Kiefel, Wattron team up to develop
GROUP
thin film molding Innovation is life

Why is the
erman plastics machinery supplier Kiefel GmbH and
Ginnovations company Watttron GmbH have signed largest selling brand
a long-term development and research cooperation to
develop “future-oriented” solutions for industrial molding of Compressed
of plastics. Air Dryers?
The Freilassing, Germany-based Kiefel said that the
partnership would seek to develop “unmatched levels”
quality and efficiency, especially in packaging production.
Kiefel, which develops and produces machinery for
processing plastic films, said Watttron's heating technology
will serve as the basis for the development goals.

value for money

Based in Freital, Germany, Watttron is a start-up spinoff
of the Institute of Natural Materials Technology of the
Technical University of Dresden and the Fraunhofer
Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging Dresden.
It has developed intelligent heating systems which can
help reduce material and energy consumption within the
plastics industry. The technology allows precise heating of proven
of surfaces with the aid of square heating pixels.“Each
pixel can be controlled individually. track record in
This allows targeted, uneven heating of the film, and the performance and service
flow behavior of the plastic film to be optimally adapted
to the desired shape,” said the Kiefel statement. Through
the process, processors can ensure uniform wall thickness
and as a result use a "much thinner" film, reducing Call today for any
energy consumption.Kiefel Managing Director Thomas J Compressed Air Treatment Solution
