Brückner carves new dimension in BOPET film production

04-Apr-09

For the very first time in Chinese BOPET film industry the limit of 400 m/min line speed has been topped. During the regular start-up operation the latest 8.7 m wide Brückner-line of Jiangsu Suqian Color Plastic Packing produced superior BOPET film at a speed level of 415 m/min and above. Due to an exceptionally high MD stretching ratio of 4.7:1 this is based on moderate pinning speeds - and the range for even higher production speeds is open for Jiangsu Suqian Brückner claims. The line start-up took place four weeks ahead of schedule with superior BOPET film quality immediately thereafter. The line is also claimed to exhibit stable performance at high speed. The above start-up highlights the new dimensions opened up in polyester production by the company's proven multi-gap MD stretching unit. In view of this sound commissioning, and the confidence in Brückner`s profound skills, Jiangsu Suqian Color Plastic Packing purchased yet another 8.7 m wide BOPET line from Brückner. As per the company, the multi-gap stretching ensures the customer utmost productivity and profitability through high uptime, output and stability as well as excellent mechanic and isotropic film properties.
