Macchi at Plast 2023
Macchi team will be at Plast 2023 in order to illustrate you our latest innovations in blown film technology for :
• R-POD Flex line for regenerated films : evolution of the innovative POD Flex system ( Polyolefin dedicated ), very high productivity and specific configuration for the use of “ secondary ” raw materials ( regenerated / recycled ). 3 and 5 Layers , up to 1,200 kg / h maximum production and up to 3.600 mm width .
• Lines for barrier films up to 9 layers : single , double or triple barrier . The configuration of these Macchi latest generation lines up to 9 layers , allows great flexibility in symmetric and asymmetric barrier film structures .
• Lines for agricultural films : 3 , 5 and 7 layer coextrusion lines equipped with up to 2 m diameter die , for max . 4,600 mm width and 18 meters bubble circumference .
Moreover , during the exhibition period , Macchi will organize a shuttle service available for customers who want to visit our premises . During the visit , the customers will have the opportunity to see several lines under construction and testing phase , including two 3-layer lines 1800 mm width , available for prompt delivery .

Extrusion Lines
Bausano - a leading international player in the design and production of customised extrusion lines for plastics processing - will be present at Plast ( stand 41 / 42 and hall 13 ) with an exclusive exhibition that perfectly interprets its three distinctive values : tradition , innovation and respect for the environment , for a journey that celebrates sustainable extrusion in all its forms . The stand design concept is a combination of noble materials and multimedia contributions , in which outdoor and indoor spaces merge to guide visitors into a green factory , where nature and industry coexist . “ The birch tree symbolises resilience , versatility , perseverance , adaptability and tenacity . These are all characteristics that distinguish us ,” says Bausano Vice President Clemente , who continues , “ A symbol that is perfectly in line with our sustainable growth strategy , which sees the company actively engaged in quantifying the environmental footprint of its processes , products and services , in order to reduce emissions and promote a more rational use of natural resources such as water and energy , for the benefit of future generations ” A four-day event in which Bausano will present the following technologies : the E-GO 60 / 37 extruder for PP / PE pipes , equipped with a head for the production of single-layer 250 mm diameter pipes , with IPC ( Internal Pipe Air Cooling ) included , and the MD118 / 30 series with induction system and dual outlet head for the production of PVC pipes . The E-GO 60 / 37 is equipped with a loss-in-weight gravimetric dosing system : a plus that allows complete control of production , for final outputs of excellent standards . Compared to a standard volumeter , it is self-calibrating and allows the weight of material processed by the extruder to be measured in real time , sending continuous feedback to the Digital Extruder Control 4.0 ( PLC ). The latter determines the rotational speed of the screw , depending on the changes in the material flow and the mass detected , while keeping the weight / metre of the pipe constant . In this way , Bausano lines allow each metre of pipe to be extruded to predefined specifications . Further distinguishing features of the EGO 60 / 37 are the IP23-rated , three-phase asynchronous , low power consumption AC motor , directly coupled to the three-stage gearbox with ground helical gears , bimetallic screws and rifled mouth cylinder , guaranteeing maximum resistance to wear . The innovative extruder is also characterised by its screw geometries , specifically designed according to the customer ’ s requirements and the variety of polymers processed , for high output in terms of Kg / h , without excessive mechanical stress . The E-GO 60 / 37 extruder is equipped with a 250 single-layer head with Internal Pipe Air Cooling ( IPC ). A technology that , thanks to air flows in the opposite direction to the extrusion , cools the pipes intensively , uniformly and all round , directly in the extrusion head , for superior productivity , finished product quality and energy efficiency . With its compact design , it requires little space in the line installation process and , thanks to the IPC , is also reduced in length . A highlight among Bausano ’ s innovations is the MD118 / 30 Nextmover in which the patent-pending Smart Energy System technology meets the need for more sustainable and efficient plastic extrusion processes . It is an induction system for heating the cylinder , without contact and by means of an alternating electromagnetic field , which not only significantly reduces component wear for a longer machine life cycle , but also cuts energy consumption by 35 %. Made of carbon steel and chrome-plated surfaces , the double outlet head on display , fully thermoregulating both externally and internally , completes the extrusion line for PVC pipes , based on the MD Nextmover range of extruders offered by Bausano . Thanks to the optimisation of internal head volumes and compression ratios , a high throughput of up to 2000kg / h can be achieved , with temperatures and melt pressures significantly lower than standard .
