The control panel and the extrusion head
system applied to the blown film line derives from the fact that - in addition to optimising recycling applications - it allows mineral fillers to be directly added , therefore skipping the purchase and processing of compounds , and focusing on individual components . As a result , it is possible to obtain single-layer films for products such as diapers , as well as filled films , stretch films , for the MDO ( Machine Direction Orientation ), or multi-layer films using several twin-screw extruders for different components . The line presented at the event - a 3-layer line with a central twin-screw extruder and two side single-screw extruders - was totally dedicated to recycling , „ yet we soon realised ,“ Santini points out , „ that in this configuration it is also excellent for other uses .“

SAVING ENERGY The company ’ s focus on energy efficiency , taking advantage of the technologies introduced year after year , is another plus in response to today ‘ s market needs . In fact , all the electrical components on Bandera machines are being currently modified by a dedicated engineering team . Among the new features , the validity of water-cooled motors instead of air-cooled ones is being verified , with greater energy efficiency guaranteed by the quick warming up to the heating temperatures of the heads and extruders . In addition , a study on customers is underway collecting a large amount of data in this field - less „ explored “ in the past - because a new directive from the government concerning the new Industry 5.0 scheme , as anticipated , will be based largely on energy efficiency and only the data from manufacturers are really reliable from this point of view . All this with the support of the ANY MA project , which is confirming the considerable advantages of the twin-screw system for blown film lines compared to the single-screw system , as it needs less energy to produce the same amount of film so , while taking into account the higher cost of the project , in the end it will |
results in lower management costs with positive effects on the total cost of ownership and therefore on the market . In terms of application , the Techno FleX PO5 system makes it possible to handle a vast range of products and materials . Gorla underscores : „ Films for lamination , shrink wrapping , thermoforming and general packaging applications , the whole with maximum flexibility and a table width of 1,800 millimetres .”
LEADER IN THE USA Meanwhile , the expansion plans in the USA are going on smoothly for Bandera . After the opening of a new office in Charlotte ( North Carolina ), since the beginning of the year the North American customers can also rely on a special technical support service that sees Fabrizio Pianezze in the role of manager , as is the case for the other numerous business units in the rest of the world . Three engineers are now available in the USA for everything that goes beyond the simple supply of lines , in addition to the Spanishspeaking team that has already been active for some time in Guatemala to take care of the markets of Central and South America .
