coreless machine rolls in top quality

05.11.2009

On the recently presented winder model 4000 of SML Maschinen GmbH, Austria, it is possible to produce coreless machine rolls. Installed in a 4-up stretch film line, the winder is capable of producing 4 x 500mm wide rolls weighing up to 16 kg each, either with or without paper cores. Running without cores does not impair roll built-up or winding quality.

Eliminating paper cores amounts to considerable savings for the film producer.
The advantages for the users of the film are more film on the roll and no cost for disposing empty cores, says Mr. Rauscher, product manager of cast film division.

SML GOES HIGH SPEED

21.09.2009

HIGH SPEED stretch-film-line has been taken into operation...

On 20th and 21st of October 2009 the latest innovation from SML Maschinengesellschaft mbH – the HIGHSPEED stretchwrap-extrusion-line was successfully put into operation and presented to an international specialised audience.
SML has reached its ambitious goal und has convinced the customers yet again that SML is the global technology leader in the range of the high speed film extrusion lines!

The new high speed line is designed for a mechanical speed of 1000m/min and an extrusion capacity of 2500 kg/h for 5 layers. Due to its speed potential, the aim is to run a constant maximum output at all standard film thicknesses of between 15 and 23µm. One special feature of this line is the new HSE extruders which produce the main layers of the film. The HSE extruders are achieving an extremely high throughput and are able to process standard polyethylene as well as metallocenes in the best melt quality. Above all a key priority was to develop a line with efficient energy consumption and less space requirements.

SML with its head office in Lenzing, Austria is specialised in building high-performance extrusion equipment and operates 3 additional offices in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Beijing, (China) and Moscow (GUS).
