Together with battenfeld-cincinnati, Labotek has developed a new drying technology - EAC (Efficient Air Cooling) – efficiently utilizing the hot air generated during the extrusion process. EAC is a cooling system in battenfeld-cincinnati’s pipe head. This unique drying system is designed for all pipe extrusion lines using EAC technology.

Delivery programme
Labotek has 3 drying systems available as standard. Systems are designed for drying of HD-PE for 1,500, 2,000 & 2,500 kg/h. The energy savings achievable when the EAC drying system is working to capacity are significant; a 1,500 kg/h HD-PE system needs only 11 kW, whereas a traditional system would use 91 kW *. This results in 88% energy saving.

The savings will return the investment rapidly.
