Macro Hits Indian Soil with Both Feet Running
Macro is pleased to announce its entry into the Indian market with two orders for complete extrusion lines placed during K-2007.
The first order is for a 7-layer blown film line with Macro’s patented encapsulation technology, which provides the unnamed customer with the means to run 9-layer structures. At the heart of the line will be a MacroPack 7-layer die with encapsulation block, similar to that being showcased at Macro’s stand during K-2007. Through encapsulation, the processor can benefit not only for the ability to make 9-layer films but also through the flexibility to run difficult-to-process barrier resins like PVdC and EVOH and to speed up purging times of slow purge resins, such as Nylon. Macro’s encapsulation technology has been proven with similar lines sold in Europe that have been operating with success since the early 2000s.
The second line, a specialty PVC film line, was sold to Jhaveri Flexo India Limited. The line will be custom-built to produce cast PVC for packaging purposes.
