NPE 2024 | EXHIBITION REVIEW
polyester (PET) as a layer to impart strength. This means they can easily be recycled with (at most) 5% EVOH in the PE recycling stream. The robustness and puncture-resistance are achieved during processing in the Triple Bubble process using gentle radiation crosslinking. This acts from the outside to a shallow depth of 5-10 microns, without damaging the EVOH layer or reducing recyclability. As a result, there is no need for an
extra post-processing step, which would
machine or other converting units to create a specific line or function. All units have their own incoming dancer rolls and control panel. The winders are tailored to provide ease of use and complete functionality and flexibility to operators. They offer a range of options for roll labelling, roll banding, and tail glueing, making them ideal for different applications. “Our winders are designed to help customers
improve their productivity, reduce waste and maximise profitability,” said Joakim Sjodin, sales director at FAS Converting. �

Forward Technology introduced an upgraded version of its HD-OSW servo spin welder at NPE, with superior performance, more user- friendly features and simplified integration for automated manufac- turing systems. Among the updates are a revamped electrical architecture and controls, higher resolution touch screen, the look and feel of a computer tablet and an enhanced servo drive for higher performance. “It’s an economical, high-performance option
increase costs. The resultant films are flexible and elastic enough to achieve good levels of shrinkage. They also provide the mechanical strength needed to be able to reliably fill the bags. Triple Bubble lines enable the production of barrier shrink films with up to 13 layers, at widths of up to 3000mm double flat (6,000mm film width). “We have already delivered 150 Triple Bubble lines worldwide,” said Jürgen Schiffmann, CEO of Kuhne Anlagenbau. �

At NPE, Nordson showed a number of innovations – including a melt filter that helps film and sheet producers use more recycled materials and a lip adjustment system for dies. “These are emblematic of our focus to deliver efficient, productive, and environ- mentally sustainable solutions to help OEMs and manufacturers meet today’s production requirements,” said Andreas Wenzel, vice president of Nordson’s polymer processing systems (PPS) division.
that ensures ease of use and integration,” said Brett Raisanen, president of Forward Technology. It also offers easier export of logged data, easier
integration of the machine into plant-wide Scada or other network infrastructure, and multiple communication protocol options for ease of integration. This gives machine builders and integrators the option of using their native control architecture without engineering fees or changes to a standard machine. �
