Last week, our team had the opportunity to take part in the Barrier Rigid Packaging Event at Cazoolo Lab in São Paulo, which we organized together with Kiefel. This event brought together top innovators in the field, including industry giants like Braskem, Soarus, LLC and Kiefel. Our experts Sofija Bertasa and Dr. Paul Walach Walach informed about the challenges of barrier rigid packaging. The conversations highlighted the critical need for stringent quality standards, a deep understanding of brand owners' post-processes, and the collaborative efforts required to meet these exacting demands. Building on this, customized product development and proof of concepts are essential for ensuring a seamless market entry. Advanced technologies must guarantee optimal operational efficiency, while a flexible line concept is crucial to adapt to evolving market needs. We extend ab big thank you to all the participants and our gracious hosts. Events like these underscore the significance of partnerships between packaging producers, resin suppliers, and machinery manufacturers in delivering high-demand products.

The job of our sales staff is to talk to our customers. It is important to listen carefully in order to understand their goals, as well as their problems and concerns. One topic dominates at the moment: 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲! In its Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (𝗣𝗣𝗪𝗥), the European Union has agreed on prescribed minimum targets for the proportion of recycled content from 2030. This raises the question of how plastics manufacturers ensure a stable and profitable process for recyclates? Rejk van der Velde, Area Sales Manager at Reifenhäuser, explains: “Last week we were at the AMI 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗲. And it was 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲. Especially in the field of thin-walled packaging and films, this can be quite challenging. Impurities in the raw material can have a negative impact on the end product and also increase wear on the plasticising unit and flat die. The good news is, we already have the necessary technologies in our portfolio. 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗵ä𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 provides the entire extrusion hot part, from the perfect barrel/screw combination to the complete extruder and die. Due to our best-in-class wear protection and process know-how, we enable the safe and stable processing of recycled content.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/exnHjS-i

📣 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: To streamline our activities in Southeast Asia, we have just established our brand new Reifenhäuser 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮-𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 in 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗼𝗸 (Thailand). 💪 Asia-Pacific has long been one of our focus markets, where we have numerous regional sales units and sales representatives. In future, all our activities will be managed centrally from our new Head Office in order to offer our customers the best possible local support. 🚀 Many thanks to our customers from all over Southeast Asia who were part of this event. From the traditional inauguration of the new premises to the opening ceremony and the technical workshops around our technologies and products - we had a great exchange and look forward to working even more closely with our customers in the future.

𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗵ä𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅: 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗩𝗢 𝗙𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗗𝗢 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 We recently had the pleasure of hosting an Open House at our customer Bioflex in Mexico, where we showcased our EVO Fusion and MDO technologies. This event provided a unique platform for us to demonstrate the capabilities of our technologies and their impact on the plastic film manufacturing industry. 𝗘𝗩𝗢 𝗙𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆: Redefining Flexibility and Efficiency Our EVO Fusion technology marks a significant advancement for blown film manufacturers. With this technology, operators are less dependent on the input material quality, enabling them to cater to a broader range of applications efficiently. Christoph Lettowsky, Senior Product Manager at Reifenhäuser Blown Film, explains the challenges with post-consumer recycled (PCR) material: "𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑷𝑪𝑹, 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆: 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆." This variability is due to the diverse mix of plastic types and the presence of impurities in PCR, which traditionally lead to processing difficulties and inferior quality compared to virgin materials. The EVO Fusion cures that pain of a film producers using PCR even if the material is of low quality, e.g. if origin is of household collection. With regard to PIR EVO Fusion gives the possibility to recycle scrap not only from extrusion but also converting: Webs like multi barrier film, PET//PE- and PET//CPP- laminates – heavy printed – can be fed to a shredder, where they are cut to small pieces. This material – fluff – is add to EVO Fusion extruder and is processed to a film without cost-intensive pelletizing which saves up to 40 % of energy costs. 𝗠𝗗𝗢 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆: Enhancing Film Properties Our MDO (Machine Direction Orientation) technology was also a highlight of the Open House. This technology enhances the physical properties of plastic films, making them stronger and more versatile for various applications. By stretching the film in the machine direction, MDO technology improves clarity, barrier properties, and tensile strength, enabling manufacturers to meet the increasing demands for high-performance and sustainable packaging solutions: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗗𝗢 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 , because the stretching allows to produce PE films which can be used to relace PET film in multi-material laminates which are made of PET and PE film traditionally. In the end one ends up with a mono-material solution which is easier to recycle. We extend our gratitude to BIOFLEX for hosting this event and to all attendees who joined us to explore how Reifenhäuser technologies can transform the plastic film industry.
