Backed by its know-how in the polymer transformation field, Clextral is developing new application fields for the twin screw extrusion technology : the development of non-food products from agro-resources.
Today, Clextral twin screw extruders are used for a whole new range of applications related to the transformation of agro-resources, which integrate perfectly in the new sustainable development background trend in the search for simple, low-cost technological solutions.
The applications are :
• Biodegradable materials (link to the corresponding page to be made)
• Chemical molecules synthesis (link to the corresponding page - reactive extrusion to be made)
• Natural fibre reinforced composite materials, also called agro-materials or biomaterials (link to the corresponding page to be made)
• Biomass pre-treatment, notably in view of its energetic valorisation (link to the corresponding page - reactive extrusion to be made)
Clextral twin screw extruders : the solution for your innovations
In fact, Clextral is the only supplier in the world capable of providing twin screw extrusion solutions for these three markets. This "cross fertilisation" is allowing engineers and technicians to constantly develop the company offer from both a technical and technological viewpoint.
Clextral already has recognised expertise in the chemical/plastics technology fields, and more specifically in the production technology of technical compounds. In parallel, the company has know-how in the implementing of natural fibres in twin screw extrusion. Finally, food biopolymers remain at the core of the Clextral business. In these three fields of activity, Clextral has been supplying industrial systems for over 40 years.
To handle innovation in these new applications, Clextral started a multi-year R&D programme on the thematic "agro matériaux" in co-development with private or public partners equipped with pilot and laboratory twin screw extruders. (link to the innovation page)
