Extruder Degassing Module

Dry pumps

The EXDM system is a modular package for recycling and processing plastics. Select the manual or automatic control option for your new or existing installation for flawless performance and higher throughput. With Edwards’ trusted EDC dry claw vacuum pumps at its heart, the EXDM system is designed to tolerate a number of starts and stops without affecting the pump performance or your process.

Simple to operate

The EXDM system easily integrates into your existing system. With easy logic manual and intelligent automatic control options available, the system is robust with customisable filtration and control options.

Kinder on the environment

The proven Edwards dry technology gives you an added advantage. Equipped with a stainless steel claw mechanism and a coated inner chamber housing, the EXDM system does not generate waste water or oil. Your process gets the advantage of a corrosion- free operation.

Built-in solvent flush

You can choose between one or two filters that capture the solids and liquids from the process flow to ensure that the pump runs efficiently. The built-in solvent flush dissolves and removes any condensable build-up.

Not just a pump but also a complete vacuum solution
