This Kühne KS45-24D is a plastic extruder — sometimes referred to as a plastics extrusion machine or compounding extruder — a type of industrial processing equipment used to melt, mix, and continuously form thermoplastic and other polymer materials into profiles, pellets, or compound blends. Kühne is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the plastics processing industry, producing extrusion systems for applications ranging from film and sheet production to compounding and recycling.
This particular machine was built in 2006 and is located in Germany, offered in used condition. Notably, it is described as still under power, meaning it remains in an operational state — a practical advantage for buyers wishing to inspect or verify its function prior to purchase.
The machine is sold as a complete line rather than a standalone unit. It includes an integrated SA 500 extractor, also manufactured in 2006, which handles the removal of gases or volatiles generated during the extrusion or compounding process. A 6-metre cooling section is also included, providing the downstream temperature management needed to stabilise extrudate after it exits the die. Together, these components represent a self-contained compounding setup ready for integration into a production environment.
