BOPP line performance reaches 505 metres per minute
Dubai based Taghleef Industries (Ti), one of the leading film manufacturers worldwide, and Brückner Maschinenbau have set a milestone within the BOPP film industry: In Sohar, Oman, Ti`s latest high-performance 8.7 m wide BOPP line is running at a constant speed of 505 m/min with a film thickness of 20 µm. Thus, Ti is clearly demonstrating their strong commitment to continuous technological progress.
The Oman line is one of the most powerful of its kind with an approximate output of five tons per hour.
For the ambitious project Brückner not only provided the complete film stretching line but also an entire turnkey package for the new BOPP production facility: plant layout, utilities, resin storage facilities, peripheral equipment, finished material handling and film recycling systems. The solution of complete engineering along with Ti`s excellent support throughout all project phases have attributed to this success story.
Dr. Detlef Schuhmann, CEO of Taghleef Industries, said: “Our 7th joint project with Brückner has been characterized by an extremely positive cooperation. A smooth commissioning was followed by a stable production at all times and now has been highlighted by breaking through the
500 m/min barrier within short time. With the new line we have taken a decisive step forward to further strengthen our market position.”
