Overview Introduction
ZSK Mc18 Extruder
The ZSK Mc18 high-performance twin-screw extruder is a standout product. With its torque output of 18 Nm/cm³, it has earned a strong reputation in the market as a throughput champion for applications requiring high torque—such as engineering plastics. The 30% increase in torque compared to the previous ZSK Mc PLUS extruder model translates into throughput improvements of up to 100%. As a result, the ZSK Mc18 twin-screw extruder ensures production that is both highly efficient and economically viable. Additionally, its optimal price-to-performance ratio, exceptionally energy-efficient operation, versatile range of applications, and the machine’s remarkable flexibility further enhance its appeal.
With a Do/D ratio of 1.55, the ZSK Mc18 strikes the perfect balance. It has proven its reliability in processing products that demand high torque—and enables seamless scale-up across the entire Mcl8 twin-screw extruder series. Additionally, it’s now possible to upgrade and modernize the ZSK Mc PLUS series to align with the Mcl8 lineup.

The gearbox lantern of the ZSK twin-screw extruders can optionally be equipped with an electronically secured maintenance opening. As soon as the screw shafts come to a complete stop, service personnel can open the gearbox lantern without tools, ensuring secure and easier access to the screw shaft coupling.
This feature, available starting from ZSK 32 size, significantly simplifies screw changes and maintenance, which in turn reduces machine downtime, thereby enhancing the system's overall efficiency.
