From February 11 to 18, the Colines facility in Nibbia (Novara, Italy) will feature a Polycast plant in operation for the production of 5-layer cast film for lamination and metallization at widths up to 2,500 mm. Featuring low energy consumption, the plant is equipped with three extruders (two with 100-mm diameter and one with 160-mm diameter, each one fed by a 4-component gravimetric hopper-feeder), head with internal splitters up to 450 mm per side, winder for rolls up to 800 mm diameter, and Big Mouth system for inline trim recovery. At full production speed the plant achieves 1,100 kg/hr or 400 m/min. Other features of the plant include automatic thickness sensing and regulation and corona treatment.
