Nowadays plastic profile extrusion is one of the most dynamic and cutting-edge fields in polymer processing. This production system represents a field of research and development that combines material engineering, digital technologies and environmental sustainability. VBN stands out for its innovative and customization-oriented approach, offering tailor-made solutions for every business need that reshape the possibilities of industrial design and production.
Ambitious ideas, tailor-made profiles
By combining advanced skills and cutting-edge technologies, VBN can shape the most ambitious challenges into high-performance plastic profiles. Each project is born from a process of continuous innovation, where quality plastic materials meet bespoke design to create reliable, durable and high-performance products.
Sizes, shapes and materials of extruded plastic items are designed with the utmost attention to detail, adapting precisely to specific customer requirements. VBN can optimize every single side of the product to achieve the best possible end result, both in terms of functionality and aesthetics.
Endless possibilities in the extrusion of plastic profiles
At the heart of VBN’s production are 50 extruders, each of which featuring specific technical characteristics and special configurations. This technological equipment offers a virtually unlimited range of possibilities, demonstrating a truly extraordinary level of flexibility and versatility in the plastics processing sector. The large production capacity allows to develop mono-extruded profiles, with weights ranging from a few grams to nearly 8 kilograms per meter, and co-extruded profiles, in which plastic materials of different stiffness are combined in a single extrusion.
This level of technological customization allows VBN to provide unique products capable of meeting the most complex challenges and adapting perfectly to each customer’s design and functional requirements.
Extrusion and co-extrusion
Extrusion is a technique consisting in pushing a plastic material through a mold (the so called die) to produce a continuous product with a defined shape, such as tubes and profiles with different cross sections. This process forms the basis for the production of many everyday items, from building components to food packaging.
Co-extrusion represents an evolution of traditional extrusion. Several plastic materials are extruded simultaneously through a common die, forming a single product. This technique allows different properties, such as mechanical strength, thermal insulation or moisture resistance, to be combined into a single extrusion. This particular processing allows profiles to be created with a rigid core and soft surface or conversely with a soft core and rigid surface.
Thanks to these extrusion technologies, VBN is able to meet even the most complex requirements, ensuring precision and high performance at every stage of the production process.
Innovative plastic materials
Choosing the ideal plastic material is essential to achieving a high-quality extruded profile. VBN provides expert advice to identify the most suitable polymer for specific project requirements. With in-depth knowledge of raw materials and processing techniques, VBN can identify the most suitable material based on strength and resistance, temperature of use, aesthetic result, and cost of production. Knowledge of materials and technical expertise also enable the development of customized plastic blends, specifically fine-tuned to meet the needs of particular projects with tailor-made solutions.
Reliability and innovation: the values of VBN
From initial concept to final production, VBN is committed to offering not only superior products, but also full support to ensure reliability and durability. For more than 65 years, VBN has been providing expert advice in the creation of custom plastic profiles. Our long experience and in-depth knowledge of plastics allows us to create unique products that meet even the most complex requirements. Thanks to a team of experts and cutting-edge technologies, high-quality, customized solutions can be developed for each project.
