MASTERBATCH &
COMPOUND MACHINERY
Torninova Corporation has a strong history of
innovation and development of technologically
advanced solutions modelled on customer
needs; the twin-screw corotating extruder, like
all Torninova Corp. installations, is based on an
attentive and specific design and guarantees
reliability, user-friendliness, low maintenance
costs, high performance rates and energy
saving. The Torninova Corp. range includes:
A) Extrusion line for colored masterbatches,
for additives and multifunctional types.
B) Extrusion line for compounds of
technopolymers and polymeric alloys.
The Torninova Corp. installations are completed
by all accessories and components necessary to
carry out the compound and masterbatches production, such as the degassing groups, the side
feeders of polymer mixes or additive charges
and the dosing units for the additives and the
pigment powders.
16
COROTATING TWIN-SCREW EXTRUDERS
The Torninova Corp. twin-screw corotating
extruders offer advanced and versatile solutions
for the production of tecnopolymer compounds,
polymeric alloys and colored masterbatches, for
additives and multifunctional types.
Screws
The screws are entirely modular according to
the needs and the work type; the geometric
configuration of the screw is featured with selfcleaning elements mounted on splined shafts
even HT (high torque).
All components of the Torninova Corp. extruders
are treated in every design and technological
detail to increase their efficiency and durability,
enabling an immediate major benefit in terms of
energy savings.
The modular elements used for the geometric
composition of the screw, either used for
transport, kneading blocks, mixing or special,
are bilobed or trilobed mounted along with the
bilobes and can be realized with high OD/ID
ratio.
The Torninova Corp. corotating twin screw
extruders have screw diameters available from
30 mm to 92 mm and process lengths reaching
up to 42D. Larger diameters are also achievable
on request.
The screw’s geometry
The screw’s geometry is designed to blend and
uniform the compound or masterbatch viscosity
in order to reduce the thermal and mechanical
stress which may deteriorate the product quality, but also to ensure a maximum dispersion
and distribution of additives and pigments in
the polymeric matrix.
Cylinders
The cylinders are featured with modular
elements, providing the possibility to have an
internal insert in special steel or bi-metallic
alloys which increases its resistance to wear,
to abrasion and corrosion.
The rectangular shape of the cylinder elements
ensure that the temperature distribution inside
the chamber is constant and homogenous.
Cooling and thermo-regulation
The cooling system of the barrels composing
the extruder cylinder is specifically conceived
and designed by Torninova Corp. to achieve
a better control of the temperature on both
screws, along with a high energetic efficiency.
The integration of the cooling system of the
barrels with the double-intervention thermal
regulation and integration device guarantees
the same process temperature on both screws,
ensuring the optimization of the extrusion process, especially for those compounds that are
thermo-sensitive to the temperature.
Construction
The transmission group, composed of the
electric motor, the joint limiting the torque and
above all the gearbox, are highly-technological
components used by Torninova Corp. and
feature twin-screw extruders because they
guarantee a precise transmission and distribution of the power needed for the compounds
and masterbatches. The transmission group and
the extruder cylinder are fixed to a frame on a
thermo-welded base; the cylinder can be supported by two saddle supports (three for special
applications). The electric motor is an AC type,
with a high electric and mechanical efficiency,
but it is possible to use new technologies on
request as well (e.g. new motor-reducers).
The electric panel is fitted with a control unit
with MMI-interface and with the possibility to
connect the production data logger by means of
an Ethernet input.
Production process completely controlled
through a simple and user-friendly interface
with the possibility of remote assistance and
data logger through Internet or Ethernet.
The double intervention thermoregulation is
integrated in the main control system with a
preheating automatic system start production
and it permits to obtain ∆t of 1/ 2°C in
comparison to the desired set-point.
A solution with independent thermoregulators
is available as an alternative.

