MDO Unit for Breathable Films

January 18, 2002
Woonsocket, Rhode Island-USA

Marshall and Williams Plastics, a division of Parkinson Technologies, introduces their latest generation of machine direction orientators (MDO) for producing breathable films and expanded nonwovens.  Arranged in a vertical stack, this MDO is ideal for use with blown or cast polyolefin films.  Integrated into an existing production line, or coupled with winding equipment for a stand-alone system, this MDO provides valued enhanced products.

Featuring an adjustable draw gap, and individually controlled temperature zones, this machine offers the flexibility to run a wide range and volume of products.  Options are available that allow for compression roll and multiple stage film drawing for even higher orientation rates, as well as for film embossing.  High temperature drawing and annealing is available with oil or electrically heated rolls.

This MDO unit is part of a complete line of orientation products that Marshall and Williams Plastics has developed for MD and CD orientation of breathable films.  The company’s biaxial orientation lab facility in Providence, RI allows customers to develop and produce saleable quantities of film.  For additional information, please contact Andrew Miller @ 401-762-2100, ext. 316.

Parkinson has been serving the nonwovens market for over 30 years with innovative equipment to meet the needs of future development.  Parkinson acquired the Marshall and Williams Plastics Division in the spring of 2000; they are a turnkey supplier of complete biaxial orientation lines for plastic film and nonwoven substrates.  Parkinson is also affiliated with Key Filters, a manufacturer of filtration equipment for the plastics industry.
