KY Dedicated to Develop Excellent Dual Screw Extruders

Most peer companies emphasize the components and raw materials used in the dual screw extruder when introducing their own competitive strength, while KY's core competitiveness can be described as "the simplest is the best", as the founder, Liu Guangzhi, said: "Focus on making dual screw extruders." KY's corporate vision is to make the best dual-screw extruder in China.

Advantages of KY dual screw extruder

Regarding KY's advantages, General Manager Li mentioned two aspects: first, talent advantage, many key staff members have 10-20 years of professional experience and have the strongest talent reserve in the industry; second, practical experience advantage, KY has been established for nearly 30 years, has delivered more than 8600 sets of equipment and refined extruder elements that are operating worldwide, and also has process operation experience for more than 500 materials, which is unmatched by peers in the industry.

KY is the first generation enterprise in China's dual-screw extruder field, and its growth history basically represents the development process of China's dual-screw extruder industry. After KY operated in a joint venture with Germany's Coperion for five years, it launched the third generation extruder, named the HK series, and HK73 is one of the representative products, in 2011, which absorbed the design concept of advanced international products, such as the diameter ratio of the screw, which is 1.55, commonly used worldwide, and the design of components such as the water channel and the base also accords with international ideas, the screw speed reaches 900rpm, and the production capacity is increased by 50% compared with the previous generation model, while the unit energy consumption is reduced by 30%. The fourth-generation product is the SK Plus series, which was launched last year. Its screw speed can reach 1200-1500rpm, torque grade reaches 15 or more, and it is completely benchmarked against similar products internationally.

KY's road of continuous innovation for dual screw extruders

Dual screw extruding granulator mainly provides raw materials for two major application fields, electrical appliances and automobiles, in recent years, KY has also achieved impressive results in some special application fields, from gunpowder mixing to food and feed industries, the figure of KY's dual screw extruder can be seen everywhere. KY is also paying attention to some relatively niche segmented markets, such as taking the lead in working with some lithium battery manufacturers, using dual screw extruders to replace the mixing process originally used by these manufacturers, greatly improving the material processing efficiency of the lithium battery industry.

In addition, KY has also entered the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene spinning industry. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is a raw material for making ropes for parachutes, ropes for tens of thousands of tons of ships, and bulletproof vests. Currently, KY's market share in this segmented market has reached 90%, making certain contributions to the development of China's national defense industry and shipbuilding industry.

KY has always kept up with the times and has been trying and exploring smart manufacturing. The newly developed KY cloud control system based on mobile and interconnectivity has already achieved stable operation of user work conditions. The system is based on industrial internet communication and integrates some SCADA and MES functions into the operation and monitoring system. It not only includes users' commonly used control interfaces, process parameters and trend data recording interfaces, but also can expand functions such as equipment management, equipment OEE analysis, order management, recipe management, remote maintenance, etc. Through connecting to the industrial internet, not only can users conveniently monitor and maintain their devices through KY cloud service, but also provide a unified standard TCP/IP communication interface and protocol to connect with users' ERP systems. It really achieves the fusion and interconnection of industrialization, digitization, and informationization of the company's extrusion production line.

Innovation knows no bounds, and KY has been continuously making breakthroughs in the path of dual-screw extruders! From product iterative updates, to the expansion of application fields, it always brings different surprises to the market. At the same time, this also enables us to see a powerful and upward force in KY!
