PFFC - February 2008 - (Page 29) Special Report COATING LAMINATING Always proactive, however, Blatt adds, “We will probably upgrade our brand new Nordmeccanica in the next two years to accommodate a four-ply lamination.” Stanley Sacharow has been in the flexible packaging industry for more than 35 years. His company, The Packaging Group, is an organizer of targeted conferences to the packaging/converting industry. Contact him at 732-636-0885; univpac@aol.com. The laminator’s drying system, composed of two sections, offers high-efficiency ventilation with low energy consumption. This machine also can be configured for register cold-seal processing on preprinted rolls. According to Blatt, “These modular machines are proven designs. Nordmeccanica produces more than 80 percent of flex-pack laminates made with this concept in North America. This is why we…install their machines.” Three-Ply Plus Flexibility The Triplex Combi Vertical laminator (reportedly one of the first of its type installed in North America by any supplier) is the first installation of Nordmeccanica’s recently released upgraded version. It can be used for solvent-based, water-based, or solventless adhesives. Blatt says it is fitted with an very efficient drying system composed of two sections and an extremely precise system that controls the tension. The technology used for the interchangeable coating trolleys allows for a range of uses: lamination, coating, etc. Trolleys are available for gravure, semi-flexo, contra-rotation, polyvinylidene chloride, and solventless processing. uConverter Infot u Ultra Flex Packaging Corp. | 975 Essex St., Brooklyn, NY 11208 | 718-272-9100 | www.ultraflex.com This Is No Place For Guessing Games.
