Films
made from ExxonMobil Chemical’s metallocene polyethylene (mPE) resins and
specialty elastomers coupled with advanced converting technology from CMD
Corporation can produce refuse bags that meet a wide range of customer
expectations. Visitors to K2013 can see CMD Corporation of Appleton, Wisconsin,
operate two bag converting lines for refuse bags that use less material and deliver
excellent end-product performance.
Line
A will run Exceed and Enable mPE resin-based film on a CMD 1270GDS Global
Drawtape Bagmaking System and 0330HSW Global High Speed Bag Winder. The line
delivers high-speed conversion of premium-quality drawtape refuse bags on overlapped
rolls for one-at-a-time dispensing.
“Working
with ExxonMobil Chemical, we developed this solution for premium quality bags
that use less material to meet customer requirements concerning product performance,
sustainability and cost,” said Lisa Kain, corporate market manager, research and
communications, CMD Corporation.
Line
B will run PE resin-based film with Vistamaxx propylene-based elastomer on a
CMD 864 Global Bag Machine and Winder. The line displays high-speed bag
converting and winding of bottom-sealed bags in one economical, easy-to-operate
system.
“We
developed this solution to meet customer needs for utility bottom-sealed bags. It
is well suited for growth markets for bags that can be converted on a low-cost,
high-speed bag machine and winder that is easy to own and operate,” said Kain.
For
both lines, ExxonMobil Chemical and CMD identified the film formulation and procured
processors to extrude the film. CMD tested the films to ensure machineability
and product quality.
“Our
testing has proven the outstanding machineability of the films made with ExxonMobil
Chemical’s resins,” said Kain. “The result is a more stable, efficient process,
less scrap and machine downtime, and greater throughput. This can result in
lower unit costs.”
The
CMD 1270GDS Global Drawtape Bagmaking System and 0330HSW Global High Speed Bag
Winder is an industry standard for drawtape converting. It can deliver high-speed
converting of downgauged material while maintaining the premium quality.
CMD
overlapped-bag winding technology can provide process efficiencies and
sustainable benefits for shipping/packing compared with-folded products. The
CMD 864 Global Bag Machine and Winder is a compact, all-in-one system. It
features patented CMD rotary bag sealing technology for high-speed, quality bag
converting. It is an affordable, easy to own and operate system.
Additional
details on both machines, as well as the film formulation and resins being used,
will be available at the CMD booth, G05 in Hall 3 at K. For
