Milestone Upgrade! KraussMaffei Refreshes TPU Production Capacity "Ceiling"

As the pace of industrialization accelerates and the quality of life improves, the global demand for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) continues to rise. TPU materials, with their excellent elasticity, wear resistance, and environmental performance, are being widely used in various fields such as footwear, tubing, films, automotive, and medical.
However, one of the core challenges in TPU production lies in capacity and efficiency. Traditional production equipment often struggles to meet the demands of large-scale, high-quality production, leading to capacity bottlenecks and cost pressures for enterprises. Against this backdrop, KraussMaffei launched the Golden Power large and medium-sized twin-screw extruder ZE 145 (hereinafter referred to as ZE 145) in April 2024, with a capacity of up to 4 tons per hour, effectively helping to break through industry capacity constraints.


Recently, the KraussMaffei Golden Power ZE 145 twin-screw extruder has been successfully delivered to a leading domestic polyurethane company and has smoothly passed the customer's acceptance. This milestone not only marks an important breakthrough for KraussMaffei in the TPU production field of the large petrochemical industry, but as the first domestically produced twin-screw extruder with a capacity of 4 tons/hour, the ZE 145 also stands out with its excellent performance and localization advantages, becoming a "super engine" for TPU production in the large petrochemical industry, helping the industry reach new heights.


The success of ZE 145 is inseparable from its strong technical advantages and localized innovation:
1
imported core components, stable and reliable
The key components of ZE 145 adopt internationally renowned brands, ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment under high-load operation, safeguarding continuous and efficient production.
2
localization of process components, reduce costs
Through the localization of production for process components, ZE 145 significantly reduced equipment manufacturing costs, while also shortening the delivery cycle, allowing customers to enjoy the competitiveness brought by advanced equipment at a better price and faster speed.
3
quick response after-sales, worry-free service
The localized service team provides 24/7 rapid response after-sales maintenance services, minimizing equipment downtime to ensure smooth production and give customers peace of mind.
4
intelligent control, easy operation
ZE 145 is equipped with an advanced intelligent control system, achieving precise control and real-time monitoring of the production process, significantly reducing operational difficulty and improving production efficiency.

The line was delivered to the customer in September 2024, and after several months of installation and debugging, it was successfully put into production, receiving excellent feedback from the customer. The ZE 145 not only helped the customer achieve a significant increase in production capacity but also notably reduced production costs and delivery cycles, truly achieving efficiency, stability, and peace of mind!
This successful delivery and acceptance is not only a victory for the ZE 145, but also an important breakthrough for KraussMaffei in the TPU production field of the large petrochemical industry. The ZE 145 twin-screw extruder, with its advantages of high capacity, high stability, low cost, and intelligent control, is redefining industry standards and helping customers seize market opportunities. KraussMaffei will continue to uphold the spirit of innovation, promote technological progress in the industry, and provide customers with more efficient and reliable solutions.
