High-Output Air Ring for Heavy-Duty Bags
Air ring exceeds output rates of 1320 lb/hr and targets bags for form-fill-seal applications.
The Ultra Cool 2.0 FFS air ring from Reifenhäuser Blown Film is said to achieve output rates of more than 1320 lb/hr. The air ring is billed as ideal for heavy-duty form-fill-seal (FFS) bags. Reifenhäuser says the output rates generated by its air ring results from high-precision, flow-optimized components and top the industry standard by up to 220 lb/hr.
EVO Ultra Cool 2.0 FFS is said to be suited for all typical film formulations and applications (consumer goods, industry, agriculture, etc.) while offering operator friendliness and high uptime. In testing, Reifenhäuser says film produced on blown film lines equipped with the air ring have outstanding mechanical film properties and thickness tolerances. This greatly simplifies processes to convert the film on printing and filling machines. The air ring also enhances production of fils containing recycled materials.
