Icma San Giorgio, the well-known Milan based manufacturer of compounding and extrusion systems, has just successfully put in production a complex engineered compounding plant to a large processor of biodegradable products, specifically shopping bags or agricultural mulch.<\/strong><\/p>\n The scope of the project was the realisation of a turnkey line designed to produce, starting from biomaterials available on the market and feedstock of natural origin, a biodegradable compound suitable for the application and with a competitive price.<\/p>\n The plant was designed and delivered as a “turn-key” project, from the loading systems of the different components to the packing of the final product.<\/p>\n The loss-in-weight gravimetric feeding system has been engineered for several components, inclusive of proper units for hard flowing powder metering and pre-heated liquids.<\/p>\n The ICMA co-rotating extruder is a 112 mm screw diameter, equipped with a side feeding unit, hot liquid injection nozzle and vent stuffer to achieve 1.5 tons\/h capacity.<\/p>\n The screw \u00a0combines high-performance mixing with low energy intake and is specifically tuned for such heat sensitive materials. The cutting unit selected is an under-water system, allowing a really consistent and accurate quality and a fully automated production.<\/p>\n Pre-storage silos complete the line with a gentle mixing system as well as a packaging system into big-bags. Finally, an advanced control panel integrates all systems and it releases complete production reports available through company ERP \/ MES network even from remote channels via dedicated line expressly created by ICMA for remote assistance.<\/p>\n \u201cBiopolymer compounding is one of the new and most interesting frontier of the circular economy. ICMA enjoys several years of successful experience in this process application and therefor represents a very interesting supplier for companies already active in this market space or companies eager to enter it,\u201d commented Giorgio Colombo, CEO of ICMA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Icma San Giorgio, the well-known Milan based manufacturer of compounding and extrusion systems, has just successfully put in production a complex engineered compounding plant to a large processor of biodegradable products, specifically shopping bags or agricultural mulch.