PERFECTLY INTEGRATED,
HIGHLY FLEXIBLE SYSTEM
Torninova Corporation brings to market the
very best in stretch film production technology
thanks to its thorough research and development in collaboration with Italian and American University professors, renowned European
manufacturers of extruder components and
experienced figures from the field of extruded
stretch film.
The SWIFTCOOL™ chill-roll unit’s dual cooling
rollers guarantee total material stabilisation.
A dual-chamber vacuum box with automatic
die adjustment and an integrated x-ray device
to measure material thickness (guaranteeing
accuracy even with coloured stretch film) offers
the finest and fastest control features for the
film extrusion process.
Some of our Client partners (Italian and
foreign) have also supported our research and
development phases by purchasing prototype
systems to scientifically test and continuously
monitor each single component and process.
Customers can choose from three different
winding systems:
During such tests, appropriate adjustments
were made in response to real time controls
under actual production conditions.
The result is a perfectly integrated system of
cutting edge components, calibrated and arranged into a compact, high performance cast line
that provides maximum flexibility with minimum
energy consumption.
Consider some hallmark components of the
COMPACT STRETCH™ system:
The LLPOWEREX™ extruder series with
screw profiles (AC motors and infrared heaters
ensure limited maintenance and low energy
consumption) have been specifically developed
to guarantee perfect LLDPE extrusion.
24
The fast and reliable QUICKSILVER-4S™
winder (rewind cycle time of 10 seconds)
directly rewinds stretch film into rolls on 2-inch
or 3-inch cores (suitable for hand and machine
use), in formats ranging from 100 mm to 250
mm, 450 mm and 500 mm.
The QUICKSTANDARD-2S™ winder is the
best solution for production of machine and
jumbo rolls up to a maximum diameter of 500
mm, on 3-inch cores.
The QUICKGOLD-4S™ is Torninova’s patented, universal, all-in-one evolution of hand and
machine roll winders. Maintaining the same
characteristics, it can also produce jumbo rolls
up to a maximum diameter of 420 mm. The winding cycle still remains extremely fast (around
15 seconds) without compromising the production of hand rolls, even at very high speed.
Optional roll handling features can be integrated into each winder to assure steady, highspeed cast stretch film production. For instance,
the automated packaging system packs hand
rolls in a 6-unit cardboard box.
Another component which sets the machine
apart from others is the FULLFEED™ trimming
system with a force-feed device specifically
designed for the type and quantity of trimming
required by a stretch film machine. A suction device completely recovers all chopped
trimmings for re-use by the main extruder line,
thus preventing variations in pressure and film
thickness even in the event of frequent changes
in production and operating speed.
The FULLFEED system eliminates potential nonuniformities in film thickness, including those in
longitudinal sections.
On request, instead of the flake re-feeding
system, it is possible to equip the COMPACT
STRETCH with a recycling machine that completely re-granulates edge and bleed trims.
INTEGRATED
SOLUTIONS
FAST
AND RELIABLE

AUTOMATED
SOLUTIONS
The new COMPACT STRETCH series is not a
simple combination of standard components
from various processes but, on the contrary, is a
well-developed, well-tested, made-to-measure
integrated system affording maximum simplicity
and flexibility in the production of high-quality
rolls of co-extruded cast stretch film.
Everyday, producers of stretch film have to face
the increasing cost of raw materials, labour and
energy. Producers thus find themselves in an
increasingly competitive market in which prices
are constantly driven down.
All machines are equipped with a PLC-managed
control system which runs touch-screen operated supervisory software for programming and
managing the entire system.
In these circumstances, profitable production
is only attainable with a system that guarantees elevated and continuous production, 24
hours a day. Torninova Corp. has focused all
of its attention on this aspect, developing and
designing affordable systems for high-output
production. The result has been an increase in
sales and satisfied Clients in a very competitive
market.
The operator can use customized formulas to
manage production according to the required
percentage of co-extrusion and the needed
production speed.
Via Internet, the machine can be remotely
diagnosed to provide immediate customer
assistance.

