Bolloré: “Vores produktivitet steg med 20 %”

The Bolloré Plastic Films Division in Britanny, specialized in manufacturing of ultrathin packaging shrink films and di-electric films for capacitors, was looking to replace outdated non-Kongskilde venturi equipment for trim handling.

The choice of an updated Kongskilde system was primarily based on superior design, low noise level, and pipe fixing with rapid clamps.
