Film and sheet extrusion machinery supplier Macro Engineering & Technology Inc. (Canada) has had an excellent start to the year 2019. Following the success of launching Macro’s new line Quadex (Bi-axially oriented multiple-bubble lines) in 2018 and adding two new agents in Spain, Portugal, and Mexico, Macro starts the new year of 2019 with tremendous growth on dies, air rings, and winders sales.“We are very excited to start 2019 with unprecedented growth in sales. This is right on track with the new machining capabilities we acquired last year in die manufacturing. It is a reassurance from the industry that we are a leader in supplying extrusion systems and components” says Jim Stobie, Macro’s CEO. Many of these are repeat orders from our existing customers who are extremely satisfied with the equipment they received from Macro.

Macro Engineering and Technology, a leading supplier of film and sheet extrusion systems, has recently enhanced its Quadex™ bi-axially oriented multiple-bubble lines for the production of films with Nylon and EVOH, particularly for bone-in-meat high barrier shrink bags. Macro has developed the process and the right combination of materials for a successful product, and we include this process know-how with the line purchase.

This line offers the latest bi-ax process technology, computer-based automation, and overall control.

Line features:

Different configurations include 7, 9 or 11 layers Ability to run up to three layers of nylon with the main barrier layer being EVOH Film width from 200 to 500 mm Film thickness from 40 to 90 microns Production output from 50 to 150 kg/h Equipped with our newest Quadex™ technology to better tailor the film properties

Macro Engineering and Technology has earned its extensive reputation for delivering unmatched technology, flawless execution and after sales support for the most efficient process with over 60 Macro bi-ax lines running worldwide. The newest Quadex™ line has just been successfully installed at a customer in South America.

On November 22, Canada Export Awards Selected Macro Engineering & Technology, a global supplier of film and sheet systems, as one of the 2016 Finalists in Export Awards Ontario in pursuing growth in international markets.

Macro Engineering and Technology, a leading supplier of film and sheet extrusion systems, announced the installation of a technologically advanced cling PVC cast film extrusion line at MEIWA Embalagens in Brazil. MEIWA is an innovative manufacturer of polymer film in the food packaging industry. “MEIWA was very happy with our first installation of the cling PVC cast film line, but wanted to tweak the second line for some specific requirements. Macro offers a unique value proposition from our competitors in that we custom engineer all our lines to suit different customers’ specific needs, so we were happy to accommodate MEIWA’s requests.” Stated Jim Stobie, CEO of Macro Engineering.

“We wanted a partner that would provide consistent quality, have good after sales service, and would tailor the equipment to our needs,” stated Ricardo Huang, Director of MEIWA Embalagens. “We did not want an off-the-shelf line that everyone else has, we have some unique requirements that Macro provided innovative solutions for.

In addition to the two PVC cling film lines, MEIWA also has a line from Macro to produce polystyrene foam.

This new cling PVC cast film line is capable of producing thicknesses in the range of 8-16μm, with a die width of 2.2 meters. The winder can produce 4 ups across the web at a line speed of 250 m/min. Strikethrough
