During Chinaplas 2025 in Shenzhen (15-18 April), Macchi invited a select group of customers from across Asia to visit its latest installation, located directly at the Guangdong Airbaker New Material customer's facility on the outskirts of Zhuhai in Guangdong Province.
His interest turned to high barrier food packaging films, and after discussions with Macchi's Chinese partner, Rieckermann, Airbaker decided to invest in a 7-layer line with an 1,800 mm layflat and a production capacity of over 450 kg/h in 2021. This line has consistently produced high quality barrier films for export, leading to the decision to purchase a new, more advanced line in 2023.
The new line, installed in 2025, consists of a 9-layer system with a 3,000 mm layflat and a capacity of up to 700 kg/h, and is capable of producing both barrier and non-barrier structures. Featuring a 650-mm die diameter on a Macchi TE710 die head designed to process both polyolefin and barrier resins, the line includes two 65/30 extruders for the skins and additional 55/30 extruders.
