The WT tank provides cooling through tank water flow, while

the ST spray tank cools with water flow and water sprayed

OPERATION

onto the extrusion Immersion rollers inside each tank cham-

ber keep the extrusion positioned for even cooling.

1

Determine the cooling mode you will use.

The best cooling mode and roller position for your profile depends upon your material and process.

●Immersion cooling: The extrusion should be fully immersed in the tank water. The immersion rollers are usually positioned above the extrusion to keep it sub- merged.

●Spray cooling: The extrusion is cooled by water sprayed over its surface. An inch or two of runoff water flows below the extrusion. The immersion rollers are usually positioned below the profile.

2

Make sure the extruder and puller are ready.

The extruder should be discharging melt or extrudate that is up to the correct temperature. Set the extruder and puller at minimum speed.

3

Center the tank with the extrudate. During installation, you aligned the tank with the extrusion line. Before each operation of the tank, you should fine tune the height and side-to-side position of the tank to align it with the center of the extrudate.

Height Adjustment:

Looking down from above the tank, turn the small hand- wheel to move the tank toward or away from the operator side until it aligns with the center of the extrudate as it exits the die.

Side to Side adjustment:

Kneeling at the upstream end of the tank at eye level with the die, turn the large, spoked wheel to adjust the tank height until it aligns with the center of the extrudate.

4

Turn on the water supply to fill the tank.

Adjust the standpipe for the water level you want to main- tain. If you have the optional recirculation system, make sure the water level in the reservoir is above the pump input before proceeding.

5

Move the tank downstream from the die. Use the large linear actuator handwheel to slide the tank about 4-8 inches downstream from the die or additional sizing equipment.
