Sector:
Unique Applications: New Full Production Size Laboratory Line - Our
new facility is a new 1600 mm wide, 11 meters
high, fully automatic blown coextrusion line. It
incorporates four new Macro patents and four new
patent applications concerning: die design, film
cooling, gauge control, oscillating nips, edge
guiding and roll handling. In operation since
October 1997, the lab line will serve customers
for trials and market seeding.
MacroPackv Coextrusion Die System - This newly
developed multilayer die features simplicity and
stackability with improved gauge control and
incorporation of IBC. It has low residence time
and low wetted surface area. These
characteristics make this new die ideally suited
for coextruding highly degradable and difficult
to extrude material.
Model D10 Dual Lip Air Ring - Optimized design is
suited for low melt strength polymers featuring
improved gauge control, bubble stability, and
output. A series of stackable stabilizers shield
the bubble from outside air provides improved
venturi to help stabilize the molten bubble.
Fully Automatic Surface and Turret Winders with
Shaft Extraction - These affordable winders were
developed for fully automatic operations using
shaft extraction, core loading, and shaft loading
in the case of surface winders. These systems
completely eliminate operator handling of shaft,
cores and finished rolls.
High Output Blown Film IBC with Secondary
Cooling - This new system incorporates Macro's
previously patented secondary cooling technology
with IBC. Improvement in cooling output is on
average 30% to 50%. The secondary air ring also
improves gauge control and clarity.
Cast Film Technology with PP and PVdC - This
process incorporates unique double encapsulation
of PVdC. The process enables you to extrude
polymers with much higher melt temperature, such
as PP and LLDPE. This structure with sealable
layer from ionomers or metalocene is ideal for
form and fill, and liquid pouch applications.
PVB Extrusion - First commercially available,
complete production plant for processing PVB
sheet which is utilized in the automobile and
construction industries. This technology features
direct injection of plastisizer, embossing of
sheet surface incorporated in the die, and
ability to add up to 50% scrap with gauge control
at ñ 1®%.
PVdC Biaxially-Oriented Extrusion - This is a
commercially available production line for
extrusion of PVdC by double-bubble process . This
high barrier film is used in food packaging and
sterilization . It features good shrinkage, even
at 130õC, and therefore is suitable for food
sterilization. Macro has already sold 15 of
these 'turn-key' lines in Asia.
ComboPackv Coextrusion Die System - Allows
simple addition to a standard die to increase
amount of layers from two or three to 3 - 5 .
This allows the customer to keep his old die and
extruder and just add new layers as required.
New Grooved-Feed Extruder - For high output and
low temperature, 90 mm extruder can extrude over
1,000 lb/hr of HDPE or LLDPE or LDPE.
New Horizontal Oscillating Nips - It provides
improved stability and rigidity of turning bars
which allows for easy threading, and incorporates
edge guide between two turning bars. This
eliminates wandering of the film in the
oscillator and therefore prevents wrinkling
caused by web wandering. In most cases, no edge
is needed downstream.
Success Stories: During our growth we have made many breakthroughs
in plastic processing technology. For example,
some of our recent achievements include: 1. In 1992 we built the first commercial single-
layer biaxially oriented PVdC film for use in the
food packaging industry.
2. In 1994 we designed and constructed the first
commercial line in the world to produce PVB
sheets for use in the automobile and building
industries.
3. In 1996 we developed the first PVdC extrusion
coating line to produce blister packaging film
for the pharmaceutical industry.
4. Recently we developed the first commercial
PVdC coextrusion blown film line for use in the
food packaging industry.
