Filabot EX2 Filament Extruder

The Filabot EX2 system is our most advanced filament exturder. The EX2 features a three stage extrusion screw made from hardened and polished high carbon steel. This proprietary, patent pending screw is designed to pressurize plastics during the extrusion process, assisting in the diameter control and boosting the overall output. The mixing apability of the screw is enhanced by the utilization of a progressive compression section, which applies shear force between the polymer and the barrel wall. The EX2 also features extrusion speed control, which is exclusive to this model. The speed control board includes an automatic, variable voltage control module that is engineered to regulate the precise RPM of the screw as forces fluctuate in the extrusion process. When used with the Filabot Spooler, tolerances of +/- 0.5mm can be achieved at a rate of 1kg an hour.
