SML To Demonstrate Its Leadership In Stretch Film Lines At The Plast Milan
As an established market and technology leader in stretch wrap film lines, SML offers production lines for all types of stretch film application – and with a wide range of equipment options and features. One of SML’s most successful lines, the MiniCast, will be shown in operation at the Plast 2026 trade show. Despite the line’s low space requirements, the 1.5 m wide MiniCast is certain to impress trade show visitors with its performance.
In collaboration with DOW, SML will run the MiniCast twice daily, producing ultra high quality films from 100 % polyethylene – fully recyclable, of course. In addition to this, the production of coreless film rolls will be part of the demonstration. The production of coreless machine rolls for high speed wrappers, weighing 16 kg, will be demonstrated at the trade show stand. “We want to show how easy and fast it is to switch from core to coreless production,” explains Thomas Rauscher, Product Manager at SML. To address this, SML has developed innovative methods to control and regulate the tension of the film during the winding.
Technical set-up
The MiniCast machine on show will be equipped with 4 extruders and a 5-layer feedblock in combination with a Reflex die from Cloeren. It also comes with the time-proven 1,600 m diameter single chill roll, a new thickness measuring device, and the widely-sold W4000 turret winder. The 3-up winder version showcased will produce rolls at 3 x 500 mm net film. An ESTL Film Performance Tester will also be available on site, allowing visitors to check the quality of the films straight away.
