Uflex launches extrusion lamination machine for woven polypropylene

Flexible packaging solution company Uflex Limited has launched extrusion lamination machine EL-1300 for woven polypropylene materials. 

Converters servicing the packaging requirements of building materials’ brands confront with a daunting challenge of how to design a zero speed splicing system for continuous operation on woven polypropylene (WPP) as the base web. Converters and packaging companies have all too often faced difficulties while laminating a woven web owing to the troughs and valleys (also called warps and wefts) that are inherent part of the texture. 

As a solution to this, the engineers at Uflex have designed the EL-1300 extrusion lamination machine that seamlessly carries out the process of lamination for woven propylene simultaneously offering the numerous benefits. This extrusion lamination machine is also used to laminate very thin LDPE substrates to woven polypropylene and to paper or any packaging film.

Except for some electrical and electronic parts, most of the mechanical parts have been fabricated and assembled in-house at Uflex Engineering plant in Noida. 

Ashok Chaturvedi, chairman & managing director, Uflex Limited, said, “Our USP lies in the very fact that we are a fully integrated flexible packaging solution company. If on one hand we can offer laminates as rolls and pre-formed pouch, with equal ease on the hand we can offer machines that can form packs out of those rolls, fill the product in them and seal it to your satisfaction too. We also offer a wide array of printing and lamination machines that are capable of carrying out high precision converting processes to make these laminates.”
