All crossheads are available with fixed or manual centering.

Depending on the application, heads for colour changing systems or heads in different designs, as per extruder arrangement and working direction are available.

All distribution cartridges are designed with single or double distribution curves without holes or slots. For special applications, additional special type cartridges are offered.


Crossheads for Special applications

The IT-Series of Crossheads, a special dual layer head design with an additional extrusion tool (intermediate tool - 2IT) between standard type wire guide and die, for a separated extrusion of two identical or different materials in one head, like bedding plus sheating compound, are available for dual extrusion with fixed centering or manual adjustment and for additional co-extrusion of stripe(s) or skin.

The Standard and Vario Series of Crossheads featuring short and compact fixed center designs with cartridges with heart curve and hole distribution. These heads are used for single extrusion and additional co-extrusion of skin or stripe. 

UNITEK further offers a number of heads for special applications, like
  • heads with heating/cooling shells for rubber extrusion, or
  • heads for extreme thin wall single or
  • multi-layer extrusion.


Crossheads for Fluoro-Polymers

are available for single layer extrusion, skin co-extrusion and stripe co-extrusion.

To create the optimum solution for every application different centering-designs with fixed centering or manual centering as well as compact head-designs, made from one solid block or modular head-designs, with a separation between the basic head and front head.

All Fluoro-polymer heads are made of UNALLOY™, a fluoro resistant, hardened, low wear material. The distribution cartridges are designed as per the free flow principle, without holes and slots.
