The sprinkle head for filament extrusion is an essential tool for effectively cooling the filament immediately after it leaves the extrusion nozzle. This tool is particularly useful for filaments like TPU, which can be very sticky during extrusion. By using this sprinkle head, you can improve the quality and performance of the filament by preventing sticking and deformation.
The design of the main unit allows it to be connected to a flexible tube with a diameter of 10 mm, making installation quick and hassle-free. For optimal cooling, it is recommended to use an adjustable 24V pump that can deliver between 1.5 and 5 litres of water per minute. Adjusting the flow to about 2 l/min provides an ideal balance between effective cooling and minimal pressure on the filament.
For easy operation, the sprinkle head can be mounted on an arm using M6 bolts, allowing for easy manipulation relative to your equipment. This enables the sprayer to be positioned in the best possible way to maximise the cooling effect.
