Starlinger delivers 100th lamiTEC

In April 2018, Starlinger delivered the 100th lamiTEC to Fatima Packaging in Pakistan, which has been producing woven plastic sacks for fertilizer, sugar, rice, seeds, chemicals, and other products on Starlinger machinery since 2012. On the one hand, Fatima Packaging uses the sacks to package its own products; on the other hand, it supplies companies in Pakistan and Afghanistan with packaging material. The coating process on the lamiTEC MX ensures that the content of the woven bags is protected from external influences such as moisture. The machine is part of a complete AD*STAR project; this means that the installed capacity of currently around 52 million sacks per year will be increased shortly. In addition to the coating line, the scope of supply comprises a tape extrusion line with automatic winders as well as a printing line rollFLEX PX and a sack conversion line of the new generation ad*starKON HX. The conversion line is equipped with the option microSTAR+, which allows for efficient aeration of the sacks’ content through finest microperforation of the coated fabric.
