First 11-layer FILMEX cast film line sold to China - Windmöller ...

2 September 2008 – Code No. 22’08
line. The new cast film extrusion line is on its way to China and projected
for start-up at the Zhongshan plant end of this year.
The new FILMEX is equipped with 9 extruders and designed for a film
width of 2,600 mm. It is capable of handling all customary polymer
groups such as PP, PE, PA, and EVOH. An 11-layer feedblock ensures
the uniform distribution of the individual layers and gives high flexibility
in terms of product design. One highlight of this new line is the edge
encapsulation system that enables less expensive resins to be used in the
area of the film edges and in this way notably reduces the cost resulting
from inevitable edge trimming.
The line also features the proven PROCONTROL operator console
with touch screen monitor for easy operation, and PROFILE BOOSTER,
the new module to optimize die start-up and reduce start-up time and
waste. Excellent winding results are achieved with the proven W&H
FILMATIC M winder. To ensure optimum utilisation of the two
FILMEX lines, Xiang Fu has also invested in the ISP automation
module (ISP = Information System Production) for central production data
management.
„The very positive experiences we have made with our first W&H cast
film line in recent years and the broad acceptance the high-quality film
produced on this line has found among our very demanding customers
simply convinced us to opt for W&H state-of-the-art technology again“,
explains Douglas Lin, Technical Director of Xiang Fu, the company‘s
decision to purchase another W&H FILMEX cast film line.
