Raven Industries Installs New Advanced 7-Layer Extrusion Line
April 23 2019 - 11:00AM
Raven Industries (NASDAQ:RAVN)
today announced that its Engineered Films division has completed
the installation and qualification of an advanced seven-layer
barrier extrusion line, referred to as Line 15. This new production
line is located in Raven’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility
in Sioux Falls, S.D.
Raven Engineered Films partnered with multiple
industry equipment experts and worked extensively over the past
year to design and install the new line. With advanced
capabilities, the line was specifically designed to produce complex
barrier structures for secure liquid containment and for the
prevention of intrusive odors, gases and hazardous volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). Raven is currently the leading manufacturer of
barrier technology geomembranes used in the geosynthetics industry
and produces seamless barrier containment films for the industrial
packaging sector.
The new multi-layer barrier line produces blown
film and sheeting up to 28 feet in circumference, with a thickness
range of 4 mil to 80 mils and with optional surface texturing. It
houses an impressive 66-inch diameter, seven-layer die that was
engineered to provide maximum versatility, utilizing individual
extruders for production of barrier structures. With expanded gauge
definition, the new line produces both light and heavy gauge
wide-width film and sheeting. In addition, its enhanced auto-wind
capabilities allow for optimal output of folded sheeting up to 14
feet wide and single-wound sheeting up to 23 feet wide.
“Our new multi-layer line will directly increase
available capacity for barrier film, tubing and sheeting while
utilizing the latest equipment advancements for strategic growth in
complex barrier designs,” stated Anthony Schmidt, Vice President
and General Manager of Raven Engineered Films.
Raven Engineered Films is recognized as a
pioneer in the plastics industry for its development of innovative
polymers through high-strength, light-weight film and sheeting
designs to meet optimal product performance, value and
sustainability.
