The DXL 120 machine produces Decoplas™ sleeves from extruded plastic and printed film material. The sleeves are then transferred by the exit conveyor to a downstream machine, usually a PTH header.
This machine has been designed for maximum flexibility, allowing a large range of body diameters to be produced.
The DXL 120 comprises 3 modules: a film unwind, an extruder, and a pulling/cutting section.
