CORELESS IS MORE: THE ALUMINUM FOIL ROLL WITHOUT CORE
Rotomac, the world leading manufacturer of machinery for food wrapping rolls, presents its new coreless roll: the aluminum foil roll without core. Thanks to our consolidated know-how and experience in the industry, as demonstrated by the widespread presence of more than 2000 machines and solutions all over the world, we have developed a new technology that allows to produce aluminum foil rolls without core. Such technology is integrated into our Rotomac 167.6/340 machine that falls into our ICEBREAKER SERIES: a range of automatic rewinding machines ensuring the highest performance and a reduced environmental impact.
The concept is a snap: no more core, but a simple paper sheet at the heart of the roll. This allows producing higher quality rolls, with a smoother and more uniform external surface and very little wrinkles inside.
Our coreless roll has many different advantages. The main one is material optimization, with a positive impact on companies' operating costs and, most importantly, on our planet.
As a matter of fact, the coreless roll helps companies to use production materials in a more cost-effective way. This is because, at the same production conditions, less paper is used. While a traditional core weighs 27 grams (0.06 lbs) on average, the paper sheet for coreless rolls weighs 7.2 grams (0.015 lbs), entailing a 73% reduction in paper use. Moreover, during the rewinding process no adhesive material, such as glue, is needed because the inner edge is wrapped without using hot melt-glue.
Furthermore, the absence of core ensures a sharp reduction (-87.5%) of stock and logistics costs. At the same time, as logistics costs are cut down, CO2 emissions are lowered too: for the same number of rolls produced, the number of trucks needed to deliver paper sheets is 1/8 the number of trucks that would be necessary to transport traditional cores. In other words, the coreless rolls of aluminum foil are more environmentally friendly than conventional ones.
In addition, the paper sheet inserted in the roll can be used as a powerful marketing tool. As a matter of fact, it can be customized to promote the company's brand or to convey messages to the end-user. Finally, once the aluminum foil roll is finished, the paper sheet can be easily recycled. This is, once more, a real benefit for our planet.
These are just some of the benefits generated by ROTOMAC's ICEBREAKER 167 for the production of coreless rolls, which will be presented on worldwide premiere at Interpack, from 4th to 10th May 2023, in Düsseldorf.
SUSTAINABILITY IS THE CORE, and we are proud to actively contribute to safeguard the environment.
