US-based Davis-Standard and Italian company No.El have unveiled a way of taking cores out of the converting process - a new coreless stretch film system which, the two companies argue, is more environment-friendly.
“Our combined technologies create a green option that reduces carbon, production waste and costs,” says Roberto Colombo, No.El’s vice-president of sales. “Eliminating cores can save as much as US$360 of the cost per pallet of 360 hand rolls wound on 50mm conventional size board cores. Coreless wound rolls are also smaller in size for the same amount of film, making them easier to handle and cheaper to transport.”
Using Davis-Standard’s extrusion and processing capabilities and No.El’s coreless winding technology, the companies can provide high-speed and fully customisable systems up to 3m in width, with the ability to run more than 670m of thin film per minute. The pre-stretch technology is said to improve roll quality, save wrapping material and be more resilient to damage if dropped, reducing waste and cutting costs.
