India based global flexible packaging firm Uflex has launched the EL-1300 extrusion lamination machine designed to efficiently laminate very thin LDPE substrates to woven polypropylene and also to paper/any packaging film.
Capable of being operated at speeds of 250 m/min, the machine features independent drives for all segments of the machine as well as T-die with internal duckling and lip opening up to 1mm.
Uflex chairman and managing director Ashok Chaturvedi said: “We can offer laminates as rolls and pre-formed pouches, and machines that can form packs our of those rolls, fill the product and seal it.
“We also offer a wide array of printing and lamination machines that are capable of carrying out high precision converting processes to make these laminates.”
The machine is equipped with Corona treaters to allow treater integration into flexible packaging extrusion coating and lamination lines as well as chamber type doctor blade for anchor coating.
Additional features of the new machine include turret type unwind and rewind, and AC vector grade motor with digital AC vector drives.
The lamination drum design allows it to maintain even temperature across the width of the machine. It has sleeve type coating nip as optional
Uflex said that the most of the mechanical parts of the machine, excluding some electrical and electronic parts, were fabricated and assembled in-house at its engineering plant in Noida, India.
The company manufactures PET chip for polyester films to specialty packaging films, laminated flexitubes and bags for its customers.
It also provides rotogravure printing cylinders, flexo-polymer plates, elastomers and sleeves, inks, adhesives, coatings and polyols used in the converting process.
Recently, Uflex, in partnership with Japan’s Think Lab, has launched a fully automatic robotic laser engraving line at a facility in Noida, India, to manufacture rotogravure cylinders.
