Compound production: manufacturing technical pellets to your requirements
Max Baermann produces engineered compounds in pellet form to your material specifications or on the basis of individually developed formulations. Our production is designed for functional and highly filled materials. Mineral, metallic, magnetic, electrically or thermally conductive and other functional fillers and reinforcing materials are used to tailor the properties of the compound precisely to the respective application.
Our expertise is not limited to existing material systems. Thanks to our many years of experience with highly filled engineered compounds, we also support customers in developing new material concepts and niche applications. Together we evaluate new raw material combinations, develop suitable formulations and transfer them into stable, reproducible production processes.
We transfer the defined material composition into a controlled manufacturing process and supply the compound in pellet form. This gives you a technical material with reproducible properties for further processing – for example in injection molding, in the extrusion of pipes and profiles or for producing filaments for 3D printing.
Do you have a new material idea, or would you like to industrialize an existing formulation? We support you from material development and compounding through to scale-up into industrial series production.
Manufacturing to formulation and material specification
Max Baermann produces engineered compounds on the basis of your existing formulation or material specification, or individually developed for you. Therefore we transfer the defined requirements into a controlled and reproducible manufacturing process.
Our services include:
- Review of manufacturing requirements: we clarify whether the specified formulation, the raw materials used and the agreed target values can be implemented with the intended production processes.
- Definition of the production process: based on the material specification, we define the manufacturing parameters required to produce the compound.
- Production in pellet form: we manufacture the required compound in the desired quantity and within the agreed timeframe – precisely, reliably and to consistently high quality.
- Material quality control: at every production step we test and document the relevant material characteristics and batch properties. For every batch you receive an inspection certificate with the agreed test results.
The result is a technical pellet material that meets your specification and is designed for the intended industrial processing.
Optional: formulation development and compound production from a single source
On request, Max Baermann manufactures compounds based on a formulation we have previously developed for you. As part of product engineering, our specialists select and combine [link to the “Material specifications” page: suitable materials] so that the compound delivers the desired properties for the later component. Depending on the application, we combine suitable polymer binders with magnetic fillers, graphite, tungsten carbide or other functional fillers and reinforcing materials.
We are not limited to existing material systems: we also jointly assess the feasibility of new raw material combinations, customer-specific material ideas and technical niche applications and develop suitable compound solutions for them.
The close integration of formulation development and compound production reduces interfaces and coordination effort in product development and manufacturing. Defined material requirements can be transferred directly into the production process, while necessary optimizations can be implemented without additional handovers. This results in shorter development cycles, stable material properties and economical processes across the entire product life cycle.
