thicknesses is not as consistent as it used to be, we offer maintenance and cleaning of the extrusion heads by our experienced service technicians. Do you need to upgrade your existing extrusion head with view stripe capabilities, make changes to your current layer structure or tooling dimensions, change the center distance of your die head? No problem, we will clean, repair, and refurbish your W. MÜLLER equipment, to bring your process up to date.
Extrusion blow molding is an extremely complex and very sensitive process. Knowing the significance and interrelationships of the many influencing variables and controlling them so that production parameters and article quality run together, require a great deal of experience and skill. We are happy to share our experience and knowledge with you, regardless of whether it is an extrusion head from us or another manufacturer.
We offer installation and assembly of new, used, or existing heads on new EBM machines or your existing machines at your facility. Commissioning of the die head and training of your personnel are included.
