Since the recent market trend is gradually growing more in favour of synthetic components than bituminous ones, Amut S.p.A., Novara, Italy, now offers extrusion lines producing waterproofing membranes capable to process different thermoplastic materials, such as F/PVC, TPO, TPE in a single step. The use of these materials improves the technical performances and the physical features of the membrane, complying with international standards and requirements in the civil works sector.

Like plastics manufacturing and processing, the recycling of plastic products requires specialization to be efficient. Accordingly, a Dutch company has dedicated itself entirely to the recycling of agricultural and packaging films ¿ and invested in a machine technology, which was found along tortuous ways.

Call for papers for a symposium for lateral thinkers  

As already known since the previous K, “EVO Ultra Flat” from Reifenhäuser Blown Film GmbH, Worms, Germany, improves the flatness properties of blown film. A new laser-measurement system now enables the improvement to be quantified precisely: laminating and barrier films are up to 40  % flatter while sagging is reduced by up to 90  %. The measuring unit records the topography of the fine film web and then sets the correct production parameters. Reifenhäuser will be demonstrating at its booth how this ultra-flat measurement with integrated closed loop control functions.

The demands placed on packaging films are so multifaceted that they can only be met by combining different raw material components. This in turn requires blown film dies that are able to process a wide range of materials and thus provide greater flexibility for the film manufacturer. 

Barrier Film: Nine Super-Thin Layers 

Jointly organized by the Institut für Produkt Engineering (IPE) and Hanser Publishers on March 12–13 in Duisburg, Germany, and with well over 100 participants, the conference was a great success. The participants enjoyed highly topical subjects, top-class speakers, and lively discussions hosted by Professor Johannes Wortberg.

Duisburg Extrusion Conference: The Versatility of Films 

It was not only the 5-layer coextrusion blown film system itself that attracted around 100 visitors to the plant of Kuhne GmbH, in St. Augustin, Germany, at the beginning of April, but also the manner in which it was presented. Over a period of two weeks, the machinery manufacturer gave visitors the opportunity to participate in the first test and production runs of the 20 m high system, which stood completely assembled in the technical center. 

Blown Film Extrusion: Saint Augustin Displays Greatness 

About 20 percent of the 50,000 metric tons annual sheet output of the Danish company R. Færch Plast A/S in Holstebro will come from a new high-performance PP production line supplied by Battenfeld Extrusionstechnik GmbH in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. For the continuously growing market for rigid foodstuffs packaging, Færch Plast operates a total of seven extrusion lines – mainly for PET, PP and PS film. Three of the lines come from Germany, and a fourth line has been ordered. Both the first and the second PET line, which was installed in 2002, work with a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Thanks to effective melt degassing, high-quality sheet can be produced without material pre-drying. Battenfeld Extrusionstechnik accepted overall responsibility for both lines, so that the Færch Plast plant comes from a single source. According to Battenfeld, this kind of cooperation is also beneficial for the further development of machine components for the high-output flat sheet line with high-speed extruders. Færch was the first processor to decide for the installation of such a modern line. The high-speed BEX 1-75-34 is a comparatively small single-screw extruder but has an enormous output. With a screw speed of 1,500rpm, the machine has a three times higher output than a comparable conventional extruder of the same size. By means of adapted downstream equipment and a 75mm extruder, the line achieves an output of 1,400 kg/h when producing PP film.

Use of renewable resources is currently being actively researched. Before they can be used, the environmental compatibility, economic aspects and social impact over the entire life cycle, including production and disposal, must be investigated. If the results are not positive, there are alternatives that do not rely on biomass, since innovative petrochemical plastic products are saving enormous amounts of energy and thus lowering CO2 emissions already today – and the potential is not yet exhausted.

An Eco-Efficiency Evaluation: Bio – Sense or Nonsense 

Extruders from Leistritz Extrusionstechnik GmbH, Nuremberg, Germany, are used in the production of BOPP (bi-oriented polypropylene) films. Now, a ZSE 135 Maxx extruder has been delivered to the Austrian-French company DMT. DMT is a supplier of machines and equipment for producing biaxially stretched plastic films, which, among other applications, are used as packaging materials in the food industry. The ZSE 135 Maxx has a screw diameter of 140 mm and enables extremely high torques together with a large free screw volume. DMT employs the extruder as part of a direct extrusion line. A total of 16 machines from Leistritz, with screw diameters of 75 to 140 mm, are now in operation at DMT.

In October 2008 the plant and equipment manufacturer Kuhne GmbH hosted the first “Kuhne Autumn Week“. The very latest developments in blown and flat film manufacture were presented to an international audience at their headquarters in Sankt Augustin, Germany. A range of informative presentations by guest speakers rounded off the in-house exhibition. Alongside issues relating to specific materials, aspects of measurement and control technology were discussed. 

Extrusion: Spotlight on Film 

Brückner delivers sequential film stretching lines 

Xiamen Changsu orders production line for BOPA film 

The Chinese global film supplier invests in two 7-m sequential film stretching lines for the production of BOPA films. 

The Chinese BOPA film producer Xiamen Changsu just now ordered two new sequential film stretching lines from Brückner Maschinenbau which are, according to their own information, the fastest, widest and most powerful of their kind so far: a working width of 7+m, a production speed of 340 m/min and an output of more than 2.5 tons per hour have not been achieved yet. 

Mr. Wang Zhefu, Chairman of Xiamen Changsu says: „When we decided to make this investment, we had a clear goal in mind: lowest production costs with highest film quality at the same time. The new lines surpass our largest machines to date by 35% in speed and 50% in output. And based on our long-lasting experience with the Brückner technology we can safely assume outstanding film qualities with the finishing characteristics our customers expect.” 

Reinhard Priller, Sales Director Brückner Maschinenbau, adds: „The new lines also mark the latest development stage in the field of sequential PA film stretching: From 4.2 to 5.1 to 6.6 meter we now reached a proud 7+ meters. And Xiamen Changsu made all these steps along with us.“ 

The lines are to start production in the last quarter 2021, right in time to produce film for the year´s end business.
