India's First 5 Layer Sheet Line-Lamina

Driven by India's huge potential in food packaging and especially the barrier packaging,

has recently launched a five layer thermoformable sheet extrusion line which can produce high barrier films with Nylon/EVOH and PP/HIPS in a width of 900 mm and a thickness range from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, with maximum output 400 kg/hr.

The Lamina RS3X-1410/1000 is equipped with a dual stroke diverter type hydraulic screen changers with common power pack for continuous filtration of the melt through rheologically optimized flow channels which minimizes residence time and pressure drop.

Outstanding features of the line are its controls systems incorporating Siemens Extrusion package for Plastic machinery consisting of SIMATIC application programs with screens developed with PROTOOL and complete documentation.

The UniTilt polishing roll stack is designed for infinite adjustment from horizontal to vertical position through push button operation, thus ensuring production of variety of sheet thicknesses and polymer structures. The gap between the rollers can also be accurately adjusted thru finely threaded stud and ratchet arrangement.

India is a largely untapped market in thermoformed food packaging articles and with the growth of cellular families and middle class consumerism, the market for long shelf life processed food is going to grow multifold in near future
