KET’s Innovative 3-Layer Stretch Cling Plant with Liquid PIB
KET have been manufaturing power efficient, high output Blown Film Plants to the fast growing flexible packaging market for over few decades now. KET have now introduced an innovative 3 - Layer Blown Film Plant

 
Innovative, High Performance Technology

The Plant features two 55mm Extruders and one 65mm Extruder. The liquid PIB used in the outer layer recipe is injected into the 65mm extruder barrel using a sophisticated, European PIB Dosing System.

The layers are made of different combinations of LLDPE. PIB gives stickiness to the cling film, helping it to effectively cling to the product to be wrapped. At LFW of 1000mm and film thickness of 20 microns, the plant produces an excellent output of 135 kgs/hr. The film elongation ranges upto 600% in Transverse and 320% in Machine Direction.

The Plant, which is capable of producing films with maximum LFW of 1350mm and thickness from 20 to 200 microns, can give a maximum output of 200kgs/hr in LDPE. Producing films with enhanced optical and mechanical properties, the Plant features state -of-the-art


 
for the manufacture of Stretch Cling Films. This system uses liquid PIB (Polyisobutylene) in the recipe, in place of the more costly PIB masterbatch.

Advantages of the Blown Film Process

Let us examine, why it is more advantageous to use the Blown Film Process to produce Stretch Cling Films.

Easier and economical than cast film process Hump-less      rollspossible on blown film plant (which a cast film  plant      does not have)
Achieves a right balance of critical properties in      Machine &  Transverse directions
Optimizes on properties by individual layers’ recipe
Optimizes on product cost by individual layers’ recipe
Makes it possible to make other similar products      like Masking Film
