Compounding system Polyolefin

Overview
PE compound production covers the manufacture of polyethylene (PE)-based compounds formulated with additives to achieve specific material properties. Efficient handling, accurate dosing and reliable conveying are central to consistent product quality and process throughput.

The Importance of PE Compound Production

• Variety and flexibility: Formulations can be tailored for density, flexibility and wear resistance to meet application requirements.
• Product quality: Accurate dosing of resins and additives is essential to maintain consistent compound properties.
• Productivity: Automated material handling and feeding reduce manual interventions and increase line uptime.
• Cost control: Optimized raw material storage and transfer lower waste and operating costs.

Products and Services

• Raw material storage and silos: Silos and bulk storage solutions designed for polyethylene resin, masterbatch and additives with configurable capacity and inlet/outlet options.
• Pneumatic conveying systems: Closed pneumatic systems for dust-free transfer of powders and granules, supporting vacuum and dense/pressure conveying modes integrated into the production line.
• Dosing and feeding systems: Precision dosing and gravimetric/volumetric feeding systems to deliver exact proportions of base resin and additives with automatic control.
• Process automation systems: Centralized control and monitoring for storage, conveying and dosing processes with data logging and recipe management to optimize production.

Sectoral Applications

• Packaging: PE compounds for films, bags and flexible packaging.
• Pipes and profiles: High-performance PE formulations for water, gas and sewage pipelines.
• Cables and wires: Insulation and jacketing compounds for electrical and telecom sectors.
• Automotive and appliances: Tailored PE compounds for components and housings.

Technical characteristics / specifications
