Extrusion International 5-2023

29 Extrusion International 5/2023 Highlights Fakuma 2023 At the upcoming Fakuma fair, Promix Solutions will be presenting solutions for mixing, foaming and cooling of polymer melts. The fo- cus is on saving raw material costs, reducing the carbon footprint and increasing production capacity. For manufacturers of light foams such as XPS, XPP, XPE, XPET, Pro - mix will show how P1 cooling mix technology can be used to achieve better mechanical properties and lower foam densities. Promix dis- plays clever solutions for efficient cooling or tempering of viscous media and for inline viscosity mea- surement. Microcell Technology – saves raw material costs and protects the environment In plastics processing, materials account for 80% of the CO 2 foot- print and this is exactly where the company comes in. Promix Microcell Technology creates a microcellular foam structure in the polymer by adding environmentally friendly at- mospheric gases (N 2 and CO 2 ). This reduces the product weight by 20 to 50 %, which leads to massive sav - ings in raw materials. This not only saves production costs, but also the environment! Promix Microcell Technology is suitable for packaging films, sheets, foam core and corrugated pipes as well as profiles, cable sheathing, blow molding and blown films. Pro - mix will exhibit relevant key com- ponents at the Fakuma and will provide information on possibilities within specific fields of application. In the meantime, more than 300 in - dustrial references are in operation and various machine manufactur- ers are successfully integrating the technology into their plants. Promix Microcell Technology can be used for almost all raw materials. For example, for PP, PE, PET, TPE, TPU, PA, hard & soft PVC and bio - plastics. The technology is available both for newly planned extrusion lines and as a retrofit solution.
