At COMERIO ERCOLE, we place a strong emphasis on R&D, offering our clients two advanced laboratory facilities dedicated to material testing and the development of new products. These laboratories are equipped to handle complex experiments, allowing us to support the creation of new mixed and calendered products and evaluate raw materials.
The “Renato Lualdi” laboratory, in operation for over 10 years, features a vertical two-roll calender that enables testing of new rubber compounds and other elastomers such as PVC, PU, and PET. Our patented hydraulic systems, HYDROGAP® and HYDRONIP®, ensure precise control over the calendering process, enabling accurate lamination force testing. This lab has also been instrumental in developing high-performance embossed nonwoven products, such as the HELIX® line.
The more recent “Giulio Natta” laboratory, operational for the last five years, offers an expanded space with more advanced capabilities. It is equipped with a fully hydraulic two-roll horizontal mill, which can perform a wide range of mixing performance tests, as well as a complete four-roll calender line. This lab is ideal for testing new materials and formulations, such as PVC compounds, to validate their stability. The four-roll calender line includes various technological modules that allow for flexibility in adapting to customer-specific requirements. It is also equipped with features like lamination, embossing, and cooling systems, all designed to replicate industrial production conditions, ensuring reliable and consistent results.
COMERIO ERCOLE is dedicated to offering our clients the necessary tools, expertise, and state-of-art facilities to foster innovation in material science & product development.
On December 19th, COMERIO ERCOLE hosted its traditional Christmas greetings exchange, a special occasion to share the festive spirit with both current employees and former staff members. This event is a meaningful tradition that allows everyone to come together, reflect on the year gone by and celebrate the achievements and milestones reached. It has been a particularly remarkable year, with the company successfully executing several major “turnkey” projects across different parts of the world. These projects have not only showcased the COMERIO ERCOLE’s ability to take on complex challenges but have also solidified its reputation as an international leader in the industry.
During the event, the “TREE OF IDEAS” ceremony for 2024 took place. This initiative encouraged active participation from all attendees, with 45 creative and innovative ideas presented. In line with the project’s commitment to sustainability, the company pledged to plant one tree for every five ideas submitted. As a result, 9 new fruit trees will be planted, which will help reduce approximately 1.8 tons of CO2. This not only contributes to the environment but also serves as a tangible reminder of the company’s dedication to both innovation and sustainability.
The event was a success, and the COMERIO ERCOLE thanks all those who participated, making it a truly unique and meaningful experience. It was a time to not only celebrate the accomplishments of the past year but also look forward to the exciting plans and projects that the company has already set in motion for the upcoming year. This gathering reinforced the company’s strong sense of community, collaboration and shared values, which will continue to drive its growth and success in the future. Thank you all!
