New generation twin-screw extrusion lines
Extrusion Lines for Polyethylene (PE) & Polypropylene (PP) Foam
100% Made in Italy. Since 1987.
Design and assembly of efficient production twin-screw extrusion lines for technical, flat, non cross-linked, low & high-density Polyethylene (PE) & Polypropylene (PP) foam with “Direct Gasing” process and converting machines.
Expanded materials produced by FAP’s lines are 100% recyclable, and manufactured using technologies and production processes sensible to atmospheric pollution are not causing problems to ozone and minimizing industrial wastes.
The Extrusion Lines developed and built by FAP in the last years have brought important innovations regarding the production of PE & PP foam.
COMPLETE AUTOMATIC LINES: FAP offers complete project with full new generation twin-screw extrusion lines, machines for the treatment of granulated blends, extrusion gas controlling unit, high-precision gravimetric dosers, equipment for the treatment of the film and automatic winding units, equipment for foam conversion.
UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY IN THE MARKET: Custom-made design and assembly of extruders with production capacity from 140 to 1200 Kg/h. The extrusion lines are based on twin-screw technology that allows a better control during the mixing process of the melt. The extruders are divided in areas with various temperatures and pressure levels and are equipped with dosing units with a high precision and fidelity. An accurate study and research of the construction and implementation of the electrical units has led to a remarkable energy saving method. FAP lines are designed to function 24h a day and therefore built with high quality materials, which are treated for long-life use and a handling with minimum issues.
Complete extrusion line for PE & PP foam
KNOW-HOW: FAP provides the specific advanced knowledge of all production processes.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT: During technical research and development of the screws and extrusion heads, FAP has optimized various materials concerning density and homogeneity, thus being the unique manufacturer able to offer excellent quality at a competitive price of the final product.
The improvement of the mixing process of PE with gas on one hand, and the use of the economical and efficient lines on the other one have led to a saving up to 20% of the costs, showing important figures for Kw/Kg of product.
CUSTOM CARE: Long-term experience and professionalism allow to provide a competent support for the customers, from the very first step of the production line’s planning until the putting into operation the machines. Regarding the specific field of extrusion in which FAP is a leader, the company guides and advises customers in order to achieve the best production profit for any kind of expanded material.
Gravimetric dosers
