Successful Start-Up in Nairobi
Multi-layer Blown Film Machine in Kenya
In June, POLYSTAR installed another 3-layer blown film machine in Nairobi, Kenya. The LDPE blown film machine is equipped with a gravimetric dosing system and automatic winding and cutting devices to increase the level of automation and reduce labor costs.
The 10-meter-high film extrusion line is capable of producing LDPE film from 800 mm in width up to 1700 mm for a variety of flexible packaging products.
Application of using ABA three-layer blown film extrusion
The ABA three-layer blown film extrusion line is suitable for making shrink film, film for mattress packaging, greenhouse covers, and beverage packaging.
Besides reducing a significant amount of raw material used in the formula, another advantage of the ABA machine is that the 3-layer film that it produces is 30% stronger than the film produced by a mono-layer extruder. The ABA machine is also much more economical compared to an ABC three-layer machine as it has one extruder less.
In TaipeiPlas 2014, POLYSTAR will exhibit an ABA-blown film machine at the show to introduce this technology to visitors.
