Since its foundation, back in 1961, Macchi S.p.A. has been in the forefront of technological development of blown film extrusion.
Today listed among the world leading blown film lines manufacturers for the production of:
- Agricultural film
- Shrink film
- Stretch hood
- Food packaging
- Flexible packaging
3 Layers COEX FLEX
One of the best known Macchi innovations have been the COEX FLEX “platforms”. All the components of the hot section are assembled on a baseplate, resulting in a compact unit which fits perfectly into a standard container, or under an existing extrusion tower.
5 Layers POD
First introduced by Macchi in 2001, the Polyolefin-dedicated (POD) technology has become a real industrial trend since 2013, when its ability to increase the margins in the tough film market by producing thinner, stronger, better and price competitive films has been fully recognized.
The POD concept, offering unprecedented possibilities of film downgauging, higher output rates and better product performances, is paving the way to new business opportunities across the film markets.
RECOTRIM
The RECOTRIM is a quite unique pelletizing system, developed to allow the in-line recycling of the side trims produced during film extrusion.
A typical RECOTRIM feature is the use of a counter rotating twin screw, allowing the smooth feeding of materials of any thickness. Once fed, the material is melted and plasticized in the screw, without losing any of its physical characteristics
The productivity of the RECOTRIM varies according to the types of materials, and can reach up to 50 kg/h.
