Laboratory Lines for Flat Films
and Sheets

For webs between 160 and 600 mm width
Output achievements from 0.1 to 200 kg/h per extruder

Development of Films and Sheets

Our Laboratory Extrusions Lines create optimal conditions for the development of new film products.

 

The investment in a Laboratory Line results in great savings on costs for developments, decreases the material consumption and considerably reduces the time requirements due to short reaction time. 

 

esde Laboratory Lines are designed for product development, material samplings and small batch production of flat films and sheets.  The conversion to small batch production is easy and very economical. Our customers are research institutions, universities, film manufacturers and chemical companies.

 

At a glance

  • esde Laboratory Lines are small versions of our large production lines
  • Lab scale extrusion of various material formulations in different sizes to one-layer or multi-layer flat films and sheets.
  •  individually and economically be adapted to every task

Advantages of esde Laboratory Lines

Small scale Extrusion

With our Laboratory Extrusion Lines you can produce with a low output flat film and sheets of small widths. 

 

Film products in a great variety

Fast material changes are possible. The processing unit gets adapted to the range of thermoplastic materials, that shall be extruded. the Laboratory Lines can be adjusted to several film widths and thicknesses.

 

Economic Laboratory Operation

Due to the robust and solid construction our laboratory Lines are designed for continuous operation (24/7). 

 

Reliable Scale-up

esde Laboratory Lines ensure a precise Scale-up to high performance Extrusion Lines.

Usability 

The handling of our film lines during operation and maintenance is thought out and optimized. The user Interface of our lines is structured clearly and user friendly. We use comfortable Touch-Screens with Profinet and OPC UA interface.

 

Our service gets to you

No matter where you want to operate our film lines we stand by your side. Our highly trained staff will visit you for assembly and comissioning of your film line, and will instruct your personnell on how to operate it. If the control units have to be adjusted this can be done via remote maintenance.

 

esde – Made in Germany

Our customers appreciate the value of first-class quality and extreme longevity of the esde extruders and extrusion lines. They are designed and build at our site in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. The investment in a high-quality esde Extrusion Line pays for itself in a short time through considerable savings in energy costs, working time and raw materials.
