Microcell foam extrusion systems

The Procell nucleation additives developed by Promix are specially adapted to the Microcell foam extrusion of plastic melts. They lead to microcellular foam structures, a key factor for high mechanical strength of the foamed product. Homogeneous, very fine-cell foam structures are the key to high mechanical strength. Promix has developed specific Procell nucleation additives. These are specially adapted to the Promix Microcell foam technology and lead to microcellular foam structures. The additives can be used in foam extrusion and light foam extrusion for many polymers such as PP, PET, PE, PS, ABS, PLA and are suitable for food contact applications. Contact us for a test sample.

Promix gas dosing stations for physical foaming have been specially designed and developed to meet the needs of foam extrusion. Promix gas metering technology is characterized by high dosing accuracy, reliability and amazingly simple operation. Promix gas dosing stations meet all the requirements of a modern gas metering system for foam extrusion. These include high-precision mass flow control, process visualization by means of trend charts, operator-definable operating limits, data acquisition, and synchronization of the dosing rate with the extruder output. Implementation in the extruder control system via fieldbus system is also possible. •,Mass flow from 1 g/h up to 20'000 g/h •,Dosing pressure up to 680 bar

Promix supplies key components to optimize the production of light foams such as XPS insulation boards, XPET construction boards, XPE foam films, etc. Thanks to the improved cell structure, the foam density can be further reduced, and the throughput of the plant increased, resulting in significant cost savings in production. Replacement of iso-butane for the sake of the environment Iso-butane and other hydrocarbons are excellent blowing agents for high expansion foam production.However, they are also highly harmful to the environment and highly flammable, which increases the production risk. Promix gas dosing stations in combination with other retrofittable process engineering components enable at least a partial switch to the non-flammable and environmentally neutral gases CO2 and nitrogen. Your optimization potential ,Improved mechanical product properties ,Lower foam density ,Replacement of hydrocarbon blowing agents with CO2 and nitrogen ,Increased line throughput
