Pilot line extension for all stretching modes ready to use

Brückner's unique technology centre enables comprehensive R&D for all kind of film stretching technologies under one roof. Now the original LISIM®-Pilot-Line (using linear motor technology for simultaneous stretching) has been further extended. Highlights are:

•  A highly flexible machine direction orienter unit (MDO) with
- Direct drives for each roll
- Multi-gap stretching
- Changeable roll surfaces
- Individually heated rolls
•  Additional clips to simulate a chain track for transverse direction orienter  (TDO)
•  A new integrated process control software with several features to  analyse and document the different test arrangements

Thus, for the first time, numerous film types up to 7 layers can be manufactured in all stretching modes, using a wide variety of resins:

•  MD (machine direction) stretching for e.g. tapes
•  TD (transverse direction) stretching for e.g. sleeves
•  Biaxial sequential stretching for packaging and technical films
•  Biaxial simultaneous stretching for specialty films

Film producers can rent the new Pilot Line for their own film and resin development, such as multi-layer film, high shrinkable film, label film, low sealing co-ex film, smooth elastic film, synthetic paper and many more.
