Extruders
Extruders are used for creating various objects of a fixed cross sectional profile. Extruders are used for manufacturing metals, polymers, ceramics, concrete and other type of materials. Extrusion offers several advantages over other manufacturing processes and thus extruders are used across various industries for manufacturing all types of materials especially the brittle ones which may break during other manufacturing processes. Extruders can work with both hot and cold materials and there are specialised extruders for dealing with specific types of materials. Most modern extruders use mechanical, hydraulic or electric power for functioning and can differ greatly from each other based on size, capacity etc.

Series 4 Ltd
View company profileHOTweezers represent the state of the art in the design and construction of thermal wire strippers.
Hotweezers thermal wire strippers weigh less than 57g including cable and connector, making it an ideal hand-held solution with smooth and efficient operation. The heater filaments are completely sealed in the stripping head of a Hotweezers thermal wire stripper device enhancing its performance consistently.
Advantages of using HOTweezers:
1. The filament is resistant to oxidation.
2. The stripping head will not distort nor lose alignment as is the case with ordinary hot wire strippers.
3. Since the filaments are enclosed, a greater portion of the heat generated is retained to do useful work. Consequently the power supply can be much smaller than usual, and the current consumption is drastically reduced. The M-10 power supply consumes a mere 20 watts at the highest temperature setting.
4. Wire holes can be ground into the stripping head without damage to the filaments. With wire holes, the rotation of the stripper required to accomplish a strip is reduced from 180o to 15o and mashing of conductors, especially the finer gauges, is completely eliminated.
5. Because the filaments are an integral part of the stripper body, no maintenance is required.
Three different models of the HOTweezers are available to satisfy most stripping requirements. For precise insulation removal Models 4A and 4B have stripping holes to yield a clean, even strip free of insulation "tails" and to prevent mashing of the conductor strands. Model 4C is designed for use on cable jackets and larger diameter conductors. Maximum cable or conductor O.D. that can be stripped is 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) and maximum insulation wall thickness is .05 inch (1.27 mm). For stripping requirements that exceed these dimensions the HOTnife can be used. All models have the new strip length gauge so that repetitive stripping operations can be done accurately. The gauge is easy to adjust without a screwdriver or special tools. The standard power cord for all three models is a flexible, lightweight cable with a high temperature silicone rubber jacket that resists burns.
