PIACENZA, Italy—At Nordmeccanica Italy, the completely new family of vacuum metallizers was presented to the industry. During a four day open house, more than 200 guests from four continents visited the Italian corporate location. The event was organized through a demonstration of vacuum metallization of a 115-in. (2.9-m.) wide PP. A second demonstration featured the deposition of AlOx (aluminum oxide) on a PET film on a 59-in. (1,500-mm.) wide metallizer. Each day was concluded with a visit to the coating lamination division of Nordmeccanica for a seminar on barrier coating and a demonstration of thin foil lamination. The lamination demonstration was a repetition of the one given at the grand opening of the new Nordmeccanica location on Long Island in early June: a 0.000196-in. (5-µ.) foil provided by Hydro was laminated to printed PET for those customers interested in lamination.
The newly redesigned family of vacuum metallizers features incredibly fast production cycles and top of the industry output. The new design incorporates innovative solutions allowing for unsurpassed ergonomics, ease of use, scrap reduction and energy savings. The new product line has been engineered in accordance to the Nordmeccanica group technological guidelines. Additional custom demonstrations are available upon request.
