Applications

 

 

 

Raw Material Suppliers

Raw material producers utilize pilot lines as an essential component in day-to-day operations. The application can be either evaluating the properties and characteristics of resins and additives or controlling the quality and performance of a specific batch. Another increasingly growing application is the need for material suppliers to provide application oriented technical support to their customer.

Maxtrusion pilot lines are built to guarantee the most reliable results in a rapid and efficient way. The change-over time between recipes and products is minimized, the lines are calibrated to simulate real-time production lines but with minimum foot print and operational cost.

Narrow Web Production

A typical application for our pilot scale machines is the production of narrow web tubes for various applications. The tubes are commonly used either to produce pouches on a pouch conversion machine or as a roll stock on the fill and seal machine. Cheese, spices, flavors, and concentrates are, among others, products that could require such packaging concept.

 

 

 

Film Producers

Successful film producers have achieved high market shares by introducing new high-end products much faster to the market. That is only possible if they are able to quickly and reliably test and optimize their new ideas and formulations. Having a pilot line in the laboratory is an excellent tool for product development and screening. Performance improvment, cost reduction, and down-gauging are common goals for film suppliers. With our extensive experience in the industry we are able to configure and supply state of the art extrusion lines for a wide range of products and applications.

Research Centers and Institutes

Laboratory lines are standard tools for educational organizations as well as research institutes. Experimental scientific work must be done in a systematic and reproducible approach. Complete documentation of all processing parameters is essential for reaching solid and meaningful conclusions. Maxtrusion has developed an integrated system for data collection, processing and display in order to provide for complete monitoring of all relevant process parameters. .

 

 

Recycled material processors and Compounders

Testing extrudability, processability, bubble stability and later behavior on downstream conversion equipment are all typical applications for regrind material processors and compounders. A huge potential for cost reduction can be exploited by quickly and efficiently fine-tuning the recipe and compound before continuous production.
