The
leading manufacturer and distributor of packaging in South Africa
Transpaco Specialised Films started their brand-new ALLrollEX 1500
57-Nanolayer™ cast line for stretch film production in
their Johannesburg plant. The first Nanolayer™ line running in the
continent sets a new benchmark for all of Africa. COLINES®
can proudly celebrate the accomplished mission notwithstanding the
troubles caused by Covid-19 and the consequent travel restrictions.
“We
handled all operations from remote – said Anthony Micheal Caprioli, CEO
of COLINES® – both the assembly and commissioning and managed to be on
schedule. Even without being on site, our technicians gave their best
support to Transpaco’s team, who did an amazing job. Nanolayer™ films
have higher stretch ratios and higher puncture and tear resistance,
specially for high speed wrapping solutions. Also, when compared to the
traditional coextrusion structures, Nanolayer™ films feature greater
mechanical properties as well as measurable direct film performance,
such as increased load retention”.
“We
reached an important milestone, as the first stretch film manufacturer
in Africa capable of producing 57-NanoLayer™ rolls – said Ken Harris,
Managing Director of Transpaco – and we are thankful to COLINES for the
great commitment of their staff. We can proudly say that everything ran
smoothly and we were given excellent support by our supplier (COLINES®).
We are ready to hit the African market with our brand new Nanolayer™
rolls”.
