ABOUT

More and more, our customers are asking for greater control and manipulation of the materials they’re using. At a time when innovation is moving at such speed and the competition is high, you’ll want a set up that delivers reliable results and where all components are in interconnected harmony with each other. We love this full extrusion system for the smooth and careful way it passes filament through the process.

The Xcalibur is our most powerful and top-performing desktop extruder. Feed pellets into the hopper here to begin the process. The extruder forms the polymer into a smooth filament before the filament travels through the Water Bath. Now cooled, the Tolerance Puller will now manage the diameter and pass the filament onward to the Winder 2.0, where it is smoothly wound onto the spool.

Measure Extrusion Performance

Not only are the machine components of this system interconnected, but they also have the ability to connect to your computer for monitoring and data capturing purposes. You’ll be able to use our bespoke software to monitor the performance for the Xcalibur and the Tolerance Puller, together on one screen

What’s Included?

Xcalibur

The Xcalibur extruder is one of the most advanced desktop extruders on the market today. It has an enhanced range of features including its triple high-temperature heater bands, all designed to work reliably at up to 600c (higher temperatures are available on bespoke order). This has been developed to melt almost any polymer, including high-temperature thermoplastics and metal powdered combinations.

The whole barrel, screw and coupling assembly are made from stainless steel. We’ve also tweaked the three stage screw design on this model to improve extrusion performance. This Noztek full extrusion system is capable of extruding approximately 10m per minute or 2 Kg per hour. This system requires 3.5 of bench space.

Cooling option 1: Water Bath

After extruding, the cooling process can easily compromise the tolerance of your filament. The Noztek Water Bath provides even and clean cooling to maintain control of the desired filament measurements.

Noztek have designed this stainless steel water bath to enhance all aspects of the material that passes through it with the highest quality components. The double-layer bath design and integrated pump system keep the water cycled and at a steady capacity. The tension of the filament is also heavily responsible for these results. Our all-new Water Bath maintains this tension, providing the ideal distance between extruder and Puller. After customising your settings on either side, this water bath will further enhance your experience for a truly professional filament manufacturing process. Tnis can optionally be swapped out for our Roller Conveyor for hygrophobic materials.

Cooling option 2: Roller Conveyor

When using hygrophobic materials, we have a dry alternative to the Water Bath – The Roller Conveyor.

Maintaining tension and maintaining a quality extrusion – the Roller Conveyor getly guides you filament along the steel rollers while the fans underneath them cools it perfectly. The legs are height-adjustable, further making this option as delicate on your material as you like.

This is the option we recommend for pharmaceutical contexts.

Tolerance Puller

The next step is pulling for steady tolerance. To get the best results; precision and consistency of tolerance is of essential. We have developed the Tolerance Puller to relieve some of the biggest causes of material and time wastage. With this machine you can systematically measure and manage the size of the filament, in synchronicity with the extruding process.

Users are able to set the diameter of the filament, the speed it renders and the error correction ratio. The system relies on tension to get smooth reliable results, firstly, the ideal distance should be set using the Water Bath. Secondly, pulling the material from a larger nozzle on the extruder to a much smaller diameter in the puller keeps the tolerance steady. This set-up will save you time and cost while reducing material wastage.

Winder 2

And finally, your filament is spooled to prepare it for printing.

Designed from the ground up to enhance your extruding experience, this filament winder has an embedded touch screen which allows greater control over your winding process. The Winder 2.0 is capable of winding up to a 2.2Kg spool at a time, with extreme accuracy.

This unit is a must for anyone using a Noztek extruder as it enhances the filament tolerances and directly winds all the extruded filament neatly onto a spool. When the winding is done, simply remove the spool and load it directly to your 3D printer.

The winding guide is powered by a belt-driven linear actuator using a stepper motor and controlled by our own bespoke software.

NEW: Pellet to Pellet Production

We’ve added a new bundle option, to add our Pelletiser to your Full System, with a generous discount of £1,000.

With an ever-expanding market for exotic composites, the Pelletiser completes the production set by enabling you to mix exotic materials and produce pellets for the market
