New Slitters Contribute to Conversion Quality Trimless Rolls

Newly designed BGE slitters eliminate scrap and increase savings Trimless rolls, those produced without removing the edge of the film before it is wound, can be a real challenge. The material and cost savings that result from the lack of edge trim, can make it an enticing niche to some film manufac-turers. Producing quality film, at the highest possible first pass yield, for con-verting operations makes the difference between success and failure in many markets. The rolls need to be flat, smooth, compact, tight from end to end, and ready for high speed printing and converting. Reliable equipment and a stable bubble are critical. This is where Battenfeld Gloucester’s blown film lines con-tribute to this success.
