Special Film

Individual Solutions for Specialties

Many film innovations start as niche applications and later find their way into broader market segments. Successful film producers often identify emerging trends and application opportunities early, enabling them to enter new markets at an early stage. For us as a machinery manufacturer, this means evaluating the potential of new applications at an early stage, transferring promising concepts into our development activities, and offering dedicated specialty solutions. We combine proven technologies and components with the specific requirements of individual customers, for example through joint development projects and pre-engineering activities.

KARO® 5.0 Laboratory Stretching Frame

With our laboratory stretching frame for mono- and biaxial film stretching, films can be tested in a very simple and economical way, both in sequential and simultaneous stretching mode. This is ideal for:
· the development of new film formulations and materials
· quality assurance for raw materials
· small batch production

Line Concepts for High-Temperature Applications

Various medical applications or components in the automotive and aviation industries require films that can withstand extreme temperatures or pressures. Special raw materials are used here. Appropriate stretching technologies are required to process polyimide (PI), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Our solutions offer:
· high flexibility for different polymers and applications
· even temperature distribution
· individualization based on proven components

Small Production Line (SPL)

Launching new products into specific niche markets requires solutions for for product development and validation, small-scale production for pre-marketing campaigns as well as complete separation from other commercial production processes. Our SPL concept offers:
· an extremely flexible state-of-the-art tool
· simple upscaling options
· pre-assembly for quick installation and commissioning

Developing special Solutions together

Current market trends and social developments demand new packaging and technical applications. The most important requirements include cost reduction, convenience, resource conservation, and product design considerations that support circularity and recyclability. We can master these challenges for new special film types together in joint development projects.
