Microperforation Systems Allow Companies to “Go Green”
with Recyclable Materials for Paper & Packaging
Companies worldwide can enhance their use of recyclable materials for packaging by using micro-perforation systems from Schober USA. The Vent-Perf and VentCut lines of micro-perforation needling and cutting equipment enhance ventilation, moisture release and expansion capabilities of agricultural and consumer good packaging as well as technical materials. They are ideal for produce packaging, plastic “floating row covers”, wallpaper, bakery bags, animal food, cement and fertilizer bags, and nonwoven products including hospital gowns, heated hospital blankets, bandages, smocks, lab coats, and more.
The VentCut and VentPerf product lines can be easily integrated into in-line processes, or equipped with optional unwind and rewind for stand-alone operations. They can be web- or motor-driven at speeds of up to 600 ft/min, and are ideal for paper and film-like web materials. Custom designs and special tools are available for materials like foam, aluminum and more. With VentPerf, up to 600 holes per inch are attainable. Holes sizes are adjustable, and tools for virtually any pattern can be supplied.
