MI Coated Products Pvt. Ltd., a family- run company headquartered in Mumbai, has recently acquired three Matho waste management systems that were installed at its Ambernath unit. The business, headed up by managing director Ajay Mehta, is one of India’s largest amongst the indigenous labelstock manufacturers. SMI was first established in in Daman in 1993 on a 750sq m industrial plot and now operates from 25,000sq m plot with 13,000sq m shopfloor, converting 1350 tons per month of paper with seven coaters and producing 100million sq m of labelstock per annum. The company exports to 22 countries and has set up a slitting-cum-distribution company in Jebelali Dubai UAE. SMI director Rohit Mehta says: “We continuously strive to invest in sustainable, clean room manufacturing and environmentally conscious practices. Installation of Matho waste management
systems is a step in that direction.” In an evolving current scenario, the labels industry is more concerned than ever with having a cleaner and green workplace. Environmentally- and socially-responsible manufacturers of self-adhesive label material or converters of labels simply do not wish to dump their production waste as garbage, in open or covered spaces.
The slitting trims or matrix waste, which has tacky adhesive on it and is voluminous, is waste that attracts dust and bacteria, so is a health a hazard. It also occupies expensive space that could be used for more productive purposes.
German manufacturer, Matho offers waste management systems to extract the trims and matrix by suction from the slitting machine or die-cutting station to transport it the main equipment to shred the self-adhesive waste without letting it stick to the sides and clogging the pipes and further blow it on to
either collection bags in highly reduced space or compact it for easy disposal. Matho Konstruktion & Maschinenbau GmbH is a leading manufacturer of granulators and waste extraction systems in the packaging, converting, and labels industry. Headquartered in Ellwangen, Germany, the company focuses on the entire waste-handling process. This focus includes the project planning, manufacturing, installation and commissioning of waste extraction systems. The sale of was handled by Matho’s exclusive agents in India, Weldon Celloplast Limited, New Delhi. Commenting on the sale, Weldon managing director Kanwardeep Sahni (KD) says: “SMI is an industry leader that is demanding and opting for the best. It is a prestigious sale for us to have been preferred [choice] by industry stalwart Ajay Mehta.”
