Small scale machines for big sucess – MPB Italy does trials at ENTEX testing facilities

Industrie POLIECO – M.P.B. Srl from Italy visited us in our Technical Centre for trials with the aim to test our planetary roller pilot lines for different polyolefins which MPB is producing. Thanks to their unique mixing principle, the accurate temperature control and modularity the ENTEX Planetary Roller Extruders can perform all the process steps for compounding of a wide variety of materials. The tests have been run successfully on a four-module size 30 laboratory roller extruder which provide MPB with promising results. Our process team will be happy to conduct the scale up on a production scale Planetary Roller Extruder.
