YOUR CROSSHEAD FOR MINIMAL DOWNTIME & MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY

JOE TOOLS' Zero Bleed Crosshead

Joe Tools' new Zero-Bleed Crosshead is the ideal solution for minimal downtime and maximum productivity. The Zero-Bleed Head's unique design can continuously run alternating skin or striping colors without stopping the production line!

As a result, this new system of non-stop production can greatly reduce setup time, eliminate waste, increase sustainability, and bring productivity to an all-time high. The technology of Joe Tools' Zero-Bleed Head utilizes 3 extruders, with a color layer switch diverting the flow of compound from 2 extruders onto the inner and outer layers of the applied insulation. Then the third extruder feeds the base compound for the center layer, which can perpetually run without change
