New Delhi, 11 July 2022, Vacmet India recently commissioned a third BOPP film line at the company’s existing plant in Dhar, near Indore. The new Bruckner 10.4 metre-wide line with an annual capacity of 55,000 metric tons takes the company’s annual BOPP film capacity to 1,20,000 metric tons. With this enhanced capacity the group intends to enlarge its product portfolio and offer faster deliveries.
The new three-layer state of the art fully automated 10.4 metres line from Bruckner can produce films from 12 to 60 microns. The high-speed line with automated changeovers and automatic consumption of waste shall will help the company in improving its overall efficiencies when running various product mixes and considerably reduce waste.
President of operations at Vacmet India SC Kapoor, said, “This capacity expansion is expected to benefit the industry in terms of meeting the enhanced demand for BOPP films in general. It is going further boost the confidence of brand owners trying to shift to BOPP, owing to its ease of recyclability with the same family structures. The film line also supports thicker films in terms of microns which is in line with the government’s waste management regulations – recommending the industry to use films which are thicker than 50 microns.”
In addition to the newest BOPP line, Vacmet India also commissioned its fourth polyester film line recently. The new line also installed in the same plant in Dhar is 8.7 meters wide with a production capacity of 36,000 metric tons per annum. With these additions, the company’s total installed capacity for both BOPP and BOPET put together now stands at 2,50,000 MTA.
