Bandera Agri FutureFilm® – Multilayer Agricultural Film Extrusion Lines
Bandera Agri FutureFilm® comprises high-performance multilayer blown film extrusion lines developed for greenhouse covering films and other agricultural film applications.
Bandera's current Agri FutureFilm® solutions highlight 5- and 7-layer coextrusion lines. The multilayer structure enables more controlled management of the distribution of different raw materials and additives within the film, while helping optimize the film's physical and mechanical properties, as well as characteristics such as light and heat transmission, according to the application.
5- and 7-Layer Agri FutureFilm® Technology
Assigning different functions to different layers in agricultural films allows product performance to be optimized according to the application.
The 5- and 7-layer coextrusion structures used in Bandera Agri FutureFilm® lines enable controlled management of the distribution of raw materials and additives within the layers.
This multilayer structure enables:
- Improved physical film properties,
- Optimized mechanical properties,
- More effective distribution of additives,
- Application-specific management of light and heat transmission.
These improvements can help extend the film's service life.
Flexible Production of Agricultural Films
Agricultural film production largely serves a seasonal market. The ability to adapt a production line to different products, rather than using it only during specific periods, is therefore a significant advantage.
Using the same coextrusion head and with minimal setup times, Bandera Agri FutureFilm® lines can be adapted to produce not only agricultural films but also thicker films, such as geomembranes used for waterproofing.
This feature allows manufacturers to use their lines for different product groups during the off-season.
Wide Range of Applications
Bandera Agri FutureFilm® technology can be configured for various agricultural film applications.
Greenhouse Covering Films
For covering films used in greenhouse applications, the multilayer structure can be designed according to the product's target physical, mechanical and optical properties.
Low Walk-In Tunnel Films
It offers suitable line solutions for the production of agricultural films used in low tunnel applications.
Mulch Films
It can be used to produce mulch films for covering the soil surface.
Silo Bag Films
It offers solutions for the production of silo bag films used to preserve silage and agricultural products.
Silo Stretch Films
It can be configured for the production of stretch films used in silage applications.
Solar Sterilization Films
It can be used to produce films for soil sterilization applications that utilize solar energy.
Combining Agricultural Film and Geomembrane Production on the Same Line
One of the key advantages of Agri FutureFilm® technology is that the line is not limited to agricultural film production.
Using the same coextrusion head and with reduced setup times, production can switch to thicker films and geomembranes used for waterproofing, depending on production requirements.
This configuration can help businesses use the line for different product groups throughout the year, particularly where agricultural film production is seasonal.
