Kiefel: Co-extrusion line to South Africa
German extruder manufacturer Kiefel Extrusion has sold a line to a South African packaging manufacturer. Venk-Pac, based in Canelands, has purchased a Kirion three-layer co-extrusion blown film system. It will use the equipment to produce stretch hood film, as well as shrink hoods and other industrial packaging films. The line is capable of producing film 2,600mm wide, with an output of 400-550kg/hour. Kiefel has sold systems to South Africa since the 1970s – but this is the first line that it has sold to Venk-Pac.
