AMUT and University of Pisa to work on research projects

The University of Pisa, Engineering Department, has chosen AMUT as partner to cooperate on four research projects sponsored by the European Community. The projects specifically deal with the study of plastic materials processing, as well as to test and develop new polymers with particular eco-friendly  characteristics.

AMUT shares with the students’ team, led by Prof. Andrea Lazzeri, its wide experience in the manufacturing of plants to extrude plastics, its own laboratory and some prototyped equipment which AMUT has properly designed for the purpose.

ORQUA,  a  flat  die  with  nominal  width  of  350  mm,  AKI350/S,  a  sloped  calender  equipped  with three rolls of diameter 200 mm each and pneumatic closing, a corotating twin screw extruder EBC 25HT,  4560  Mini  Bench  Top  Reactor  Series,  plus  a  winding  station,  to  produce  rolls  of  foil necessary to suit the physical-mechanical laboratory tests.  

The staff of AMUT technicians will support the students in the development of the projects though all the steps, teaching how to run the machines, sharing know how and competences, up to the data processing and analysis to complete the research.
