Company Profile of UNITEK
UNITEK is a crosshead manufacturer headquartered in Austria.
UNITEK crossheads are used in extrusion lines worldwide and have over 30 years of experience in the electrical wire industry. They are also used in a wide range of other industries, including catheters, wires, pipes, and tubes.
UNITEK's fixed center extrusion crossheads eliminates the need for centering.
This enables an extrusion process that is not dependent on the operator's skill or experience.
By eliminating the need for centering, it facilitates smooth color and variety changes.
It reduces scrap. High-precision machining and special heat treatment provide extremely high wear resistance.
There are three types of cartridges with different flow paths, allowing for optimal extrusion by selecting the cartridge that best suits the properties of the resin. We also support irregular extrusion and offer special crossheads.
