TECHNOLOGY

Since its inception, Merchants has been the pioneer in bringing in state of the art converting technology to the country. These regular infusions of new technology has enabled Merchants to keep its competitive advantage. Following is a short description of different technology available.

Printing

Our Printing Machines (Up to 10 Color) employ a specially designed human interface PLC control system. Double shaft turret type change system on unwinder and rewinder permits for automatic film connection during high speed (Up to 200m/min) running. Superior performance of preheating and cooling circulation system improves material properties. This enables us to print highly attractive and complex designs. The material infeed and outfeed mechanisms employ Dancing Roller Controller, ensuring uniform tension for the entire production line and accurate printing. High printing speed upgrades efficiency and minimizes waste material. This lowers production costs and provides your products with a more competitive edge.

Lamination

We have Wet, Dry and solvent less laminating lines. We also have two extrusion lamination machines. These high speed machines support our high speed printing lines. Major features of our laminating lines are:
  • Reversible high efficiency smooth roller.
  • Extremely uniform coating effect, with no air bubbles during lamination.
  • Hot oil circulation on the steel roller ensures even temperature.
  • High productivity ensures solid laminating.
 

We also have two extrusion lamination lines which are mainly used for pharmaceutical strip foils, paper and paper board extrusion.
