Dead Ringer® Crosshead

Dead Ringer Crosshead Crosssection View

This crosshead is extremely versatile, heavy duty and with the Dead Ringer®, it’s all about the Die Holder! An operator friendly front loading, 4-piece, fixed center crosshead consisting of a body, core tube, die holder and cover.

Interchangeable Die Holders provide a variety of technologies. The Dead Ringer® allows for single layer, single layer with stripe(s) and dual layer applications. Co-extrusion “versatility” is made easy by simply installing the corresponding Die Holder.

While the Dead Ringer® was designed as a fixed center crosshead, it also offers the options for applications requiring adjustable gum spacing, die centering, CV (continuous vulcanization), striping and multi-layer.

Applications such as pressure, tubing, sleeving, and semi-sleeving are achievable with Dead Ringer® crosshead technology.

Nylon, PVC, Polypropylene, Polyethylene, Rubber, Silicone, MFA, FEP, PFA to name a few, are examples of compounds you can expect to be able to run with the Dead Ringer® crosshead technology.
