Macro Engineering & Technology Inc. has upgraded its high-speed cast line for producing PVC cling film to increase output by more than 20%. The new 2.0 m wide line features an extrusion output of 300 kg/h (up from 230 kg/h in the previous design). It produces film from 8 – 16 microns thickness that can be used in both hand-wrap and machine-wrap applications. A key feature of the redesigned line is the new winder, which operates at speeds up to 280 m/min. The winder is a specially designed two-spindle contact version that creates elevated contact force s to generate rolls that are transparent and with uniform geometry.
PVC cling film is popular for such applications as meat, poultry, cheese and vegetable packaging applications. The film’s stretching properties offer very good food presentation on the shelf and it clings well to many surfaces. Macro supplied its first PVC cling film line in 200 7 and now has systems installed and operating in Asia , South America and the Middle East.
