COLINES® continues its growth in
the blown film extrusion market by supplying two state-of-the-art POLYBLOWN® lines to the
prestigious company SOFIPLAST,
a market leader in flexible film production in Algeria. Both plants,
currently undergoing testing, are equipped with 3 extruders -3 layer for a
width of 3200 mm.
"We
are pleased to have chosen COLINES® for this strategic supply for our company,"
explains Mr. Gherbi, SOFIPLAST 's director. " COLINES® has proven to be a technologically advanced company,
capable of designing and delivering extrusion lines with top-notch features.
We can say that they have overcome our expectations and even the level of the
lines we have already installed and operating in our production sites."
What
aspects have satisfied you the most? "From a technical standpoint, I must say that
the innovative design of the extrusion die has allowed significantly reduced
setup and die change times compared to what we are used to, even though the
lines we already own are of a high standard. On a human level, there has been
excellent collaboration with the COLINES® team both for the commissioning phase and for the
tests, which ran smoothly. In this phase, we were able to fully appreciate
the collaboration between the technical teams of the two companies, which
allowed us to work under ideal conditions."
The
POLYBLOWN®
3-layer 3200 mm is designed to produce a wide range of products. As a matter
of fact, during testing, 8 different productions were successfully tested.
The line can produce high-performance collation-shrink films and technical
laminating films with an output of up to 800 kg/h, as well as highly specific
products such as "pochette du lait" film, agricultural greenhouse
film, and industrial (technical) packaging film. Furthermore, thanks to the
new gussetting system developed by COLINES® with precise
positioning control through motors and adjustable via encoder, the line can
produce stretch-hood and shrink-hood films.
In
summary, extreme flexibility and high-level production quality are
maintained, while adhering to the distinctive feature of POLYBLOWN® lines: extremely low
electrical consumption. "This aspect is particularly significant,"
confirms Mr. Gherbi, "because maintaining high output levels while
ensuring low electrical consumption, and consequently the associated costs,
are important factors for the goals of a company."
