PVdC Biax Film Lines for Sausage Casings, Cheese Wrap and Cling Film
Biaxially oriented PVdC film is used for high-speed FFS packaging of sausages as well as for cheese wrapping. The high oxygen and moisture barriers of PVdC impart extended shelf life to sausages and cheeses. These shelf lives are unachievable with other monolayer and even multilayer packaging films on a cost per area basis.
Line Features
Outputs up to 100 kg per hour
Film width between 600 mm to 1,300 mm
Single wound film or double wound film
Gauge between 10 microns for single wound film to 100 microns for double wound film
Sausage casings, cheese wrap and cling film can be produced with the same line, the only difference being the resin used for each application
Each line contains Macro's PVdC extruder, high nickel alloy extrusion die, stainless steel water bath, water chiller, randomizer, bi-orientation section, film stretching rollers and a surface winder.
