Reifenhäuser Cast Sheet Coating, suppliers of machinery and lines to produce cast films and sheets, hopes to continue the success of K at Chinaplas.
Philip Neumann, Sales Director of Cast Sheet Coating, said: “We are looking forward with keen excitement to Chinaplas where we will be presenting our innovative line components to the Chinese and South Asian markets.”
The company has consistently expanded its portfolio of line components. Visitors to Chinaplas will see a special feature with the REIcofeed 2.2 Feedblock. Neumann explained: “Our new feedblock model type must not be missed at Chinaplas. The entirely positive feedback of our customers at K and after K proves us right - this technological solution to produce barrier films is impressive, especially in terms of efficiency.”
With the REIcofeed 2.x feedblock the layer structure can be controlled and influenced while production is running. The coextrusion feedblock enables film structures of up to eleven or more layers to be optimally adjusted with the line in operation. In addition, its efficiency can be significantly improved by the integration of a new small element: It allows the encapsulation of a multi-layer film inside the feedblock to avoid the need for an additional encapsulation device in the flat die and the use of an additional extruder – a space-conserving solution and a plus point in terms of efficiency. Film producers can use less energy and raw materials.

Neumann continued: “We are confident to get the same positive feedback at Chinaplas as we got at K. The recent plastics show in Düsseldorf was very successful for Reifenhäuser Cast Sheet Coating.
"We had an outstanding number of discussions that were more than promising. Handshakes were followed by firm orders because of our uniquely positioned technologies that convince our customers.”
Since the K exhibition the CSC team has also sold several lines of complete new inline design to make cups. Neumann said: "This line concept meets exactly the demands of our customers, since the highspeed extruder is even more compact and requires less footprint than before.”
Equally successful was the mechatronic polishing stack of the MIREX MT-H model type for PS/PP thermoforming applications exhibited at the K show. CSC has sold several complete lines featuring reduced changing times and the ability to be used for clean room production - a unique selling proposition that is increasingly being demanded by end users of food packaging.
Neumann concluded: “Asia and especially China are setting new trends in films and the related line technologies. For that reason, customer feedback on our latest developments is extremely important to us. In addition, we want to take the opportunity to discuss with our customers about new products and the steps needed to develop them.”
