Ultra Extruder

Low Cost, High Value

The ULTRA horizontal extruders are fully equipped, not stripped like other pre-engineered or standardized extruders.  The ULTRA line offers more standard features and a longer list of available options compared with the competition, so you can configure your machine to your specifications at an affordable budget.  ULTRA extruders can be cost effectively customized to fit your exact operational and process requirements.  And, in another departure from the competition, wet testing is included with every one of our ULTRA extruders. Standard features not found on many competitive extruders include: customized Steward Barrier Screws with Colmonoy 56 hard faced flights for long life; digital pressure indication with automatic high-pressure drive shutdown for operator safety; heater burnout detection and alarm system; and a heated, single bolt clamp for fast die changes.

Our 5 Point Customer Protection Plan is included with every ULTRA machine

1. American Kuhne's exclusive No Risk Guarantee gives you peace of mind that we will fulfill our promises or you may return the machine for a 100% refund

2. Three year warranty on all mechanical and electrical components insures lower operating costs

3. Comprehensive wet testing insures the fastest possible "plug and play" start-up for a faster return on your investment

4.  Complete spare parts package is replenished during the long three (3) year warranty for lower operating costs and maximum up-time

5. The lowest spare parts pricing in the industry provides the lowest possible cost of ownership
