Constantia Flexibles: First MDO system with 12 rollers from Hosokawa Alpine

Constantia Flexibles, headquartered in Vienna, produces monopolymer films based on PE, among other things. At its site in Pirk (Germany), the company commissioned a modern 5-layer blown film line with inline MDO (Machine Direction Orientation) from Hosokawa Alpine. Instead of the usual ten rollers, this MDO has twelve. This gives the film more time to cool down after stretching, which improves the homogeneity and physical properties of the stretched film and is one of the many small building blocks for better film quality. Mono-PE films are recyclable, reduce plastic consumption and minimise the environmental impact compared to composite films made of several materials. In this way, Constantia Flexibles supports the circular economy approach and offers its customers suitable solutions.
