ENTEK Expands Polymer Processing Solutions with Three New Product Lines

ENTEK Expands Polymer Processing Solutions with Three New Product Lines

2026-05-27

In the rapidly evolving field of polymer materials processing, efficiency, reliability, and flexibility have become critical competitive advantages for manufacturers. ENTEK, a leader in co-rotating twin-screw extruder technology, addresses these challenges through three innovative product series—HT (High Torque), QC3 (Quick Change/Clean), and HR3 (High Volume)—each designed to meet specific production requirements.

HT Series: Setting New Standards in Torque Density

The HT series represents ENTEK's flagship high-performance extruders, with the HT72 model establishing new industry benchmarks. Featuring an impressive torque density of 18 Nm/cm³ and a Do/Di ratio of 1.61, the HT72 achieves superior free volume efficiency, enabling higher processing capacity within a compact footprint.

Engineered for continuous 24/7 operation, the HT series combines robust construction with high-power motor configurations, making it particularly suitable for demanding applications involving high-viscosity materials or shear-sensitive formulations. The optimized screw design enhances material residence time and mixing uniformity, resulting in improved product performance.

Model Barrel Size (mm) Do/Di Ratio Torque Density (Nm/cm³) Max Screw Speed (rpm) Max Motor Power (hp) Max Motor Power (kW)
HT 72 71.20 1.61 18.0 1,200 1200 895
QC3 Series: Optimized for Flexible Production

Designed for manufacturers requiring frequent product changes, the QC3 series offers three barrel sizes (27mm, 33mm, and 43mm) with rapid changeover capabilities. The series features:

  • 27mm model: Ideal for laboratory use and small-batch production of high-value materials
  • 33mm model: Designed for quick changeover, easy cleaning, and quality control in small-to-medium batch production
  • 43mm model: Suitable for medium-scale custom compounding with minimal downtime between runs
Model Barrel Size (mm) Do/Di Ratio Torque Density (Nm/cm³) Max Screw Speed (rpm) Max Motor Power (hp) Max Motor Power (kW)
QC3 27 26.97 1.47 10.7 1,200 40 30
QC3 33 32.70 1.62 13.0 1,400 100 75
QC3 43 42.60 1.61 13.2 1,260 200 150
HR3 Series: Engineered for High-Volume Production

The HR3 series caters to manufacturers focused on large-scale, continuous production with minimal product changes. Available in four sizes (53mm, 73mm, 103mm, and 133mm), the series offers:

  • 53mm model: For medium-batch custom compounding with flexible speed options
  • 73mm model: Designed for large-scale custom compounding
  • 103mm model: Optimized for masterbatch production with high filler content
  • 133mm model: The flagship model for industrial-scale masterbatch production
Model Barrel Size (mm) Do/Di Ratio Torque Density (Nm/cm³) Max Screw Speed (rpm) Max Motor Power (hp) Max Motor Power (kW)
HR3 53 52.60 1.62 11.3 1,200 300 224
HR3 73 72.60 1.59 11.4 900 600 447
HR3 103 102.50 1.59 14.2 600 1,400 1,044
HR3 133 133.00 1.55 15.4 600 2,205 1,644
Technical Partnership Approach

ENTEK distinguishes itself through a collaborative approach to equipment solutions, working closely with manufacturers to understand specific processing challenges. The company's focus extends beyond equipment supply to include customized configurations, technical consultation, and ongoing support services.

This comprehensive approach has positioned ENTEK as a preferred partner for polymer processors across various industries, from research and development to full-scale industrial production.
