Multilayer film leader Vishakha Polyfab will become the first processor in India to add Brampton Engineering’s AquaFrost® water-quenched blown film technology. Brampton Engineering is a Davis-Standard company and a leading provider of multi-layer AeroFrost® air blown, AquaFrost® water quenched film systems, film winding and many other film production solutions. Vishakha Polyfab has been a longtime Brampton customer, installing India’s first seven and nine-layer barrier blown film line. With the addition of the water-quenching system, the company will be able to improve film clarity and thermoformability, balance orientation, and increase processing versatility with fewer resins.
“We have worked with Vishakha Polyfab for almost 20 years in supplying equipment solutions to address their needs,” said David Kerfoot of Brampton Engineering, A Davis-Standard Company. “Our close and productive collaboration has enabled us to grow together and advance multi-layer film technology in the region. We look forward to their continued success in leading the film packaging market in India and beyond.”
India’s packaging sector has grown exponentially and is one of the most sought after barrier film manufacturing markets in the world.
