Bausano’s special PVOH extrusion lines for bioplastic compounds

A powerhouse of technology

The biodegradable and compostable plastics sector is growing steadily and this is partly due to the fact that several measures have been taken, especially in the EU, to cut down on single-use plastics. For instance, it is estimated that the market for PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), a water-soluble thermoplastic polymer predominantly used in food packaging, will record a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 6% over the 2021–2026 period. Bausano meets these new requirements thanks to its special PVOH extrusion lines, from the MD Nextmover product family, for the production of water-soluble bioplastic granules, which are ideal for the subsequent blown film extrusion process.

Is Induction Barrel Heating better?

Our testing on Smart Energy System has shown that it is not only much more efficient but also much more responsive.

The barrel heating system uses electromagnetic induction – a well-known principle used to heat large industrial furnaces, special machines for injection molding molten metal, thermoset molds and some Japanese hot-runner nozzles. However, it is a new concept for heating barrels of extruders. The system, introduced by Bausano, turns the steel barrel itself into a resistanc...

Post Industrial Waste, The Process

How all post-industrial and post-consumer waste materials can be re-processed through the extrusion process

Today, all post-industrial and post-consumer waste materials can be re-processed through the extrusion process. Plastic waste from industrial production is becoming more and more valuable in times of rising raw material prices and increasing environmental pollution. We believe that becoming more sustainable is an inevitable path for the plastics industry. Some critical i...

HDPE advantages and disadvantages

Which is stronger, PVC or Polyethylene?

There are continuous debates as to which pipe is the best to work with for each type of project. Here, we provide an impartial comparison of the pros and cons of HDPE versus PVC pipe. HDPE pipe has been the material of choice for trenchless installation practices almost since the technology first appeared in the mid-to-late 1960s.
