Description
This pilot plant is designed for the formulation and processing of plastics with a high recycled content. It is based on a monitored twin-screw extruder and an injection molding machine, enabling the development of sustainable compounds, the production of test specimens for characterization, and the adaptation of processing conditions to the specific characteristics of recycled materials, with comprehensive process traceability.
Equipment
- Twin-screw extruder with software for real-time monitoring of the compounding process
- Thermoplastic injection molding machine with process monitoring and control capabilities for producing test specimens and analyzing material behavior during injection molding
Services
- Formulation and compounding of plastic materials using recycled feedstock.
- Production of test specimens for material property characterization.
- Analysis of material behavior during the injection molding process.
- Optimization of compounding and injection molding parameters for materials with high recycled content.
- Support for the development of sustainable products with process traceability.
