Traflex shapes your ideas

Design and Manufacturing of Extruded and Molded Parts in Thermoplastic Materials

Manufacturing

We take advantage of the versatility of thermoplastic materials from the simple mono-extruded product to complex co-extruded profiles.

Quality

The quality procedures, certified ISO 9001 , guarantee all aspects of the product life cycle, from design to shipping.

Efficiency

We guarantee production at full capacity, on time delivery and in budget results.

Technical Experience and Production’s Solutions with Innovative and High
Performance Materials

"Green" products

Our “green” products are made with raw materials coming from sustainable sources, such as biological materials, mechanical recycling processes and/or recycled raw materials. These kind of raw materials guarantee mechanical and phisical properties of high quality, as they are certified according to international standards (ASTM, EN, ISO).

“Recycled” materials

Our recycled raw materials come from mechanical recycling or regeneration processes, using both industrial waste and materials coming from civil recycling (pre and post usage). These materials are obtained through mechanical grinding, fusion, filtration, stabilization and regranulation.

“Biobase” materials

The Biobase materials used by Traflex are obtained by industrial chemical processes, using components of biological origin such as oils and emulsions. We can distinguish two typologies of Biobase material:

  • Biobase Attribuito: obtained by first production vegetables oils in substitution (partial or total) of the traditional fossil sources
  • Biobase-Circular Attribuito: obtained by waste vegetables oils from agry-food industry in substitution, partial or total, of the traditional fossil sources

Thermoplastic Extrusion

We make extruded, coextruded articles (up to three materials), level slabs and pressed details. We extrude by using different thermoplastic materials, such as: rigid PVC, plasticized PVC, rigid and plasticized expanded PVC, filled PELD, PEHD, PP, PP, shockproof PC, ABS, PST, PSTAU, PMMA, PMMA, PA6, PA12, PA66, thermoplastic rubbers and WPC. Our production aims to optimize the customer plans, through several agreements and researches, from the prototypes realization to their mass-production, through specific tests and according to the arranged terms and stocks. The kind of production is one of the most various and singular.

It covers both the simplest lines and the pieces with different and sophisticated finishes: wood, metal, glass, a wide range of colouring and different sections of extrusion. Made according to the suitable amount, the products are delivered packed and assembled, as requested.

By giving its products, Traflex shares its experience with its customers, so that the quality of its production represents the signature for every product.

Design Technologies

The constant innovation has developed our technology as improvement able to meet the thermoplastic market requirements. Therefore our design/consultancy, supported by the most advanced instruments, joins the entrepreneurship of our customers in order to offer a successful product that has been shared by different professional competence.

Our technical staff, which includes qualified and experienced technical designer, through the most advanced CAD/CAM 3D (VISI) devices and 3D printer, handles the design and operative definition of details and related prototypes, it manages also the production equipments such as punching machines, notching machines, bi-adhesive sticker machines and equipments for in-line manufacturing.

Our stamp shop makes use of CNC machines (lathe, CNC cutter, CNC grinding, electro discharge machining CNC, both Die-sink EDM and Wire-cut EDM) for the realization of the production equipments and the auxiliary machines for the equipments interlocking.

Production Technologies

We constantly update our fleet, that includes single-screw and twin-screw plants with diameters ranging from 15 to 105 mm and productions ranging from 1 Kg/h to 400 Kg/h, according to the plant, to the kind of product and the material used. Our injection moulding presses are able to press all the thermoplastic materials.

We are able to do mechanical working both in-line and out-line (recovery processes), soldering at variable angle, with the chance of assembly and packing also particulars given by our customers, within our assembly department.

Our extruded articles, in a wide range of plastic materials, are produced by engines specifically chosen and made, according to a evolved method, that has been achieved through research, experience and improvement, constantly followed in our company, in order to get a guaranteed and successful product, even in the special and personalized finishes.
