A Bubble Guard Board for the first time in the Usa

30 March 2016

Primex Plastics Corporation, based in Richmond (Indiana, Usa) and founded in 1965, is a company which manufactures extruded plastic sheets and roll products for thermoforming, building and printing. With facilities in five States from coast to coast and in the United Kingdom, it is one of the largest plastic sheet producers in the US.

A state-of-the-art full optional Bubble Guard Board line by Colines has been successfully commissioned and installed at Primex Plastics headquarters in Richmond, producing sheets for printing and packaging applications. Thanks to the perfect cooperation between the technical teams of Colines and Primex Plastics, the line started successfully in February 2016 producing Bubble Guard Board sheets with a great flexibility allowing “on the fly” width change from 1,220 up to 1,600 mm.

Colines group structure allowed a training program of Primex Plastics team at its sister company Imballaggi Protettivi in Italy during the manufacturing period: this granted a smooth start-up of the line at Primex Plastics premises.

Michael J. Cramer, Primex Plastics Corporation’s president said: “We were very pleased with the whole experience, Colines professionalism, expertise and interaction between the groups. The level of preparation required for a project of this magnitude resulted in no major issues throughout the process and this allowed an early successful commissioning".
