By installing a seven-layer Evolution blown film line from Reifenhäuser Kiefel Extrusion last year in March, Chinese company Greenpak became the first producer of barrier film in the greater Shanghai area. With this investment, the company established by Gang Hu only in 2012, focuses on success based on high quality.
Since the line came on stream in 2013 Greenpak has been producing symmetric and asymmetric barrier films for end products in the strongly growing, but highly demanding food and packaging industries. Greenpak’s start was successful in spite of the fact that they had no experience in this field, says Reifenhäuser.
Qing (Colin) Wang, General Manager at Greenpak says: “Greenpak received very good support during installation, commissioning and production start-up by the German manufacturer Reifenhäuser Kiefel Extrusion. We appreciate the know-how and the fast and good service Reifenhäuser can provide by their subsidiary in Suzhou. The mixture of know-how, support and high quality technology makes the successful start for a newcomer like us possible – even in a demanding market.”
The Evolution line features up-to-date components that meet the requirements of the market and also feature the Ultra Range extruders. Greenpak can process a broad range of raw materials in all layers, such as PE, ionomers, PA, EVOH, PETG, and PP. The W-P winder installed in the line allows to change between contact, centre and gap winding. This makes the winder appropriate for winding also sensitive and demanding films. In order to keep initial training times of operators as short as possible, the intuitive C line control with 24“ colour touchscreen was installed.
Reifenhäuser Group will be present at Chinaplas with a common stand at Hall E1 – stand G41
