Welcome to the Revolution of Foam Technology – Since 1987

Twin-screw innovative extrusion line for polyethylene and polypropylene foam production very low and very high density

New generation twin-screw extrusion lines

PE-PP Foam Sheet Extrusion Line – 100% Made in Italy

Twin-screw extrusion lines for making expanded, flexible, technical, ecologic, flat, non cross-linked Polyethylene (PE) & Polypropylene (PP) film, using “Direct Gasing” extrusion technology. 

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.

Know-How: FAP provides the specific advanced knowledge of all production processes.

Constant 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.

Continual contact with client: 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.

Flexibility: – FAP lines can produce any kind of traditional expanded materials, as well as innovative ones.
– All FAP’s machines and equipment can be introduced in already exiting production.

High technology: 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 and thus to lower material costs. The 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.

Technical assistance: FAP guarantees post-sale technical support for the successful management and maintenance, rapid supply of spare parts, immediate assistance by e-mail or by phone (9 am – 12 pm and 2 pm – 6 pm GMT+1, Monday to Friday) for any kind of technical & production support.

Warranty for FAP machinery (excluding wearing parts) is 12 months from delivery date.