PACKAGING SYSTEM
The genuine, completely automatic Quicksilver4S winder is the fastest stretch film turret winder capable of winding both hand and machine
roll formats (2 and 3-inch cores).
The patented Quickgold-4S winder is the most
advanced turret winder for cast stretch film
machines.
The automatic packaging system is the ultimate
downstream accessory for stretch film machines.
This single-module universal winder includes all
the characteristics of the Quicksilver-4S but is
capable of producing rolls of stretch film in all 3
possible formats: hand, machine and jumbo (2
and 3-inch cores).
With the addition of this packing station, any
stretch film machine can achieve fully automatic (no operator), “granules-to-box” production
of stretch film hand rolls.
The specially developed automatic system
for core loading and roll extraction ensures a
very short cycle time (10 seconds) and perfectquality film rolls. Very sophisticated electronic
controls and algorithms, customised mechanical
components and unique materials used on the
contact and satellite rolls, allow winding of very
thin film onto very thin cores-with flat edges
and no wrinkles or entrapped air.
This winder is suitable for widths of up to 3
meters and can be installed on any new or
existing stretch film machine another valueadded upgrade.
A precision scale also checks the production
weight of each roll. The result is high-output of
perfect, ready-for-sale rolls, even for the most
demanding markets.
The automatic procedure builds the cardboard
box, fills it with 6 finished rolls, and lastly, tapes
the package shut.
The closed box is then delivered to the end of
the line for stock handling. This system can
be implemented in any size machine and can
manage rolls coming from 2 or more lines
simultaneously.
This winder is suitable for widths of up to 3
meters and can be installed on any new or existing stretch film machine a truly value-added
upgrade.

HI-TECH AIR BUBBLE FILM
MACHINERY
Today Torninova Corporation is synonymous for
Hi-Tech bubble wrap machinery all around the
World.
For over 20 years Torninova Corp. has been engaging in the production of top-level equipment,
presenting state-of-the art technology applied
to air bubble film production lines: all of this
has been possible and realized thanks to the
Company’s constant engagement in finding
innovative, better performing and cost-saving
processes and solutions.
Torninova’s know-how is also based on the
willingness to listen to reccomendations and
suggestions provided by our clients, who have
been helping us to enhance and adapt every
single installation, making them suitable for
each project’s specific necessity and technical
requirements.
32
Completely focused on this specific line of
equipment, Torninova Corp. strives to take the
best possible advantage of market feedback
and requirements, updating its equipment to
comply with the newest regulations each of our
lines components are homogeneous and perfectly connected to their counterparts, resulting
in a perfectly integrated vanguard installation
for the production of air bubble film.
All machines are modular and for this reason
the whole Torninova Corp. system is easy to
upgrade, based on each Client’s specific needs,
and applicable on existing machines even if
supplied by other companies.
Amongst Torninova’s outstanding specialized
bubble foil production equipment the following
lines deserve mention for their very special
features:
The COEX BUBBLE (10)™, an authentic
masterpiece, represents the most advanced
available technology for the production of
high-performance air bubble film. In fact, the
special co-extrusion configuration allows
the production of a symmetrically structured
(ABCBA+ABCBA), multilayer air bubble film
containing an integrated air retention barrier
of Nylon-PA6 (layer C). The result is the production of an ultra-light bubble foil with enhanced
cushioning and protective properties, far superior to the same-weight mono-extruded bubble
wrap film. In practice, better results are ensured
with less material and this means an unbeatable competitive edge in the film market.
The AIR BASIC™ belongs to the family of
the off-line process plants, and is a patented
system based on the hot-air thermoforming
process, which processes LDPE rolls to produce
air bubble film both for technical packaging and
reflective insulation. The specialty of this line,
compared to traditional off-line systems, is that
it significantly reduces energy consumption and
provides maximum production-plan flexibility
with its “stop-on-phase” procedure. The AIR
BASIC series is still one of the most purchased
lines for the production of air bubble film for
technical packaging and reflective insulation.
The TWIN BUBBLE™ is the answer to a new
profitable sector which produces air bubble
film for use as thermo reflective insulation in
costruction applications. Requests from
Customers involved in such specific markets
have moved Torninova Corp. to design and
produce a new patented extrusion system,
called TWIN BUBBLE.
This machine allows the production of multilayer compound (sandwich) bubble foil, PE-foam
and aluminum foil, all in one-single process.
The TWIN BUBBLE system can even produce
flame-retardant materials certifiable for all
different Worldwide Standards.

