Extrusion International 2-2016

Extrusion International 2/2016

SRF Limited, a leading supplier for

technical textiles, fluorine chemicals, spe-

cialty chemicals, engineering plastics and

packaging films is setting up a new

BOPET plant in India. The plant will pro-

duce up to 30,000 tons of BOPET film per

year. The capacity for metallized film will

be 8000 tons per year. More than 60%

of the proposed project output of flexible

packaging will be used in the food pak-

kaging and beverages industries.

KAMPF will deliver four machines to SRF

for this green field project. Beside one

new Imperial non-stop winder there are

three high performance slitters - one slit-

ter type Universal for material widths up

to 8,700 mm, and two slitters type Unis-

lit II for materials widths up to 3,050 mm.

Installation and commissioning of the ma-

chines in Indore, Madya Pradesh will take

place in the final quarter of 2016.

After two takeovers

Following the takeover of the two companies, Gala Industries

and Reduction Engineering Scheer, in fall last year, Maag will be ex-

hibiting the company’s expanded product portfolio for the first

time at the Chinaplas in Shanghai. Through the two takeovers,

Maag has not only gained a broader geographic presence, but has

also further expanded the product portfolio. The Swiss-based com-

pany has thus strengthened its position as global solution provider

of machines for the polymer and compounding industry.

With the new Pelletizer MAP6, a product will be on show for the

first time on the fair stand at the Chinaplas that Maag and Gala

are presenting together. The pelletizer is characterized by a user-

friendly design: The knives are adjusted by means of a handwheel

so that the operator can monitor the knife wear visually. The new

valve that diverts the polymer stream between starting and pro-

duction position switches in less than one second and ensures sta-

ble start-up and shutdown processes. With the Pelletizer MAP6,

customers benefits from Gala’s many years of experience as pio-

neer in the field of underwater pelletization. A large number of

the manufacturer’s pelletizers are in operation in a very wide range

of applications worldwide.

Centrifugal dryers are frequently used to dry the pellets after un-

derwater pelletization. From this segment, the CENTRO 150 cen-

trifugal dryer that is designed for a throughput of up to 22,000

kg/h will be on show on the fair stand. The CENTRO is particularly

easy to clean and is characterized also by its high energy efficiency.

By comparison with other dryers with similar drying capacity, it

consumes up to 40% less energy. Both the rotor and the rotor

screens are very easily accessible and are therefore easy to clean or
