Extrusion lines for WPC granules

Bausano produces systems for the manufacture of WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) granules, which in turn can be transformed in ﬁnished product through molding or extrusion, with Bausano Twin or Single Screw Extruders. The granulation lines, specifically designed to ensure maximum performance at any production speed, also enable the use of recycling materials. From WPC granules one of the end products possible to extrude with Bausano Extruders are WPC profiles.

Bausano builds extrusion lines suitable for the production of WPC granules with high-quality mechanical features, starting from renewable raw materials selected for environmental protection. These lines are fully customisable and highly efficient at any production output, thanks to the innovative MD Twin Screw extruders of the Twin screw MD Series and the wide range of modular accessories. Ease of use and time saving for maintenance and cleaning are always our goals during the study and design of our granulation lines.

Features

Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) represents an innovative solution in the field of composite materials, combining the benefits of both wood and plastic. Through the extrusion process of WPC granules, this material offers a range of distinctive features that make it ideal for various applications.

Versatile, can be processed like wood
Resistant to corrosion, weather and UV radiation
Termite-resistant
Cheaper than wood
Aesthetic appeal equal to wood, also in ﬁnishings
Does not require large-scale maintenance or special treatments for laying
Excellent thermal insulator
Flame retardant

Raw Material

The term WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) indicates an entire family of products (proﬁles, boards and granules) speciﬁcally produced with a mixture of polymers (PVC, PE, PLA or PP) and vegetable components (wood dust, but also rice husks, almond shells, etc.) Cheap, resistant and versatile, WPC represents a new frontier in the ﬁeld of building and industrial materials, with a variety of applications.

COMPOSITION

VEGETABLE COMPONENTS: wood dust, rice husk, vegetable waste and natural ﬁbre in general.
SYNTHETIC COMPONENTS: PVC, PE, PP, PLA.

100% Recyclable

Composed of waste from other processes such as renewable raw materials and recovered polymers, POLYWOOD is one of the few environmentally friendly materials with negligible environmental impact. Unlike mineral rubble, requiring an expensive disposal process, WPC is fully recyclable and can be retransformed in a new product at low cost.
After use, WPC can be recycled, extruded and converted into a new product. Not only wood dust then, but also avocado stones, rice husks, almond shells, cork and other vegetable scraps which, when mixed with polymers such as PVC and PE, become composite wood, or WPC.