COEX
BUBBLE (10)™
high-speed/high-output,
in-line co-extrusion.
The World’s largest packing corporations use
the COEX BUBBLE (10) as it represents the most
advanced technology for in-line production of
air bubble films containing an integrated air
retention barrier.
The COEX BUBBLE (10) is a cast co-extrusion
system with three extruders. It processes
LDPE, TIE and Nylon-PA6 pellets to produce
high-performance, symmetrically structured
(ABCBA+ABCBA), multilayer air bubble film.
For the production of:
air bubble film packaging - reflective bubble foil
insulation - bubble solar pool cover - air bubble film
laminated with PE-foam - air bubble film laminated with
LDPE film - air bubble film laminated with HDPE film - air
bubble film laminated with coated kraft paper - air bubble
film laminated with coated aluminium foil - air bubble film
laminated with MPET film - air bubble film laminated with
printed film - air bubble film laminated with non-woven bubble wrap - etc...
The 10-layer structure allows for integration
of an air-tight, Nylon-PA6 barrier for longer
bubble-air-retention, thus improving the film’s
cushioning and protective properties, even at
reduced thicknesses.
For example, a 35 g/m2 of coex film has the
same resistance of a 60 g/m2 mono film- a
definite competitive advantage!
Especially suitable for technical packaging and
envelopes, the COEX BUBBLE (10) series is fully
automatic and includes touch screen controls
for custom configuration of production recipes.
Thanks to an on-board network connection,
machine function can be remotely monitored via
Internet.
The modular configuration of COEX BUBBLE (10)
lends itself to many useful upgrades, such as
a 3rd layer lamination unit, a perforation unit,
etc...

MAC BUBBLE is a traditional off-line system
which processes LDPE rolls for high-output air
bubble film production. A thermoform process
laminates two individual films using Tefloncoated cylinders heated by a diathermic oilcircuit connected to electric heating units.
The result is high-speed air bubble film production with superior lamination quality, even
for films of larger widths. In some cases, the
production speeds achieved by MAC BUBBLE
machines are much higher than those of an
extrusion-based machine, even when starting
from very high thickness films.
The MAC BUBBLE system also has an on-board
network connection which allows machine function to be remotely monitored via Internet and

AIR BASIC is Torninova’s patented off-line system which processes LDPE rolls to produce air
bubble film of various bubble sizes for technical
packaging and reflective insulation.
A thermoform process laminates two individual
films using a special heating bar to blow hot-air
over the films. Compared to traditional off-line
systems, this process significantly reduces
energy consumption and provides maximum
production-plan flexibility with its “stop-onphase” procedure. Such special features serve
to significantly reduce inventory, transportation
and energy costs.
Because the AIR BASIC system is so versatile
and easy to use, a single, un-skilled operator
can quickly perform production changeovers
without wasting material at restart. The
on-board network connection allows remote
monitoring of machine function via Internet and
the system’s modular configuration lends itself
to many useful upgrades such as a 3rd layer
lamination unit, perforation unit, etc. The AIR
BASIC series is still one of the most purchased
lines for production of air bubble film for technical packaging and reflective insulation.

