Mono-material polyolefin film structures made of BOPP or BOPE with superior mechanical, optical or barrier properties, will be able to supplement multi-layer films made from different materials. A new opportunity is opening up with BOPE. The state-of- the-art materials BOPP and BOPET have a great potential for high value second life products in an upcoming circular economy. So, the life cycle of plastic packaging can be closed, as requested by brand owners and legislations. At Araplast 2021 (15-18 November 2021, Dubai World Trade Centre) German market leader Brückner Maschinenbau will present latest stretching line concepts with significant efficiency increases, energy savings and for future recycling solutions.Brückner Maschinenbau has developed mono-material packaging solutions with the highest possible recycling capabilities.

Film producers can choose between a working width of 6.6 m and an output of 3 t/h, or a working width of 8.7 m and an output of 5 t/h. As the demand for innovative BOPE films is only now starting to develop, film producers will be able to react swiftly and flexibly to market trends: The new lines also have the flexibility to produce BOPP films. One example: Ultra-high barrier BOPP films with a super-thin EVOH coating – allowing packaging laminate simplification and reducing the number of further converting steps.Hybrid line concepts: Combination of BOPE and BOPP productionBrückner introduces two completely new line concepts for the production of BOPE films.
