Winding stretch film rolls without a cardboard core

Italian stretch film equipment supplier NO. EL is making available in North America its exclusive, patented technology for creating standard stretch film rolls without the typical cardboard tube core inside.

Previously only available in Europe and Brazil, the new Coreless Rewinder II system will be available for installation by North American stretch film producers beginning in the second quarter of 2008. The Coreless Rewinder II is a key enabling technology designed to help stretch film producers eliminate cost through supply chain simplification, and also helps the users of stretch film reduce their waste, since 100 per cent of the film on the roll can be used for wrapping applications and leaves no cardboard tube to recycle.
