Optimisation and rationalisation of development and production processes were the mainspring of the construction of our new Bühl factory. As manufacturer of application-specific technical plastic-based compounds, we produce predominantly small batches of between 2,000 and 4,000 kg, frequently requiring a change of formula – up to 12 time a day. Our new, highly modern production facilities are precision-geared to the demands of our wide and, in part highly specialised product spectrum: A good plant self-cleaning system considerably reduces cleaning outlay in view of the frequent product changes, thus assuring through-going production efficiency.
Material bottlenecks are avoided by high plant availability in the feeding of extrusion lines. guarantees high formula and colour trueness, priorities we rate highly for all our compounds. High torque compounding extruders assure the perfect quality of products, upstream gravimetrical dosing
First and foremost, however, our aim is to achieve process reliability and flexibility in the future: the universal technology of our plant equipment can be extended modularly to accommodate all future innovations by Bada AG.
Our Colour Lab: Premium-quality colour measurement and assessment
The backbone of our entrepreneurial spirit, innovative power and flexibility, are particularly evident in the colour measurement and assessment of our compounds: in our state-of-the-art colour lab:
- Two laboratory and development extruders, for new developments and color adjustments
- 1 homogenizing silo with a capacity of 5t for optimum color consistency of the finished products
- 8 injection molding machines for production control and manufacture of all types of test specimens
- 1 small extrusion line for the production and additional quality control of flat films
Here, state-of-the-art technology combines with precision and the experience of our employees in innovative processes that produce outstanding colour results.
One of our specialties is the colouring of plastics.
One of our key strengths is the colouration of plastics. Calling upon many years of know-how, we can create every nuance the customer wishes in our state-of-the-art equipped laboratory. Innovative processes allow us to dispense entirely with standard colours or ready-made pigment mixtures. Instead, we compose each shade from individual colour components thus achieving a high degree of flexibility in colour adjustment: we even guarantee absolute colour fidelity for compounds that contain colour-modifying components, e.g. fire retardant agents, fibre glass or modifiers. This also allows us to react to even tiniest influences, such as the inherent variations of various raw materials and assure exceptional colour consistency both within and between the various batches.
