Why choose EBM machines for ice pack production?

Ice packs and freeze boards are highly customizable thanks to extrusion blow molding technology. Techne machines allow the production of complex shapes, various colors, and finishes while optimizing shape performance and weight.

Techne Extrusion Blow Molding Machines are highly reliable in terms of product repeatability. Multiple quality control tests are performed to ensure consistency and uniformity in the final product.

Techne machines guarantee an average production consumption lower than the highest class of the European standard Euromap 40.6 – Class 10, making them a safe choice for energy efficiency.

    Fast Color Change, continuous production.

    Techne’s system reduces downtime during color changes in reusable ice pack production. Thanks to the PVD coating applied to the extrusion heads, plastic material flows better on metal surfaces, reducing adhesion and facilitating cleaning. The result is a more efficient process with lower material and energy waste, consistent product quality, and more flexible and sustainable production.
