High-class coextrusion lines at a reasonable price
The Russian company AlekoMachinery is ready to offer to the global
market high-class equipment at a reasonable price.Today, Aleko is the
largest designer and manufacturer of multilayer coextrusion PE blown
film lines with its own production facilities.
In the modern world, packaging has to meet the highest standards of
quality and at the same time to have low cost in order to reduce the
price of final product. This became possible thanks to new technical
solutions in extrusion. Aleko company has created a machine, which
makes it possible to producemore cost effective packagingwhilemain-
taining high technical characteristics of the film.
Aleko blown film extrusion lines allow to produce HDPE films with a
high content of CaCO3 filler (up to 70% into layer B) or up to 100% of
recycled material. For example, at Aleko extrusion lines, our customers
produce films with layer’s ratio up to 1/8/1. To achieve this, we have
designed screws with excellent mixing abilities, as we tend to adapt our
lines for stable operation on raw materials of any quality. In this way
multilayer coextrusion lines ABA type are especially popular among our
clients.
At the K 2016 Fair in Düsseldorf (Booth 16D03) Alekowill present three
layer blown film extrusion line Aleko ABA-110-45/55 in operation.
Aleko equipment is notable for high performance alongwith lowpow-
er consumption. For instance, the capacity of the ABA with the screws
D=45/55 is up to 180 kg/h when working with LDPE, while power con-
sumption is only 0,27 KW per 1 kg of product. And the extrusion lines
ABC type with screws D=45/65/45 and D=55/65/55 produce up to 320
and 400 kg/h on LDPE.
Temperature difference is an extra power consumption. Therefore,
we develop ourselves software for equipment control. The basis is self-
learning systemof PID control. This solution decreases the temperature
difference and gives additional power economy.
Along with that, Aleko offers multilayer coextrusion lines from 5 up to
9 layers under joint brand name “Aleko-Alpha Marathon” in coopera-
tion with a well-known Canadian company Alpha Marathon which is
famous in the market as a manufacturer of nanolayer film extrusion,
whose innovative engineering solutions allow to produce films with up
to 77 nanolayers.
More than 20 years of experience in polymer industry, allowed us to
accumulate necessary knowledge to feel confident in present and to
create new trends in the future.
Aleko Machinery works so that clients are able to find perfect solution
for packaging production.
Global Advantage™ at K 2016
Davis-Standard, LLC will exhibit the depth of its Global Advan-
tage™ in extrusion and converting technology during K 2016 in
Düsseldorf. Technology being shown includes examples of extrud-
er, feedscrew, die, unwind, and control system advancements as
well as the company’s innovative dsX™ technology and extensive
aftermarket capabilities. As an added benefit, Davis-Standard’s
team will host visitors at ER-WE-PA’s Erkrath facility for equipment
demonstrations. Following are highlights from Davis-Standard’s K
display:
Extruder with QSE Adapter – This 3.5-inch (90mm) exrtruder has pre-
ferred features such as computer designed feedscrews, electrical barrel
heating with air-cooling for each zone, and simplified electrical instal-
lation. Mounted on the extruder will be a QSE (Quick Screw Exchange)
adapter for fast screw changes without disturbing the downstream
melt path.
High Speed Film& Foil Unwind – Designed for thin substrates, this two-
position turret unwind is designed for an 800 meter-per-minute splice
speed for sensitive webs such as aluminum foil at 6 µm. Unique splice
