HOW MDO TECHNOLOGY FROM W&H PROCESSES MONOMATERIAL FILMS FOR BETTER RECYCABILITY

Monomaterial packaging solutions are on the rise - and with them the technology for Machine Direction Orientation (MDO). PE-films processed with MDO technology fullfill the requirements of the downstream processes: Gloss, transparency and mechanical properties. Our proven MDO technology offers flexibility and quality for producers.

  • All MDO roller temperatures and speeds are individually controllable
  • Adjustable stretching gap (5-60mm) during production for optimized film properties
  • Stretching rate can be set via stretching force or speed ratio
  • Despite the stiff nature of the film, a wide film with excellent flatness can be produced

Learn more about the VAREX II with MDO technology in this new video.
