Rajoo Engineers Ltd.

Rajoo Engineers participation at IndiaPlast 2019 was a resounding success. With introduction of new technologies. Rajoo set a new standard at the exhibition – introducing NEXTRUSION 4.0 to make industry's tomorrow better, which was indeed the prime puller at our Stand.

The booth was inaugurated by Mr. Rupen N. Navinchandra and Mr. Esakki Rajkumar Subramaniam of  IMBB, Ahmedabad - proud owners of the recently supplied Heptafoil - seven-layer blown film line with output of 1,200 kg/hr and 8,000 mm lay flat width.

HEPTAFOIL- 7-Layer Co-Extruded Blown Film Line, yet another model for Rajoo,  for output of 400 kg/hour was running live at the show producing barrier and non-barrier film in the thickness range of 35 - 250 microns.

DISPOCON-MS - Multi-Station Thermoforming Machine - designed for disposable containers (including hinge lid), dishes, cups, glasses, punnets etc. with forming area - 760 mm x 550 mm; max. draw depth -
150 mm was running  at 60 cycles/min.

LAMEX – Extrusion Coating & Lamination Line- Visitors were fascinated by an operating Lamex-Extrusion Coating & Lamination Line through  an impressive digital form – virtual Reality (VR).

GRANULES – the PVC granulation line was running liver at 800 kgs/hour -, with a screw diameter of 92 mm - 30 L/D empowering the user to process wide range of formulations, high quality output, at low power consumption.

The symphony of three corporate Rajoo-Kohli-Multigraph will foremostly demonstrate to the industry the thought-provoking leadership; product leadership is bound to follow, an industry first.

The flexible packaging industry’s demands were clear; their needs of Extrusion Coating and Lamination Machines were growing and growing fast. They were looking beyond the available solutions at reasonable price points. The best-in-class extrusion and proven web solutions needed to integrate to provide a system that would meet Industry’s needs of today and be versatile enough to be adapted for future requirements.

 In an Extrusion Coating and Laminating machine (ECL in short) a water-based lacquer  is coated on a primary substrate through the gravure process followed by a deposit of PE / PP based molten polymer from a T-Die and then combined with yet another substrate to form a composite laminate. This technology is rapidly replacing many a solvent-based and solvent less laminating applications.

 Rajoo Engineers (well known for bringing in world-class extrusion technology at affordable prices and have developed India’s first three layer feed block and 1600 mm extrusion coating die with internal deckling to reduce edge bead) and Kohli Industries (leaders in rotogravure printing and laminating machines for the flexible packaging industry with a footprint in over 30 countries), comprehended this industry need, and in the best interest of the industry, joined hands to create a formidable alliance to build and maintain one of the most advanced and versatile  Extrusion Coating and Lamination machines.

 As good a product, it needs to reach out to the converters of the flexible packaging industry and there comes in Multigraph Machinery Co. Ltd. (promoted by owners of Manugraph- world’s  renowned offset machine producer) to promote the sales of this first-of-its kind alliance  product on a PAN India basis.

 
“We are excited at this alliance as each one of us would bring in key technology and skill sets for this business to succeed; working to our strengths is the need-of-the-hour. The symphony of three corporate Rajoo-Kohli-Multigraph will foremostly demonstrate to the industry the thought-provoking leadership; product leadership is bound to follow,” emphasise Utsav Doshi and Khushboo Chandrakant Doshi, Executive Directors of Rajoo Engineers Limited.
 

The Rajoo-Kohli co-branded LAMEX Series of Extrusion Coating and Lamination lines will be assembled at Rajoo’s facility at Rajkot complying with the highest standards of design and manufacturing that Rajoo is known for. The result being a wide range of solutions to suit varied applications.

Kaku Kohli, Managing Partner, Kohli Industries, enthusiastically says, “I see this as a perfect pairing and a game changer for the flexible packaging industry in India and across the world. Rajoo’s state-of-the-art technology in extrusion and Kohli’s proven web handling solutions have united to create a range of outstanding Extrusion Coating and Lamination machines.”

Growing demand of Extrusion Coating and Lamination Machines meant the need for a strong sales arm for deeper penetration across the country. Today, Multigraph Machinery Co. Ltd. comes as a perfect bridge for the Rajoo-Kohli co-branded Lamex series of Extrusion Coating and Lamination Machines and customers in India. “It is indeed a golden opportunity for Multigraph to be associated with this Rajoo and Kohli alliance, both being leaders in their respective domains. Multigraph today is a brand on its own, well aligned to comprehend and serve the market needs,” elucidates Hiten Mehta, President, Multigraph Machinery Co. Ltd.

The LAMEX solutions will be truly versatile while ensuring uniform deposition and bonding, it is universal in:

·        Materials: Adaptable to a range of substrates – CPP / BOPET / BOPP / Woven fabric as primary substrates laminated by molten PP / LDPE / LLDPE / EVA / EMA and other exotic polymers with films / paper / Al foil.

·        Formats: Available as variants with speeds ranging from 200 m/min to 400 m/min and widths from 1000 to 1600 mm.

·        Configuration: Mono-extrusion, co-extrusion and  tandem 

Though Rajoo introduced its own version of Extrusion Coating and Lamination Machine, the first machine is up, and running since last 4 months, this alliance will provide unparalleled expertise, technology and service to the flexible packaging industry. The industry will truly see 2019 as a happy new year. Within the next 120 days, the first Rajoo-Kohli machine will roll out to make its mark, as excellence will go beyond extrusion, into the web converting solutions as well. Happy New Year! Stay blessed!
