On display for thirteen days

An open house event - running for thirteen days from February 16 to 28 at the headquarters of Union in San Vittore Olona (near Milan) - will provide the stage for a new line for the production of five-layer PET sheets in widths ranging from 850 to 1000 mm.

This line will consist of a co-rotary twin-screw main extruder mod. ZP 92X/52D with four degassing points, entirely fed with recycled PET flake, as well as two co-extruders, a ZP 58X/48D twin-screw co-rotary extruder, and a TR 75 single-screw machine specially configured to obtain an A-B-C-B-A sheet type.

In order to ensure sheet thickness accuracy from 150 microns to 1.3 mm, the line will feature a new 45° slant calender  mod. FIS, incorporating three cylinders - each with its own drive - and a cross-axis system.
