Zhida Plastic Machinery
High-performance thermoplastic extrusion technology tailored for South Eastern European industrial compliance and energy efficiency.
As the administrative, financial, and industrial core of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo is undergoing a transformative structural update across its manufacturing eco-system. Situated dynamically within the South Eastern European corridor, local enterprises in the Sarajevo Canton and surrounding industrial zones (such as Vogošća, Hadžići, and Novi Grad) are facing escalating demands for infrastructure modernization, sustainable urban expansion, and energy-efficient manufacturing compliance.
The plastic processing market in Bosnia and Herzegovina is heavily aligned with Western European quality standards (CE, ISO, and EN specifications) due to close trade linkages with Germany, Austria, and Italy. Consequently, plastics convertors in Sarajevo require advanced polymer processing equipment—ranging from high-speed HDPE municipal pipe extrusion lines to precision PVC profiles for eco-friendly architectural fenestration.
The global polymer processing machinery sector is experiencing a paradigm shift driven by digital integration, circular economy mandates, and extreme energy volatility. Industrial operators in Sarajevo must navigate rising electricity tariffs across Europe while maintaining strict linear tolerance and melt homogeneity. Modern extruders are no longer judged solely by raw output, but by their Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) measured in kWh per kilogram of processed polymer.
China has established the world's most complete, vertically integrated industrial ecosystem for plastic extrusion technology. Clusters in Ningbo, Shanghai, and Jiangsu produce over 60% of the world's extrusion hardware. By leveraging advanced CNC machining centers, standardized assembly lines, and high-volume component procurement, top-tier Chinese manufacturers offer performance specs matching premium European OEMs at a fraction of the capital investment.

Our senior engineering team conducts comprehensive static and dynamic load testing. Key components including ABB/Siemens motors, Flender/Guomao gearboxes, and Schneider electrics are audited and restored.
Used/Second-hand Plastic Machinery + New Plastic Machinery OEM Partner
Ningbo Zhida Plastic Machinery Co., Ltd. was established in 2018, with its headquarters located in Ningbo, China. The company specializes in the sales and service of used/second-hand plastic machinery and is currently one of the largest suppliers of used/second-hand plastic extrusion machine in China. Since its establishment, the company has always adhered to the principle of "integrity-based, quality first". We have successfully helped over 1000 plastic product manufacturers reduce production costs, including manufacturers from India, Morocco, Vietnam, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zambia, Ethiopia and other countries.
Furthermore, we have a cooperating team dedicated to the manufacturing of new machinery, which can provide you with brand new plastic machinery. Through the dual-track model of "used/second-hand machinery supply + new machinery customization", we provide our customers with one-stop and diversified plastic machinery solutions, and accurately meet the different budget and production needs of our customers. You can choose the used/second-hand machinery with high cost-performance, or you can choose the new machinery with significant price advantages.
Our sourcing team keep travelling throughout China every week, and have good relations with local large pipe/profile/sheet/plate factories. 90% of our used/second-hand plastic extrusion machines are manufactured by the top five manufacturers in China, including Jwell, BeiEr, FangLi, Jurry, JinHu, Maffeih, etc.
Our engineering team has 15 years of experience in maintaining and testing plastic extrusion machines. We are able to inspect motor, gearbox, inverter, pump, etc., and perform good repairs and replacements for them. We will test all the equipment before arranging shipment and ensure that they are running well at the customer's factory. Excellent refurbishment services for you to choose from, and used/second-hand equipment will be with beautiful colors.
Welcome to visit our factory in Ningbo. We are located close to the airport and the seaport, and the transportation is very convenient. Besides, we have excellent transportation options.
Sourcing the corresponding targeted equipment according to your specific technical requirements from the Chinese market within 7 business days.
Understanding intent-driven engineering requirements allows Ningbo Zhida to supply machine configurations specifically tuned for South Eastern European polymer grades and operational environments.
Sarajevo's residential expansion requires thermal-break PVC profiles, PA insulation strips, and TPE/PMMA sealing gaskets. Our twin-screw profile extrusion lines ensure high filler loading capacity (up to 100 phr CaCO3) without compromising surface gloss or impact resistance.
Large-diameter HDPE water supply conduits (up to 1600mm) and PPR hot/cold water pipes for public works. Outfitted with gravimetric dosing systems and vacuum calibration tanks engineered to maintain continuous pipe wall uniformity.
Co-rotating twin-screw PLA and PET sheet extrusion lines cater to eco-conscious packaging converters in Sarajevo. Integrated with online crystallization and de-gassing systems for optical-clarity thermoforming applications.
When selecting a plastic extrusion system for deployment in Sarajevo or European markets, industrial buyers must audit crucial mechanical and electrical specifications to guarantee long-term ROI and compliance.
The Length-to-Diameter (L/D) ratio determines polymer residence time, shear rate, and mixing quality. For Polyolefins (PE, PP), L/D ratios of 30:1 to 36:1 with barrier screws and Maddock mixing elements are standard. For temperature-sensitive PVC, conical or parallel twin-screw configurations (L/D 22:1 to 28:1) prevent thermal degradation while ensuring thorough additive dispersion.
Modern extruders must incorporate frequency inverters (such as ABB, Danfoss, or Inovance) on main drives, reducing electrical surging by up to 30%. Dual-zone air or water cooling jackets combined with PID digital temperature controllers keep barrel melt temperatures within ±1°C tolerances.