Torninova’s patented TRIPLEX winder is the fastest automated tapeless and glueless winder
for air bubble film and PE-foam machines. This
turret winder is based on a three-cantilevershaft configuration that allows extremely fast
cycle changes (< 40s). The automatic loading
of new cardboard cores (whole or split) and
extraction of finished rolls is synchronized with
a roller-table at the final collection station. The
new transversal cutting system allows film to
be wound without glue or adhesive tape on the
core. Thanks to its advanced technology, the
TRIPLEX winds various types and thicknesses
of air bubble film and PE-foam, into very short
roll lengths, at a speed of over 100 m/min.
The TRIPLEX can also be installed on existing
production lines.
The DUPLEX PLUS is Torninova’s traditional,
highly reliable tapeless and glueless turret
winder consisting of two cantilever air expansion shafts with automatic inflation/deflation.
Extremely reliable and powerful, the DUPLEX
PLUS winds perfect quality rolls to extremely
accurate lengths and widths, even when divided in-line into sub-formats. The DUPLEX PLUS
can be configured to wind external bubble,
internal bubble or double-system films. The DUPLEX PLUS is available with an automatic FAST
LOADING system for finished roll extraction,
core loading and hot-melt application (both for
initial core gluing and roll closure). The DUPLEX
PLUS can wind air bubble film and PE-foam of
any type and thickness and can also be installed on existing production lines.
The VIR is an in-line contact winder for assembly on air bubble film and PE-foam machines.
With its guaranteed speed performance and
finished roll quality, the VIR produces rolls up
to two meters in diameter and is thus recommended for all customers converting air bubble
film or PE-foam through a second manipulation
phase (bags, envelopes, formats, sheets, etc.).
The larger diameter rolls (longer) are automatically unloaded onto the floor to reduce finished
roll replacement times during the conversion
process. The VIR can also be installed on
existing production lines.

LAMINATION
UNIT
This lamination module can be retrofitted to
any new or old extrusion-based machine for the
production of air bubble film or PE-foam in net
widths of up to 3 meters. It laminates, in-line, a
3rd film of LDPE or HDPE over the bubble layer.
The melted film from the single flat die adheres
directly to the heads of the bubbles which are
rapidly cooled. The result is a surprisingly lowcost, three-layer LDPE air bubble film.
Additionally, the same melted film can be used
as an adhesive layer for perfectly smooth,
high-speed lamination to other rolled materials
(PE-foam, coated aluminium foil or kraft paper,
printed film, non-woven, etc). The finished
product is an air bubble film with two flat faces,
one of which can be optionally characterized by
a different material.
This fast and powerful in-line lamination module is easily retrofitted to any new or old machine for high-speed production of air bubble film
or PE-foam in net widths of up to 3 meters. The
3rd film layer to be laminated is supplied from
the unit’s double-station film unwinder (with
no-stop changeover). Teflon-coated cylinders
heated by a diathermic oil circuit connected
to electric heating units, laminate the 3rd film
layer over the bubble layer. This lamination
process guarantees the highest production
speeds of any main line and ensures best-quality lamination with all kinds of material (HDPE
film, PE-foam, coated aluminium foil or kraft
paper, printed film, non-woven, etc.). The main
advantage of this lamination unit is its ability
to laminate film directly on top of the air bubble
film with no additional adhesive layer.
This in-line, hot-air lamination system is easily
retrofitted to any new or old machine for
air bubble film or PE-foam production in net
widths of up to 1,6 meters. The 3rd film layer is
supplied from rolls on the unit’s double-station
film unwinder (with no-stop changeover) and
is laminated over the bubble layer using hot
air. Thanks to this air-based heating system,
the unit is especially suitable for lamination of
delicate materials such as PE-foam, coated aluminium foil, printed film, etc. This unit is further
distinguished by its “stop-on-phase” procedure
and very low energy consumption.

printed film, non-woven, etc.) to the base of
the air bubble film, improving or varying the
finished film’s aesthetic and/or mechanical
characteristics. It consists of a double-station
unwinder equipped with two air expansion
shafts for loading the 4th layer film rolls. While
a roll is unwinding on one station, a new roll
can be prepared in stand-by on the other for a
no-stop changeover. This modular unit is easily
retrofitted to any new or existing in-line air
bubble film machine.
This useful independent module is easy retrofitted in-line to any air bubble film machine and
can possibly be used in other types of machines
producing similar films (PE-foam, blow film, etc).
It makes a preliminary cut on the film at desired
intervals (max. 400 strokes/min) before winding, resulting in a finished film roll prepared
in pre-cut sections that are quickly and easily
torn-off when needed. A brushless motor with
encoder drives the double-blade pre-cutting
device and ensures exact, consistent sheet
sizes. The module is available with an optional
trim-cutting unit and suction group.
These chromed cylinders for bubble moulding are the most distinguishing element of
Torninova’s technical know-how. A monolithic steel cylinder, with a special internal
water circuit provides perfectly homogenous
thermoregulation, guaranteeing the highest
production performance and maximum stability
with material of any thickness. The sector
vacuum system used for bubble thermoforming
increases efficiency and conserves power. The
push-to-connect design allows for fast cylinder
changes. The cylinders can be manufactured
to custom bubble shapes and dimensions and
are available for all types of air bubble film
machinery.

