Manufacturers of standard extruders sometimes incorporate oversized drives into their machine designs in order to be able to cover a wide range of requirements. In times of high energy prices, however, this is no longer economical. An extruder should be equipped with a drive package that is matched to the gearbox and the processing unit. But what are the requirements governing the design of the drive system?

Drives on the test bench: this type of motor test bench is used by Veka to collect experience about the operation of some 700 twin-screw extruders and 300 single-screw extruders used in production facilities worldwide at the most favorable operating point

Metrology: Thickness Tolerance as a Quality Aspect 

At a three-day inhouse trade show, a plant manufacturer presented the latest developments in film production and printing and decoration technologies to an international audience. The focus was not only on increasing output, but also on developing new film products and adapting the product pallet to current market developments.

Film Extrusion: Response to the Slack Period 

Production of high-quality film for optical and electronic applications poses significant challenges for the manufacturing process and the flexibility of the equipment. Laboratory-scale machines are ideal for this processing window. On the one hand, they keep material consumption low during prototyping, while on the other they are very well-suited for cost-effective production of short runs. 

Extrusion: Film with a Function 

Film for protecting sensitive surfaces is used in a variety of applications. Whether glass, ceramic, plastic, steel or painted – all surfaces must be protected against external influences between production and use. Moreover, the requirements that must be satisfied by the film are as varied as the products themselves. Absence of blemishes and impurities in such applications is especially important.

Flat Blown Film Line for the Middle East Region

Jafra Plastic Industries LLC, based in Amman, Jordan, has successfully completed the commissioning of a new EVO Ultra Flat Blown Film line from Reifenhäuser.

Jafra Plastic Industries LLC, based in Amman, Jordan, has successfully completed the commissioning of a new EVO Ultra Flat Blown Film line from Reifenhäuser. With their new line, they will primarily serve technical films, lamination film, collation shrink-wrap, flexible packaging and barrier film for local markets and the Middle East region.

With EVO Ultra Flat, according to Reifenhäuser, there is no more bagginess or camber: integrated directly into the take-off, it simply produces perfectly flat film – energy-efficient with moderate stretching of a few percent. This speeds up subsequent printing and lamination processes and saves adhesive and printing ink. Thus, film production is faster, cheaper, more sustainable, and leads to end products with an enhanced visual appearance.

Jafra Plastic Industries LLC was founded in late 1999 utilizing a small machine to produce agricultural mulch film and plastic garbage bags. Today, Jafra houses multiple cutting edge blown-film lines and produces up to 8000 t/a of premium and customized films. It caters to a multitude of industries including technical films, flexible packaging, construction, agriculture and many more.

“We decided for the Ultra Flat Technology because it provides best film quality that will save costs on many levels. Our main objectives of the investment are increasing output, provide higher quality films, reduce the CO2 footprint by downgauging and ultimately increase our product portfolio.”, said Naji Abu Shehab, Managing Director of Jafra Plastic Industries
