Product overviewVAREX II — The customized high-output blown film extrusion line for demanding applications.
Your advantages- Produce a wide product portfolio with a single modular line
- Benefit from one of the largest process windows among comparable machines
- Process demanding applications such as barrier, adhesive and very wide films
Typical film applications- Consumer packaging: food-contact
- Consumer packaging: non-food
- Industrial packaging
- Specialties: barrier films, machine-direction orientation (MDO), adhesive films, wide films
Product informationModular conceptThe VAREX II is based on a modular concept that enables extensive configuration options. High-performance 8 µm PE-HD liner films and 11-layer barrier constructions with an EVOH layer down to 1 µm are within its application range. The line is suitable for PE applications, recycled materials and biopolymers.
Assistance and automationsShort start-up and changeover times reduce raw material consumption and waste while maintaining consistent film quality. The development focus is on productivity, flexibility, ergonomics and sustainability to achieve high output with material efficiency.