SHEETEX™
sheeter machine
with needle staking
Can convert:
air bubble film - PE-foam - air bubble film laminated with
PE-foam - air bubble film laminated with LDPE film - air
bubble film laminated with HDPE film - air bubble film laminated with coated kraft paper - air bubble film laminated
with coated aluminium foil - air bubble film laminated with
MPET film - air bubble film laminated with printed film - air
bubble film laminated with non-woven - etc...
The SHEETEX machine is the best solution for
effortless cutting of plastic materials (such
as PE-foam and air bubble film) into sheets of
pre-set length.
Sheets (or multiple sheets) are cut and divided
by self-sharpening blades which require no
adjusting even when material thickness or the
number of layers to be cut varies.
A needle stacker collects the sheets and stacks
them on a table with pivot rotation to facilitate
extraction.

RP™
coreless
rewinder
Can rewind:
The RP machine is a fully automatic rewinder
that produces coreless, small-diameter rolls
(mini-rolls, max. diameter Ø 350 mm) of plastic
film (air bubble film, PE-foam, EPS, corrugated
paper, etc.)
Once the starting roll is inserted, the RP rewinder automatically begins producing the small
diameter rolls. The operator does nothing more
than simply change the starting roll and replace
the collecting box once it is full. The machine
can also split the starting jumbo reel to produce
2 or more narrower rolls at the same time.

with coated aluminium foil - air bubble film laminated with

bubble film laminated with non-woven - etc...
52
The RP rewinder is the perfect choice for
entering retail markets (hardware stores, superstores, DIY, etc.) where air bubble film rolls are
not sold in standard sizes, but rather, in shorter
lengths of 3 to 30 meters.
Avoiding the use of an internal cardboard core
is crucial in this specific market, as its cost is
excessively high in relation to the end product
being sold, a compelling reason to choose the
RP Coreless Rewinder.

RP PLUS™
coreless
rewinder
In addition to producing the same short length
rolls as the RP Coreless Rewinder, the RP PLUS
is capable of rewinding coreless mini-rolls up to
a diameter of Ø 600 mm (containing 100 meters
of air bubble film).
As the diameter of the roll in production grows,
automatic support devices are engaged to
handle the extra weight.
Can rewind:
air bubble film - PE-foam - air bubble film laminated with
PE-foam - air bubble film laminated with LDPE film - air
bubble film laminated with HDPE film - air bubble film laminated with coated kraft paper - air bubble film laminated
with coated aluminium foil - air bubble film laminated with
MPET film - air bubble film laminated with printed film - air
bubble film laminated with non-woven - etc...
This off-line rewinder can produce coreless
rolls in standard sizes (50 and 100 meters) for
increased savings of cost and space.

LAM™
lamination
machine
Can produce:
reflective bubble foil insulation - air bubble film laminated with coated aluminium foil - air bubble film laminated
with MPET film - reflective PE-foam insulation - air bubble
film laminated with PE-foam - air bubble film laminated
with LDPE film - air bubble film laminated with HDPE film
- air bubble film laminated with coated kraft paper - air
bubble film laminated with printed film - air bubble film
laminated with non-woven - all lamination with air bubble
film and PE-foam.
The LAM machine is a hot-air lamination system which laminates the entire surface of two
or more rolls of plastic materials (two or three
layer air bubble film, PE coated materials, LDPE
and HDPE films and PE-foam) for value-added
improvement of complex, final products used in
various applications.
Alternatively, by adding electrically-heated
sealing wheels, the extremities of two rolls of
bubble foil can be coupled with aluminium on
the external side (like a “tube”).
Such coupling may also include an additional
internal material (PE-foam or other). The LAM
machine is therefore recommended for plastic
film lamination and/or production of complex
materials specific to the reflective insulation
market.
