Plastics Technology

Various processing methods are used in plastics technology. The most common processes in plastics processing - injection molding, extrusion and pressing – can be realized at INNOVENT on different machine sizes, starting from the micro range up to the small pilot plant scale.

 

INNOVENT's largest processing machines are allocated to the Primer & Chemical Surface Treatment department. These are compact machines for industrial applications. This enables us to carry out practical tests on site. In addition to the production of test composites and test specimens, the field of application also includes the compounding of adhesive formulations and their production as film or granulate.

A wide range of granules is available, including commercially, modified and internally developed products.
The processing of customer products is also common. The preconditioning can be adapted to the respective granules or carried out according to the customers' requests,
such as:


Drying

In plastics technology, it is sometimes necessary to reduce the water content of the granules used to a certain value by drying. A dry air dryer (up to 150 °C) is used for the most common granulates. Alternatively, sensitive plastics or powders can be dried in a vacuum drying oven (up to 200 °C).

Flavoring / Aromatization

For special purposes, it may be possible to equip the granules with e.g. essential oils before processing.
