district, Nakhon Pathom Province in Thailand.After
the successful launch of the ad*starKON SX and SX + models Starlinger’s
conversion line series for AD*STAR woven polypropylen block bottom sack
production is experiencing an additional sales boost. More than 6.15
billion AD*STAR sacks per year are currently produced on Starlinger’s
block bottom conversion lines installed on five continents. Sack
producers benefit especially from the high operating speed and machine
efficiency: the production output is higher than ever, and machine
downtime is reduced significantly. The continuous sack bottom forming
process and the automatic valve and cover patch roll change during
production allow high operating speeds, while the integrated fabric
width monitoring system compensates fabric width variations and ensures
correct sack geometry. The ad*starKON SX + conversion line installed at
the Lucky Star facilities is also equipped with the optional
new-generation qualiSTAR II quality assurance system. Any sacks that do
not correspond to the defined parameters
are automatically removed, thus ensuring consistent high product quality.
A sack for every purposeThe
durable and highly protective AD*STAR block bottom valve sacks made of
coated polypropylene tape fabric are used for packaging dry bulk
materials such as cement and
other construction materials,
fertilizer, chemicals, plastic resins, sugar, cereals, rice, salt, pet
food, or kitty litter. Due to their strength, AD*STAR sacks
significantly reduce breakage rates during transport and storage and
consequently avoid environmental contamination as well as additional CO 2
emissions and production costs for replacement of the damaged product.
2-ply
AD*STAR sacks with an inner layer of paper or plastic film do not only
prevent moisture intrusion, but also help with dust control. Lucky Star
is one of the few producers of this type of sack which is perfect for
packaging cement or other moisture sensitive goods in extremely humid,
tropical climates. Other advantages of AD*STAR sacks are their
suitability for automatic filling and handling, good stackability,
excellent design and printing options, and resistance to counterfeiting
and pilferage.
