A recent case study by ExxonMobil, Poly Rafia, and machine manufacturer SML demonstrates how crucial accurate data is to product innovation. The Mexican manufacturer Poly Rafia succeeded in significantly improving the performance of its stretch film by introducing the new Exceed™ Polymers.
ESTL’s measuring machines played a crucial role in this success story. The use of FPT-EVO made it possible to objectively validate the performance of the new film. The implementation of a continuous testing plan using the FPT-EVO led to a remarkable level of consistency and quality. Close collaboration between the various partners was the key to success.
Here are the results:
- 35% faster production line speed thanks to improved stretch film stability
- 8% lower energy consumption during production
- Improved mechanical properties of the stretch film
- Less waste thanks to a more stable production process
This project demonstrates how ESTL’s expertise and technology help packaging manufacturers push technical boundaries and reduce costs.
