Extrusion lines for flat foils
MEAF lines can be used for:
1) Rigid sheet for packaging disposables
The basis for the packaging of disposable products is a sheet that meets the highest quality standards you desire for your food and non-food products. Whether you are looking for extended shelf life, rigidity for transport, barrier-sheet usage or mono material to optimize recycling (tray-to-tray).
2) Physical foaming of rigid sheet for packaging disposables
When it comes to reducing the ecological footprint, such as reducing CO2 emissions and reducing the consumption of raw materials (plastics), MEAF can represent a solution using physical foaming technology using nitrogen (N2) and a small amount of nucleator.
If you opt for a solution made of physically foamed material, the material properties of the polymer (such as rigidity and scratch resistance) remain intact with the advantage of 20% less plastic material used and an overall weight reduction of 10-50%.
Key benefits of physical foaming:
- Lower material costs (approx. 20%);
- Use environmentally friendly nitrogen instead of butane or propane;
- Total weight reduction of up to 30%;
- 100% recyclable final product;
- Possibility of 100% use of regranulate;
- In the long run, a more cost-effective solution than chemical foaming.
3) Industrial applications for sheet
A wide range of applications (thermo)plastic sheet are commonly used in various industrial settings. Whether it is the vacuum forming of shell cases and cooler liners to highly impact-resistant automotive parts, or even conveyor belts used for example in the food or bakery industry, or advertising signs and exhibition displays, MEAF extrusion lines are able to produce the required plate. Whether it is boards cut to a certain size or winding (thermo)plastic film onto a roll.
MEAF extrusion lines are optimized to work with various materials used in these industries, such as: HDPE;LDPE;PP;PVB;PB1.
4) Physical foaming of sheet for industrial applications
When it comes to reducing the ecological footprint, such as reducing CO2 emissions and reducing the consumption of raw materials (plastics), MEAF can represent a solution using physical foaming technology using nitrogen (N2) and a small amount of nucleator. If you opt for a solution made of physically foamed material, the material properties of the polymer (such as stiffness and scratch resistance) remain intact with the advantage of 20% less plastic material used and an overall weight reduction of 10-50%.
