Extruders
Where It All Begins
The quality of the final product starts with the melt and W. MÜLLER extruders are designed to get it right from the beginning. With years of experience in extrusion technology, their machines are built for long life, high performance, and flexibility.
You can choose from compact vertical or horizontal designs, ideal for both new systems and retrofits. For high-throughput lines, premium models with heat-separated feed zone cooling ensure excellent melt quality. They’re also built to handle a wide range of materials, including PVC, PA, EVOH, E-PET, and more.
Extrusion Heads
Mono and Multilayer
W.MÜLLER designs and builds high-quality extrusion heads for continuous blow molding, trusted by manufacturers around the world. These systems are built with a focus on precision, reliability, and ease of use helping you run smooth, cost-effective production lines.
Whether you're working with mono-layer or complex multilayer applications, W. Müller has a wide range of extrusion heads to suit different materials and production needs. And if you need something custom? That’s possible too.
Areas of Application
FOOD PACKAGING
The food industry places particularly high demands on packaging properties.
For example, bottles for this sector must ensure optimum protection of the filled product with no risk of contamination. At the same time, the packaging must be break resistant and aesthetically appealing. Cost-effective production is also a welcome bonus.
In this case, plastic bottles offer the ideal properties. A multi-layer wall structure consisting of diverse plastic materials enables the combination of various aspects, such as; optimum shape and transparency, with, for example, an oxygen barrier to help preserve the filled product.
Plastic bottles are also particularly light-weight and break resistant during filling and handling processes.

COSMETICS PACKAGING
Cosmetics packaging must emphasize the high quality and exclusiveness of the product. The focus here is on the individual design and application of high-quality materials. A glass-like appearance with impressive depth effect and special colour effects can add to the level of attractiveness.
The application of special materials in the outer layer enhances the feel and aesthetics of the surface.
A trend in this sector is relatively small bottle sizes designed for travel and active use.
PHARMACEUTICAL PACKAGING
Health comes first for pharmaceutical applications. Sterility takes top priority. Eye drop bottles, blood bas, transfusion bags, and medical packaging are manufactured under clean room conditions. The design of the packaging is often customized to the respective area of application.
HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING
Many household products are manufactured in large quantity runs. Packaging costs play a major role when calculating the over-all product costs and this is the reason why extremely thin-walled bottles that require less material are often preferred. However, only uniform material distribution across the entire container ensures efficient material usage and thus cost-effective production conditions.
CHEMICAL PACKAGING
Environmental protection is a key aspect of chemical packaging. Diffusion of the aggressive fluid through the container wall should always be prevented. This is achieved reliably and effectively for plastic bottles and containers through special inner plastic layers that give barrier properties. Furthermore, the design ensures almost complete emptying of the containers.
INDUSTRIAL PACKAGING
Various requirements regarding safety during storage and transportation are placed on industrial packaging. At the same time, varying requirements for protecting the respective filled product must be met: high mechanical strength, stickability, burst pressure safety rating, barrier properties, the integrations of conductive layers and the use of recycled resin, just to mention a few of the many demands. It is also critically important not to compromise the visual appeal of industrial packaging.
AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS
When developing new components for the automotive industry, the goal of weight and cost reduction is just as important as safety issues. Complex designs mean that components come in all shapes and sizes. At the same time, very high demands are placed on components in terms of their durability, strength and eco-friendliness. Moreover, in engine compartments the components must be able to withstand considerable temperature fluctuations while minimizing any negative impacts.
BULK CONTAINERS
Today, large containers, such as barrels, IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers), and storage tanks, are generally available as mono-layer containers. In this case, the container wall consists of one type of material which sometimes includes additives. These containers are often treated with fluorine gas to achieve the desired barrier properties. This treatment raises major concerns with regards to environmental protection as well as heath and safety compliance.
A trend towards multi-layer wall structures is currently underway to achieve enhanced container properties. By combining various plastics with different properties, the qualities of the containers are perfectly adapted to the respective are of application.
Furthermore, uniform distribution of raw material across the entire container surface plays a significant role in assuring a cost-effective production, in particular when manufacturing large material-intensive containers.
