Applications
Materials PLATEX processes
Planetary roller extrusion is the preferred technology for heat-sensitive polymers, high filler loadings and materials requiring vacuum degassing. Below are the principal application areas — each has detailed guidance on why the planetary roller approach is appropriate.
Bioplastic Compounding
Bioplastic compounding on PLATEX planetary roller extruders — low shear for PLA, PHA, PBAT. Precise temperature control. ISO 9001:2015.
Learn more Carrier resinColor Masterbatch
Colour masterbatch production on PLATEX planetary roller extruders — rapid colour change, high pigment dispersion. PE, PP, PVC carrier.
Learn more LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE carrier resinPE+CaCO3 Compounding
PE CaCO3 filler masterbatch on PLATEX planetary roller extruders — up to 80% CaCO3, uniform dispersion. LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE carriers.
Learn more Post-consumer PVCPlastic Recycling
Plastic recycling on PLATEX planetary roller extruders — vacuum degassing handles PCR contamination. PVC, mixed scrap. ISO 9001:2015.
Learn more Rigid PVC resinRigid PVC Compounding
