Capabilities

The Werner & Pfleiderer Continua 83 is a twin screw extruder designed for high-performance plastic processing. Twin screw systems blend, melt, and extrude plastic materials with precise control, making them ideal for producing consistent pellets, compounds, or finished plastic products. The ASEA electric motor (50.5kW, 1460rpm) delivers reliable power for continuous or batch operations.

Industries & Uses

Plastics manufacturers, compounders, and recyclers rely on twin screw extruders to process virgin or recycled plastics, add colorants or additives, and prepare materials for injection molding or other downstream processes. Smaller operations and startups can use this equipment to enter the plastics processing market without massive capital investment.

What to Check When Buying

When evaluating this 1982 machine, request complete maintenance records and inspect the screw barrel for wear, scoring, or corrosion—these are critical and expensive to replace. Check motor performance, coupling condition, and heating/cooling systems. Ask about processing history (materials, temperatures, run times) as this affects remaining lifespan. Have a technician verify gearbox oil condition and listen for unusual noises during operation. Arrange an on-site inspection to assess overall mechanical condition before committing.
