Take a Closer Look

American Kuhne ULTRA Extruder Difference

Our ULTRA Extruder line offers the proven technology and customized features required for your application, but we don’t stop there. We run every ULTRA extruder under load, with your specific or a similar stock resin, before we even ship it out. That comprehensive wet test validates mechanical and electrical functions. That also tests the pressure indicator and programs, auto-tunes the temperature controllers, and allows us to configure the drive parameters fully.

All medium and small machines also feature pluggable barrel thermocouples for quick disconnect and change; switchable die-plugs that eliminate breakers outside of the machine; and fuses instead of circuit breakers for improved short-circuit rating.

With our three-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, and our intelligently designed spare parts packages, the ULTRA gives you the smoothest start-up possible and continued peace of mind.
