Planetary Roller Extruder Engineered in Türkiye Since 1995
ISO 9001:2015 & CE certified. Academically validated. Trusted in 40+ countries. Eight models from 45 kg/hr laboratory scale to 2,500 kg/hr production, at 30–50% lower investment than European alternatives.
58-second clip: raw material entering the feed hopper, PVC granules exiting the discharge unit — real production, no animation.

Why Choose PLATEX by Takımsan
The planetary advantage — precise temperature control, high filler capacity and self-cleaning geometry — at substantially lower capital cost.
-
Gentle, Low-Temperature Processing
Heat transfers across a melt film only 0.1–1 mm thin, not through viscous shear. Melt temperatures run 15–30 °C below an equivalent twin-screw: ideal for heat-sensitive PVC, TPU, bioplastics and masterbatch.
-
Self-Cleaning Geometry
Satellite spindles continuously wipe each other clean. No dead zones, and colour changeover typically under 10 minutes against 30–60 minutes on a twin-screw.
-
High Filler Loading to 80%
Up to 80 % filler by weight, and up to 400 PHR depending on the polymer: calcium carbonate, talc and flame retardants at loadings that overload twin-screw systems.
-
Lower Energy Consumption
20–25 % less energy than an equivalent twin-screw. At 1,200 kg/hr a PLATEX draws about 62–70 kW against 95–110 kW, an estimated saving of €12,000–20,000 a year.
-
Academically Validated
Cited by Formela and Eyigöz as one of two manufacturers globally producing lab-scale planetary roller extruders. Independent academic recognition of the engineering.
-
30–50% Lower Investment
Same planetary technology as European systems, manufactured in İstanbul under ISO 9001:2015. 1 m of planetary barrel replaces about 4 m of twin-screw, with substantially lower capital cost.

Applications
Heat-sensitive materials, high filler loadings and demanding compounds. PLATEX by Takımsan supports seven application families.
Soft PVC Compounding
Cable compounds, hose and flexible profile at low melt temperature. Uniform plasticiser dispersion, rapid colour changes.
View application Rigid PVCRigid PVC Compounding
Window profiles, pipe and cladding without degradation risk. Precise temperature control across the whole melt film.
View application BioplasticBioplastic Compounding
Low-shear processing for PLA, PHA and PBAT. Precise temperature control prevents thermal degradation of heat-sensitive bio-based polymers.
