New eight-layer line added at Concord, ON facility

The Packaging Group, has significantly ramped up its manufacturing capabilities with the recent installation and start-up of a turnkey eight-layer blown film line at its Concord, ON facility. The line, which was built and installed by Brampton Engineering, consists of an eight-layer 16-in. Streamlined Co-extrusion Die, Eliminator air ring, 4 + 1 IBC, vertical haul-off, ITALYCS control system and two face-to-face 64-in. turret winders and shaft handler.
According to The Packaging Group’s general manager, Johnny Wan, the eight-layer line allows the company to produce high-barrier film demanded by certain customers and markets more cost-effectively than laminating.
