Sigma Plastics Group has ordered its 53rd Windmoeller & Hoelscher blown film machine. The VAREX II line will be installed in Sigma’s ISOFlex Indiana plant in Washington, Indiana – a plant that features all W&H lines and is dedicated to producing high-end film.

The Sigma Plastics Group has placed an order for W&H blown film lines for Republic Bags of Houston, Texas, and McNeeley Plastics of Clinton, Mississippi, and completed an installation at ISOFlex Packaging in Washington, Indiana.

In film extrusion, smaller jobs and frequent material changeovers are commonplace.

Windmöller & Hölscher’s 5-layer VAREX II blown film line with the intelligent TURBOCLEAN autmoation module made its debut at K 2016 in October, marking the first and only blown film machine to demonstrate complete job changeovers – including changing seven components, film width, thickness and color – within 12 minutes.
