The Steele 90 Series Extruder

— Production rates up to 81 metric tons per hour

The Steele 90 Series is our second-largest stiff extruder and pug sealer combination, producing up to 81 metric tons per hour of green products. The durability of these green products permits direct setting on kiln cars or transfer across multiple belts before curing or firing.

  • Suitable for fine plastic clays, rocky non-plastic shales, abrasive fines and dusts
  • High-quality production with less processing than soft extrusion systems
  • Multiple drive options
  • Uses a wide range of dies
  • Minimal maintenance and downtime

Eliminate the cost of adding and removing water

The 90 Series processes materials between 5-20% moisture and varying degrees of plasticity, to handle a wider range of raw materials than comparable machines. The 90AD Extruder produces solid pavers and bricks, block and tile with void areas up to 65%, and robust pellets and aggregates with superior strength and structural integrity right out of the die.

Our global installed base includes 90 Series machines running for over forty years, backed by Steele service and parts.

The Steele 90BD Pug Sealer ensures superior pugging at the highest capacities

We match auger and liner combinations with your raw materials for optimal extrusion and higher quality finished products.

Intensive high-shear mixing and de-airing

The Steele 90BD Pug Sealer combines a large, open pug tub with an enclosed sealing auger section for high-shear mixing and de-airing. The sealing core, sealing die, shredder and auger sections are split for easy mounting and fast replacement.

The renewable sealing auger case features replaceable, long wearing high-chrome iron alloy liner segments. Adjustable pitch knives resist abrasion and mix a wide range of materials.

Motor, drive and die options for installation and production flexibility

The pug sealer and extruder offer multiple motor positioning options, with variable speed drives for different products and sizes. Multiple wearing part configurations offer customized settings for specific raw materials.

The 90 Series accepts a wide range of dies and includes two hinged mouthpieces for fast die changes. Our optional 3690 Hydraulic Die Changer gives you quick changes and fast cleaning between two telescoping die holders.

Steele’s in-house die design and manufacturing supports our stiff extrusion technology and helps us respond to your material processing needs quickly and effectively.
