EnglishWhat types of extrusion lines and machines does AGRIPAK offer?
Updated
AGRIPAK is an Italian engineering and manufacturing company that designs and builds extrusion and thermoforming equipment, and its product range splits into three extrusion line families plus a set of downstream machines. The extrusion lines cover hollow-profile sheet, foil and sheet, and spinning (monofilament/rafia/strapping tape); the machine side covers sealing and cutting of hollow-profile sheet, sealing of inter-layer pads, and thermoforming. If you are evaluating AGRIPAK as a supplier, the deciding factor is usually which of these three material streams matches your end product, since each line is configured around a different die and downstream process.
Extrusion lines
Hollow profile sheet
AGRIPAK's first-quality hollow-profile sheet is produced by extrusion through a T-die head fitted with an interchangeable spinneret/die. The interchangeable die is the practical detail worth noting: it lets the same line run different profile geometries by swapping the die rather than rebuilding the head.
Foil and sheet
These lines are built to process foil and sheet starting from granules, and they can also be configured with a CBA (chemical blowing agent) combination. AGRIPAK states the output can feed thermoforming, so this line family is the one to look at if your process continues into a forming step rather than ending at the roll or sheet.
Spinning: monofilament, rafia, strapping tape
AGRIPAK traces its know-how in this area back to the early 1960s and describes continued research and innovation in monofilament, rafia, and strapping tape extrusion. This is the line family to consider if your product is a tape or filament rather than a sheet.
Machines
| Machine type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Hollow profile seal & cut | Produces sealed hollow-profile-sheet boxes; AGRIPAK describes the result as 100% hygienic, higher resistance and stability, with -40% box weight and box cost reduction, and fully reusable |
| Inter-layer pad sealing | Seals flute inter-layer pads to what AGRIPAK describes as high quality sealing standards |
| Thermoforming | Built to suit production needs with attention to cost-quality ratio and ease of operation |
The seal-and-cut machine is the clearest example of AGRIPAK positioning a machine around circular economy requirements: the sealed hollow-profile-sheet box is presented as completely reusable, which is the claim to verify against your own packaging and hygiene requirements.
How to choose between them
- Your output is a hollow-profile sheet or a box made from it → hollow profile sheet extrusion line, plus the seal & cut machine if you need the finished box.
- Your output is foil or sheet, especially if it goes into thermoforming → foil & sheet extrusion line, optionally with CBA, plus a thermoforming machine.
- Your output is monofilament, rafia, or strapping tape → spinning extrusion line.
- You need inter-layer pads → inter-layer pad sealing machine.
Scale and support context
AGRIPAK reports 2,188 world installations, comprising 900 extrusion lines, 692 thermoforming machines, and 596 converting machines, and says it has been active in plastics since 1953. Customer satisfaction is monitored 24/7 through a qualified remote line service, which matters if you are buying from outside Italy and want to know how line issues get diagnosed.
The site does not publish pricing, lead times, or line specifications such as output rates or screw diameters, so those have to come from a direct enquiry. The most useful next step is to identify which of the three extrusion families matches your product, then ask AGRIPAK for the configuration and commercial terms for that line.
