Rajoo Launches New Machinery

Rajoo Engineers has recently launched a five layer thermoformable sheet extrusion line, which can produce high barrier films with Nylon/EVOH and PP/HIPS. The company has delivered the machine to an Indian customer featuring four extruders, melt pumps, hydraulic screen changers, a unitilt polishing roll stack and fully automatic Siemens touch screen line control to give an output of co-extruded barrier sheets worth 400 kg/hr.

The unitilt polishing roll stack is designed for infinite adjustment from horizontal to vertical position through push button operation, thus ensuring production of variety of sheet thicknesses and polymer structures. The gap between the rollers can also be accurately adjusted through finely threaded stud and ratchet arrangement. Digital indication of gap between the rollers adds to the ease of operation. The line is aiming to cater to the growing markets in processed food packaging with extended shelf life and can also produce lidding foils made of various polymer structures like PP/EVOH.

Rajoo Ties Up With Commodore

It has acquired the license from the company to produce Commodore designed extruders, thermoformers, tools and auxiliary equipment in India and to sell them in India, Asia and Africa.

The first batch of machinery will be on the floor at Rajoo by end of this year.
