Plastic Extrusion Application: Food Packaging Industry
Plastic Extrusion in Food Packaging: Leading laminating and ultra-transparent sheet Technology
Leader Extrusion Machinery Company Ltd. specializes in providing cutting-edge plastic film extrusion equipment tailored for the food packaging industry. Among its flagship offerings is the renowned cast film machine, which encompasses both the cast film extrusion line and the multilayer cast film line.
In the laminating film extrusion process, the film is formed through precise T-die and adhered to the surface of a flexible substrate, such as paper or fabric material, resulting in a composite material that combines the plastic toughness with the functional properties of the substrate. Widely utilized in burger paper, paper cups, coffee cups, etc., this method ensures the product achieves a waterproof and oil-proof effect.
The global food market has a growing demand for packaging which can extend the shelf life of food, especially in Southeast Asia, which has the highest proportion of plastic-packaged food. PET sheet extrusion equipment can produce ultra-transparent sheets, and can also add EVOH and other additives to extend the shelf life of food. It is most commonly used in supermarket fruit and vegetable packaging. In addition, PET is listed as the most environmentally friendly plastic material on the market. The government also actively promotes packaging materials that are recyclable and sustainable for packaging applications in the future market.
Enhance Packaging Diversity: Plastic Extrusion for Food Packaging
The multilayer cast film line elevates packaging versatility to new heights. These films, composed of multiple layers, offer an array of functionalities essential for modern packaging needs. By incorporating additives like antioxidants and barrier agents, or by laminating composite materials, these films exhibit a myriad of properties such as light control, weather resistance, conductivity, and barrier capabilities. Such versatility allows for the production of various packaging solutions, including heat-sealing films, synthetic paper labels, and pharmaceutical packaging.
Both the cast film extrusion line and the multilayer cast film line from Leader Extrusion Machinery Company Ltd. are indispensable assets in the Food Packaging Industry. Their integration into packaging processes ensures the delivery of high-quality, durable, and functional packaging solutions, meeting the diverse needs of consumers while upholding stringent industry standards.
