CHINAPLAS 2022: W&H introduces new digital system for flexible packaging production
Extrusion, printing and converting experts from W&H will introduce the company’s latest innovations for flexible packaging to visitors at the booth, including the new IoT system RUBY.
RUBY is a system with various combinable extensions to provide a customized range of functions for extrusion, printing and converting. With the system, users can digitalize their value chain as well as monitor, automate and improve their packaging production.
Among its film applications, W&H will present its entire blown and cast film portfolio from 3-67 layers with a focus on environmentally friendliness.
As mono-material packaging solutions are on the rise, the demand for the company’s MDO (Machine Direction Orientation) technology also increases, says W&H. Both PE films and EVOH films processed with MDO technology satisfy the requirements of downstream processes and enhance barrier properties, while maintaining recyclability.
As mono-material packaging solutions are on the rise, the demand for W&H’s MDO technology also increases.
Meanwhile, the company will showcase its machines for both CI Flexo and Gravure technologies with water-based inks in the printing sector, offering the benefits of VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) reduction and quick changeover times.
For industrial packaging, W&H will promote its latest OPTIMEX II FFS blown film line for 500kgs unblocked film of three layers.
In converting, the company will highlight its machine portfolio for both tubers and bottomers for paper and PE sacks, including POLYTEX and AD Plastic 2 valve bottomer using hot air sealing technology, the new MP (Moisture Proof) sack concept and integrated channel sealing.
Full-line solutions for wPP sacks will also be shown by W&H as well as by AVENTUS - the specialist for solutions for packing of free-flowing loose goods up to finished pallets, for which W&H has been appointed representative.
In addition to GARANT bag making machines for paper, W&H will also present bag making machines from German Bäumer & Bäumer (B&B) for side-gusseted bags with re-closures as well as for pouches with inline spout insertion and optional leak detection.
