A cast line for the production of stretch film has been recently supplied by Amut Dolci Extrusion to EB Packaging for the factory located in Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. Since 1995 EB Packaging is a Malaysian company involved in the manufacturing and trading of packaging materials, such as stretch film, plastic bags, PE foam, air bubble films and all kinds of adhesive tape.
“We were really impressed about the performances of this machine: we reached the maximum speed of 900 m/min in winding and the maximum line output of 1700 kg/h during the acceptance test. The machine was tested with thin 2-inch cores with very successful results: the rolls were well wound, without tail, at very high speed”, stated Siow
Chew Kiong, CEO of EB Packaging.
“After the tests with 2-inch cores, we proceeded with 3-inch rolls production. We produced perfect machine rolls and even jumbo rolls of 50 kg weight. Amut ProWind 4.0 winder has a system for weighing each roll before unloading so there is no need to manually weight the rolls before packing them on the pallet”, continued Siow.
“Because of the equatorial climate of Malaysia, we are cautious about working temperature of all electronic parts. The solution supplied by Amut is brilliant. Not only the container with electronic parts is air-conditioned but also all the drives for extruders placed inside the container are water cooled, so overheating is impossible”, commented Teo Kee Lin, Executive Director of EB Packaging.
“I think that this is just the beginning of a long collaboration. Through the rolls produced with this new line, EB Packaging will be able to supply top quality films even to the most demanding markets. The order for a second line of same type will be very soon approved”, said Saša Davidović, Sales Director of Amut Group Packaging Film Division.
