Extrusion solutions for less energy and material

Through its partnership with the Swiss manufacturer Promix Solutions, the Dutch manufacturer MEAF has expanded its Extrusion lines extended to include the option of physical foaming. This enables a further Reduction in material consumption and lower weightwithout compromising on properties such as stackability and strength. Thanks to the use of nitrogen instead of butane and propane, which are frequently used, the process has virtually no negative impact on the environment.

Thanks to their highly efficient design, extruders from MEAF have, according to their own information, a 30 to 65 per cent lower CO₂-footprint than many of their competitors and enable a further reduction in raw material consumption. In addition, thanks to their flexibility, MEAF extruders can be used to produce almost all thermoplastics, including biopolymers and recycled materials such as bottle regrind and post-consumer regrind. The packaging in the picture is PET and PP as well as physically foamed trays made from rollstock produced on a MEAF extrusion line.
