General information

Short Summary
A belgian SME specialized in diverse granulation processes for compounds, elastomers, vulcanized rubber, and composites. The company offers tailored trials for various materials, emphasizing quality through meticulous analyses like density, flexion, compression, MDR, Shore D hardness, and laboratory mill testing, also in preparing, mixing, and sorting recycled materials for consistent, sustainable results.
Full Description
They haver a diverse range of granulation processes tailored to meet the unique needs of various materials. Whether you're working with compounds, elastomers, vulcanized rubber, composites, or other materials, the expertise and state-of-the-art facilities enable them to provide top-notch granulation services. However, the scope of capabilities extends far beyond a mere list of materials.

Comprehensive Granulation Processes: advanced granulation processes are designed to transform raw materials into finely granulated products with precision and efficiency. Whether seeking to enhance the flowability of compounds, improve the processing characteristics of elastomers, or break down vulcanized rubber into manageable particles, their granulation methods are versatile and effective.

Innovative Composite Granulation: For composites with unique compositions, they employ specialized techniques to ensure a uniform and high-quality granulated product. To adapt granulation processes to the specific requirements of composite materials, contributing to enhanced performance and functionality.

Tailored Trials for Materials: Understanding that each material comes with its own set of challenges and characteristics

Quality Assurance through Material Analysis: Ensuring the consistency and quality of granulated products is paramount. To achieve this, rigorous material quality analyses, including but not limited to density measurements, flexion and compression testing, Mooney viscometry (MDR), Shore D hardness assessments, and laboratory mill evaluations. These analyses provide valuable insights into the physical and mechanical properties of the granulated materials, allowing to maintain the highest standards throughout the production process.

Recycled Materials with a Focus on Sustainability: preparing, mixing, and sorting recycled materials. the goal is to contribute to a circular economy by repurposing materials in a manner that not only ensures consistent quality but also reduces the environmental impact of waste.

They combine expertise, innovation, and a dedication to quality to deliver granulated materials that meet and exceed your expectations.
