About this machine
This Werner & Pfleiderer Continua 37 27 is a used plastic extruder — also commonly referred to as a screw extruder — a type of machine used in plastics processing to melt, homogenise, and continuously push polymer material through a die to form profiles, pellets, or other extruded shapes. Werner & Pfleiderer is a well-regarded German manufacturer with a long history of producing compounding and extrusion equipment for the plastics, rubber, and food processing industries.
This particular machine is a co-rotating twin-screw extruder, configured with two parallel screws rotating in the same direction. Twin-screw designs of this type are widely used for compounding, blending, and reactive extrusion tasks, offering good mixing performance and the ability to handle a broad range of materials. It carries machine number 220331 and was manufactured in 1985. It is currently located in Barneveld, Netherlands.
The extruder is fitted with 37 mm diameter screws and operates at an L/D ratio of 27, indicating that the screw length is 27 times the screw diameter — a configuration that provides adequate residence time and mixing capability for most compounding applications. Screw speed is variable from 0 to 400 rpm, controlled via an integrated variable speed drive. The drive itself is a DC motor rated at 7.6 kW, running on 440 volts.
The thermal management system comprises five zones in total: four heating zones and one cooling zone. Heating is provided by steam, and all five zones are monitored and controlled by individual temperature controllers. The barrel and main structural components are constructed from mild steel.
The machine is equipped with exchangeable screw segments, allowing the screw geometry to be reconfigured depending on the process requirements. A switchgear cabinet is included and is sold as-is. Additional screw sets are included with the machine. Overall dimensions are a floor footprint of 3.2 by 1.3 metres and a total height of 2.3 metres.
