Plastic Transformation Processes
Theoretical and practical training in manufacturing technology, process auditing, pilot plant of different technologies and obtaining final demonstrators.
The plastics processing service encompasses a range of offerings, from theoretical and practical training in manufacturing technology to process audits with the objective of optimising the process in the final production facilities at the customer’s premises.
Transformation Processes
We have the following manufacturing processes available at our pilot plant:
- Plastic part injection.
- Extrusion and mixing of plastic materials.
- Sheet extrusion and blown film extrusion.
- Extrusion and blowing line for multilayer film (up to five materials).
- Extrusion with three gravimetric feeders (powder and liquid).
- Thermoforming.
- Filament extrusion.
- Compounding.
- Recycled material processing.
In addition, Andaltec can assist you in:
- Implementation of new manufacturing processes (injection, thermoforming, extrusion, RTM, infusion, etc.) to fully validate design, tooling, parts, and processes.
- Manufacturing tests for multilayer and monolayer films.
- Thermoforming tests for polymeric materials and the production of pre-series of thermoformed trays.
- Mold functionality tests to determine parameters for validating appearance, dimensions, and other part characteristics.
- Cost optimization for injection molds for pre-series/prototypes using a small-tonnage machine (28 tons).
- Short-run injection molding, including materials with short and long fibers.
- Extrusion tests for 3D printer filament.
- Custom material production with advanced properties tailored to client requirements: high-value-added technical plastics, conductive materials, nanocomposites, biomaterials, etc.
- Setup of polymeric material recycling processes, including shredding, extrusion, pelletizing, test specimen production, and material characterization.
