Malpack adds third cast film line (September 10, 2002)

The cast film business of Malpak (Ajax, ON) has grown 100% since it started in 1998, so the company recently purchased a third processing line from Battenfeld Gloucester Engineering. The new line is 147 in., and capable of processing six 20-in. wide rolls at speeds up to 2000 fpm.
A key feature on Malpack’s line is the innovative, shorter staggered turret design and sturdy construction of the Battenfeld Gloucester Model 12000DS winder. These allow rolls to be wound with consistency at higher speeds, and with minimum vibrations.
