Nobody does it like Boston Matthews
The flexible solution – from extruders & downstream equipment to turn-key installations
Single-Screw Extruders
Designed and developed using over 50 years’ plastics processing experience, Boston Matthews Single-Screw Extruders provide the optimum performance and the highest quality at all times.
Consistent and precision speed holding combined with advanced screw design ensures the highest level of product quality output.
Designed to maximize energy efficiency and performance with a smaller footprint.
Caterpillar Take-Off (Puller)
Boston Matthews invented the Caterpillar Take-Off and with over 10,000 units in daily operation throughout the world the Boston Model ‘C’ or “Farris” Puller is classed as the Industry Standard and No.1 Puller in the USA and The World.
The importance of the Puller should never be under-estimated. The failure to pull accurately and consistently will have an adverse effect on the performance on the entire extrusion line resulting in out-of tolerance and poor quality production.
Cooling, Sizing & Spray Tanks
Designed for a wide range of industries and applications
The correct method of cooling or sizing is dependent upon the specific product requirements.
Boston Matthews design and manufacture a range of Cooling, Vacuum, Spray, Multi-Pass, and Specialized Tanks to meet your specific product sizing and cooling requirements.
Tube and Profile Cutting
Precision Accurate, Repeatable Cutting Of Tubes & Profiles
Servo Flying Knife Rotary Cutters
Servo accurate clean, swarfless in-line cutting of tubes and small profiles.
Precision accurate servo technology in combination with a super-heavyweight construction provides stable, movement-free consistent accurate cutting.
Servo Fly-Wheel Cutters
Powerful fly-wheel cutter with Servo precision accuracy for the cutting of large tubes, pipes and profiles.
Moving Head Planetary Cutting
Clean, accurate and swarf-free cutting of tubes and pipes.
Boston Matthews Planetary Cutters automatically detect line speed and initiate the cutting sequence whilst travelling with the product. The result is a clean, square, accurate and repeatable cut every time.
Tube and Profile Saws
Precision Accurate, Repeatable Tube, Pipe & Profile Saws
AS – Automatic Saws
In-line precision accurate sawing of tube, pipes and profiles into repeatable cut lengths.
Boston Matthews Automatic Saws (AS) automatically track the extrusion line speed and initiate the sawing operation for an accurate, clean, square cut.
Servo Saws
A Servo Controlled Table automatically tracks and speeds up to the extrusion line speed before initiating the sawing operation. After delicately clamping the product the sawing operation takes place ensuring a clean, accurate cut length is always produced.
All-Electric Servo Saws
Close tolerance, repeatable cutting of pipes, tubes and profiles.
With complete control over the entire sawing operation the All-Electric Servo Driven Saw provides such accuracy the need for any secondary cut operation is completely eliminated.
Coiling and Winding
Coiling or Winding of extruded tubes, pipes and flexible profiles is an extremely critical area.
Boston Matthews UC 600 Take -Up Winder provide an easy and cost effective means of winding Tubing and Profiles.
The Winders are available with a range of standard coil formers or can be customized to suit your Reels. Tension and speed is precisely controlled throughout the winding process, even for very lightweight products. The traverse width and pitch are fully adjustable ensuring a clean and neatly wound coil.
Boston Matthews High Speed Automatic Winders provide a means of winding Tubing and Profiles at high line speeds.
The Auto-Winder is available with a range of formers or can be customized to suit your Reels. Tension and speed is precisely controlled throughout the winding process, even for very lightweight products. The servo-controlled traverse system is fully automatic ensuring a clean and neatly wound coil.
Plastics Recycling
Munchy were one of the first developers of the recycling concept within the plastics industry with the invention of the Dual-Diameter Screw.
Today the MUNCHY Dual Diameter Screw remains at the heart of our recycling range as it’s performance and ability to produce the highest quality pellets from scrap material is unquestioned.
MUNCHY has over 5,000 recycling systems in over 50 countries worldwide and remains at the forefront plastics recycling technology.
