MDO – film orientation lines

Tune your films – the Hosokawa Alpine MDO is a key element in manufacturing high-performance single-material laminates. The advantage with this machine is that you can produce film with a low thickness, and then enhance the strength of the film. Advantages of the orientation process:

• Optical properties, haze and clarity
• Stiffness
• Machinability
• Improved barrier properties
• Improved shrink properties

Hosokawa Alpine’s patented TRIO system ensures ensures the economy of production by optimization of the film thickness, and limits the amount of edge trims. Furthermore, the latest unique vacuum technology is a breathtaking landmark in MDO innovation. It gives by far the highest level of film planarity leading to outstanding reel qualities. The MDO Lines from Hosokawa Alpine can produce blocked and double flat film. Hosokawa Alpine is working in a partnership with other companies to develope high-barrier films that can substitute BOBST and PET laminates. The laminates are developed with the future in mind. They are therefore sustainable without loosing quality, they are saving resources while they improve the film. Read more about it here.
