Group Profile 1. 18
Production facilities
• 3 production areas (100.000 sq. mts total area):
– Mechanical and electrical machine/line assembling hall
– Specialized factory for screw, barrel and flat die manufacturing
– R&D department with wet test dedicated area
• Extensive use of CNC-controlled machine tools to produce
extruder screws and barrels and dies
• Large availability of big size blown film die manufacturing
• Today’s large industrial complex was born of a man who
passionaly built his first machine with his own hands.
This craftsman’s spirit has lived on through the years and is
reflected in the creative innovation of the actual projects
• One characteristic of Bandera is that all the main mechanical
parts are entirely designed and manufactured inside the
Group. More particularly, we produce our own extruder screws,
barrels and die-heads. Also the downstream equipment, with a
few exceptions, is designed and built in-house
Group Profile 1. 19
Plans for a new R&D and wet test trials facility
A dedicated new plant
will be finished soon
in early 2013 to
accommodate R&D
industrial tests and
to execute complete
line wet trials
Group Profile 1. 20
Design and manufacturing in house
• Precise machining of complex and often large-size
pieces of machinery
• Manufacturing large-bore, long extruder barrels
• A section of the technical department is entirely devoted to
designing and manufacturing dies, screws and barrels
• Besides embodying advanced technology, they are often
designed on specific request of the thermoplastic
material to be processed
• In-house manufacturing facility for these parts ensures
perfect quality as well as the prompt supply of spares,
including those for non-standard or machines which
are no longer manufactured
• Development staff with in-depth knowledge of rheology
• Extensive use of computer-aided design system is
made throughout, for research, simulation and drafting
especially for screw and large blown film dies

Simple to learn and easy to use.
Group Profile 1. 25
Complete extrusion lines for foil and sheets
• Bandera designs and manufactures complete extrusion lines for the production of
mono and multi layer foils mainly for food packaging industry and for the
production of high thickness sheets for the industrial thermoforming application
for the following applications:
– Winding foils of 120 microns with thickness up to 2 mm in HIPS, PP, CRPS, A/CPET
and PETG (both compact and expanded materials), PLA, for application in the out-
and-in-line rigid thermoformed food packaging sector
– Thin sheets in PP and PET (generally embossed) for the paper industry; medium
thickness sheets in PS and ABS/ABS-PMMA for the sector of electric household
appliances production
– Technical sheets in HDPE, PP, HMWPE, PC
mixed ABS and in mixed materials (including
thermoplastic resins and inhomogeneous
industrial waste) for the sector of
automobile components and
deep thermoforming
– Flexible sheets for waterproofing
systems (geomembrane multilayer
in PP/PE) also with inner reinforcement in fiber or fabric, etc.
Group Profile 1. 26
Complete extrusion lines for foil and sheets
• Bandera is a world leader in supplying the technology for the direct dryerless extrusion
of PET SHEETS using a patented extrusion system with a co-rotating twin screw extruder
equipped with an intense venting system
• Moreover, Bandera has developed innovative technology for the following processes:
– In line mass adding of master batches, fillers and reacting agents to direct noble the
sheet during extrusion process (co-rotating twin screw extruders combined with loss
in weight dosing units)
– High speed multiweb complete automatic winders for thermoformable sheets
Group Profile 1. 27
Side product lines
• Still providing extruders for different applications (single screw, twin screw –
counter and co-rotating – large sizes, in cascade configuration, special designed for
solid and new expanded materials) remains one of the most profitable business
• Bandera produces at its own manufacturing facilities, both extruders and screws and
barrels for individual extrusion groups (single-screw, as
well as co-rotating and counter-rotating twin-screw units)
and extrusion die heads (for blown film and pipes)
