The PILOT BLOWN K7, produces 7-layer films, useful for developing multi-layer film formulations with polymers with different properties:

• Barrier towards oxygen, carbon dioxide and odours
• Lightness
• Mechanical strength
• Heat and UV resistance

The PILOT BLOWN K7 consists of 7 XTR 20 extruders with 20 mm ø screws, suitable for processing different types of polymers with different features and viscosity.

The tubular film come out of the 80 mm ø die is cooled thanks to the innovative cooling air ring produced by SYNCRO, as well as the smallest automatic ring available on the market today, the TYPHOON Y00.

In a combined action with SONYSCAN, an innovative ultrasonic scanner provided by SYNCRO, it can guarantee a precise film thickness control with excellent tolerances.

The combined action of all these elements makes it possible to obtain a tubular film of different widths, up to a maximum of 400 mm and different thicknesses, with a range from 20 to 150 microns, meet the increasingly stringent standards imposed in the food and medical industries.

The EYES, a visual quality inspection system produced by ACELABS are high-resolution cameras, scanning 100% of the film, detecting and classifying every type of defect.

SYLINE XXS gravimetric feeders, placed on all the extruders of the line, ensures a precise control of the extruder output.

The post Eurexma K7 Pilot Blown Film Line on show at Milan Plast, Sept 5 – 8. first appeared on UK Extrusion.

Guests will be able to discuss their film and sheet projects with staff from Bandera on their stand HALL 15 – BOOTH A/B 121/122 at the Plast 2018 show and then choose to visit the impressive House of Extrusion.

A primary focus for Bandera at Plast will be to promote recyclable and/or biodegradable materials for environmental protection.

They will additionally present solutions for packaging and converting for the future. Concentrated more than ever on minimizing power consumption, reducing thickness and achieving a basic goal of a sustainable reduction in package weight.

On working display at the Bandera premises during Plast will be:

• A newly-manufactured blown film extrusion line. Five-layer polyolefin-dedicated PO5 series, ensuring hourly outputs in excess of 1000 kg, useable film width 2600 mm
• A complete extrusion line for RIGID PET, PP and PLA FILM, with a gross output rate of 1200 kg/h, useable film width 1450 mm and thickness range between 0.14 and 1,5 mm.
• The new PURe ® Unit dedicated to the production of FDA/EFSA approved packaging RIGID FILMS using PCR PET
• Elements of extrusion lines specifically intended for agriculture blown film and geomembrane blown film for civil and industrial waterproof systems

Bandera’s team of highly qualified professionals will be on hand to answer visitor’s questions and talk about how Bandera can help with your production. Software specialists will be on hand to explain the company’s software programs for Industry 4.0 connections, via their IoE ® Internet of Extrusion.

Visitors will be able to see these lines, which have been engineered for major European and Asian customers, in full operational mode.  The Alpha PPTM, Alpha VelPet ® and AlphaPet ® lines, will be available to any potential buyers who wish to run tests to establish their specific process requirements and experience the distinctive features and high quality performance of the Bandera Rigid Film Extrusion Lines.

Bandera have used intensive research and development in order to meet the highest standards required by increasingly sophisticated application technologies such as TDO label film, furniture lamination, credit card and packaging industries. Their PET processing technology is available in a wide thickness range (0.12 to 2.20 mm) and output range (700 to 2600 kg/h).

If you would like to discover more about the rigid film extrusion lines available from Bandera and how they could benefit your operation, why not talk to us about arranging a visit for this truly exceptional Open House Event.

The post Bandera Present 5 Rigid Film Extrusion Lines in 2018 first appeared on UK Extrusion.

Among the applications for which this line is suited are lamination film, printing film, shrink film, and industrial stretch film.

Suitable materials include LDPE, EVA, LLDPE, mLLDPE and blends with MDPE, HDPE and coPP.

Bandera’s TechnoFlex® lines represent the most consolidated technology for the production of advanced multipurpose packaging solutions.

The standard configuration comprises a central high capacity extruder, with two smaller ones for the outer layers.

TechnoFlex® Lines are fully accessorised to ensure the production of top quality high-tech film. A top of the range winder, allows 3 winding methods – contact, axial and gap.

In particular, the 5-layer configuration to be demonstrated at the Open House Event, is perfect for processors looking for high production flexibility to process PE film.

For further details of the line configuration and information on how you might attend this thoroughly worthwhile event please contact us.
