Costruzioni Meccaniche Luigi Bandera S.p.A.

SmartFlex® – Blown Film lines, characterized by a competitive investment level, maximized flexibility for different applications/recipes, power consumption reduction, functional and compact layout featuring frames modularity
SmartFlex® pursues:
• Quality
• Flexibility
• Reliability
• Low power consumption
• Low environmental impact

The achieved cost savings comes from series production, all general costs are split into a large number of lines thus generating an economy of scale at procurement stage.

BarrierFlex® – Blown Film lines for the production of barrier and high-barrier film with symmetrical and asymmetrical film structures (7, 9 and 11 layers)
Coextrusion lines of this series are intended for customers manufacturing top-notch high-barrier technical film for food, medical, pharmaceutical and several mechanical (e.g. automotive) applications.
The films produced with BarrierFlex® have a double and triple barrier, respectively, with an EVOH central layer combined with PA middle layers, thus offering a high performing barrier against gases and water vapour.
Additionally, Bandera offers extrusion lines capable of ensuring minimized curling effect in case of asymmetric film structures.

Techno FLEX® – Blown Film lines for the production of top performance high-tech multi-layer film (3 and 5 layers)
Undoubtedly, film coextrusion represents the most consolidated technology for the production of advanced multipurpose packaging solutions.
The standard configuration comprises a central high-capacity extruder, arranged with smaller extruders intended for the outer layers. Techno FLEX® lines are fully accessorized getting top quality high-tech film through upgraded components. Among them it is worth mentioning the top range winder ESR-9000 series, which allows 3 winding methods: contact, axial and gap
Rely on strong customisation, Bandera extrusion lines are characterized by production need orientation, top versatility and safety, combined with minimized power consumption.
5-layer configuration (Techno FLEXPO5) is perfect for customers looking for high production to process PE film, allowing them to get technical film with outstanding top quality mechanical properties.
The Techno FLEX® Plus series production range is definitely wide, and comprises, among others:
• Film used in top performing converting and printing lines
• Film with specific characteristic intended for industrial applications

Initial focusing on offering extrusion lines pursuing excellent mechanical characteristics, weldability, processability and printability, today the market trends require minimized film thickness aimed at maximizing product capacity up to 450 kg/h (based on HDB size).
Bandera has taken on this new challenge finding out specific solutions to meet its customers’ individual needs, thus confirming – once again – its outstanding strong customer satisfaction orientation.
Specifically, innovative solutions have been applied in each and every extrusion line section. The most outstanding ones are:

Triple-flow cooling ring, which offers a strongly enhanced production capacity when combined with Bandera design extrusion heads
Specific haul-off units with cutting-edge film cooling system for a better creaseless film surface – a solution setting the pace in innovation in HDB Film field
Integrated thickness control
Fully-automated winding station, either by contact or by axial winding

The top level PET technology available in the worldwide market, developed in the last 20 years thanks to the proactive teamwork between Bandera Technical Dept. and its final customers.
