K 2025 Live: A look ahead to film production
How can we make plastics films smarter and thinner in an efficient way? At K 2025, there are some advanced solutions shown to response to these demands.
Wacker is showcasing its flexible sensing film, NEXIPAL Sense. This film acts like a flexible capacitor, generating sensing signals with just a press or a bend. It can be used in robots, medical supplies, and sports products for precise sensing.
Brückner's Greenline biaxial oriented (BO) system is designed to maximize film production efficiency. By boosting the inline recycling of edge trim, it achieves higher production efficiency and material utilization while also reducing energy consumption.
At its 1,100-square-meter booth, Reifenhäuser is presenting what’s claimed to be the world’s thinnest MDO-PE blown film process. This technology is said to be perfect for processing mono-material films, significantly reducing film thickness while ensuring stable production and impressive cost-effectiveness.
