Microcell Foam Extrusion Systems

Through physical foaming, significant material cost savings can be achieved in many extrusion applications. Promix microcell foam extrusion systems are used for a wide range of applications and for almost all polymers. Thanks to the production of very homogeneous microcellular foam structures, high-quality foam products with very low densities and excellent mechanical properties can be produced. Physical foaming can reduce material consumption and thus costs by an average of 20%. This not only saves money but also has a positive impact on the environment. With more than 300 Promix systems in industrial applications, total savings amount to about 260,000 tons of CO2 per year, and this number is increasing every year! Promix foam extrusion systems set standards in the production of microcellular foam products with a very homogeneous cell structure and high process consistency. Unique key components and extensive process knowledge form the foundation. The systems operate with environmentally friendly blowing agents nitrogen and CO2 and can be easily integrated into existing or new extrusion lines. Depending on the application, density reductions of 5% to over 70% can be achieved. In addition to their use in packaging films, Promix Microcell Technology is also suitable for sheets, foam core and corrugated pipes, as well as profiles, cable sheathing, blow molding, and blow films.
