The Engineering Department of the University of Pisa in Italy has chosen Italian equipment provider AMUT as a partner on four research projects dealing with the study of plastic materials processing.
AMUT says the aim of the collaboration is to develop and test new polymers with eco-friendly characteristics, produced by renewable sources, recycled materials and biodegradable and compostable materials.
The company reports that it will contribute its experience in plastics extrusion plants, its own laboratory and some prototyped equipment which the company has designed for this purpose.
Equipment to be supplied includes the company’s EBC 25HT corotating twin screw extruder to produce rolls of foils necessary for the project.
AMUT technicians will support the students in the development of the projects though all the steps, teaching them how to run the machines, sharing know-how and competences and data processing and analysis to complete the research.
