Ever since its establishment in 1947 by Luigi Bandera, it hasproved to be a dynamic company focussed on innovation – the

perfect ingredients for a pioneer of the extrusion line sector inItaly and worldwide.

Today, Bandera designs and manufactures a complete range ofextrusion lines based on two major applications: blown lm , andsheet and foil with at die technology.

Over the yearsBandera has earned a

sound reputationworldwide

thanks to its integrityand top quality standards

Blown lm extrusion lines for exiblepackaging, converting and laminating

Undoubtedly, lm coextrusion represents the most consolidatedtechnology for the production of standard multipurpose packagingsolutions.

Today, the three-layer coextrusion lines are the preferred option.The standard conguration comprises a mid high-capacity extruder,arranged with two smaller extruders intended for the outer layers .

Bandera three-layer coextrusion lines combine top quality andquantity standards .

Building on strong customisation, Bandera extrusion lines arecharacterised by production need orientation, top versatility andsafety, combined with minimised power consumption .

The 5-layer conguration is perfect for customers needing highproduction exibility to process PE lm as well as barrier lm .

The 5-layer Techno Flex plus extrusion line has been designed for theproduction of technical lm with outstanding top quality mechanicalproperties .

The 5-layer Techno Flex plus series production range is denitelywide, and comprises, among others:

Film used in top performing converting lines

Film with specic characteristics intended for industrial applications

Barrier lm intended for food as well as medical and pharmaceutical

applications.

The brand new HYBRID FLEX series

The brand new Hybrid ex range comprises single-layer extrusionlines and coextrusion lines for the production of HDPE andbiodegradable/compostable resin blown lm .Pursuing on its commitment for environmental protection and powersaving, and conforming with the latest European laws about retailmaterials, Bandera has designed a multi-material extrusion line. Thebrand new Hybrid ex extrusion lines can process:

Compostable materials

Biodegradable polymersHDPE LDPE

The brand new Hybrid ex extrusion lines have been designed toensure top performance regardless of extruded products.A standard Hybrid ex extrusion line conguration comprises thefollowing :

Dosing system for 4 materials Extruders with bimetallic barrel and no-wear coated screwFixed extrusion head arranged with IBC system and high efciencycooling ringRotating haul-off unit, atteners equipped with either hard woodenslats or aluminium rolls; rollers specically designed for thin lm

processing Automatic single- or double-station winding unit, by contact

Each extrusion line can be customised to meet the customer’sneeds. Thanks to the consolidated partnership with the largestItalian bioresin and compostable resin producer, Bandera three-layerextrusion lines are accurately tested with different products.

Bandera agrilm coextrusion line exibility and versatility isincreasingly appreciated by customers, considering that, generally,agrilm is a seasonal product.

With the same coextrusion head and minimised set-up times, Bandera

coextrusion lines can produce agrilm as well as thicker lm (e.g.waterproong geomembrane ): a valuable chance to have an all-year-round protable coextrusion line, regardless of agrilm seasonality.

Bandera is a pace setter in agrilm extrusion lines.

Today, agrilm production is predominantly obtained bymulti-layer

coextrusion lines while single-layer lm application is increasinglyintended for a limited and low target market.

Nowadays, three-layer coextrusion lines are preferred as they satisfythe current requirements for agrilm. Nonetheless, future trends aretoward 5-layer line conguration ( with the possibilities to have 7-layerconguration).

The multi-layer lmensures an enhanced management of raw processmaterials and optimised additive distribution in every layer , thusincreasing lm physical and mechanical properties as well as light andheat transmission: as a consequence, the lm life cycle is increased.
