Promix Microcell Technology
Easy to retrofit into your extrusion line!
Microcell foam extrusion systems from Promix are used for a wide variety of applications and for almost all polymers. Thanks to the production of very homogeneous microcellular foam structures, high-quality foam products with very low densities and excellent mechanical properties can be produced.
Microcell Foam Extrusion from Promix – Outstanding physical foaming solutions
Physical foaming can significantly reduce material costs in many extrusion applications. Foam extrusion systems from Promix set standards in the production of microcellular foam products with a very homogeneous cell structure and high process consistency.
Unique key components and extensive process knowledge form the basis. The systems operate with the environmentally friendly blowing fluids CO2 and N2 and are very easy to integrate into existing or new extrusion lines. Depending on the application, density reductions of 5% to over 70% can be achieved.

Concept Promix Microcell Foam Extrusion
Promix Microcell foam extrusion systems are integrated into the extrusion line and consist of components for blowing fluid metering, homogenization and melt cooling. The blowing fluid is metered in a controlled manner by a high-precision Promix gas dosing unit specifically designed for physical foaming. Highly efficient patented static and dynamic mixing systems ensure optimum mixing of the blowing agent in short process lengths.
The unique P1 cooling mixer technology and special Procell nucleation additives are further key components for producing very fine-cell foam products with extremely uniform cell distribution. The optimum solution is worked out by our experts on a project-specific basis and depending on the application, the extruder configuration, and the desired properties of the foam.
Applications
Microcell foam extrusion systems from Promix are used for a wide range of extrusion applications and for almost all polymers, and for systems with a capacity of 5 kg/h to over 2000 kg/h.
