plastics extrusion innovation & r&d
DESCRIPTION
The most innovative European extrusion centre for packaging and converting. R&D in graphene and nanoparticles. Lamination, printing, coating. Production lines range from 0.3 to 3,000 kg/h. Polymers: APET, CPET, foam PET, HIPS, PP, PLA, HDPE, ABA, PMMA, etc.TRANSCRIPT
Innovationis a state of mind
from r&d to industrial scale-up
The House of Extrusion®
The most innovative European extrusion centre for packaging and converting is Bandera.
The brand new centre, housing R&D activities and wet tests on complete production lines, is 3,000 m2 and it is the result of a € 4 million investment.
The House of Extrusion is a pragmatic sign of Bandera’s vision.
Jointly with customers, industry, academia and research centres, Bandera opens the doors to create new solutions that anticipate the market needs.
Bandera R&D team is focussed daily on developing innovative solutions in the following extrusion technologies.
•Blownfilmfortheflexiblepackagingandconverting/printingindustries(netwidthrangefrom600to2,800mm,upto9layers-polyolefinbasedmaterials,PA,barrierandbiodegradablematerials)
•Blownfilmforagriculture(upto22mnetwidth,upto7layers-polyolefin,polyammideandbarriermaterials)

EA - Extrusion Academy® is a place where to co-develop advanced extrusion solutions with us or via the acquisition of one of the new line of laboratory extruders.
With an Extrusion Academy line inside The House of Extrusion or installed in your research centre, it will be possible to explore many new applications like 3Dprinterfilaments,plasticphotovoltaics,plasticelectronics, smartpackaging,flexiblesensors,etc.viananocompositeslikegrapheneandother2Dmaterialsin/onplastics.
