MEAF NEWSLETTER #3 2024

MEAF MOVIE PREMIERE: PHYSICAL FOAMED HDPE INCL. CUTTING & STACKING

Please see our worlwide premiere of a video for one of our sheet extrusion lines producing (physical foamed) HDPE in combination with a cutting & stacking system to make large, individual sheets.

Although we have produced multiple lines for HDPE materials, this was our first for the collaboration between the Italian Agripak SRL and MEAF Machines.

Agripak and MEAF are both longstanding companies within the plastic processing industry and share both the values of family-owned companies, combined with a rich history and a partnership approach with its Customers.

These core-values, combined with the technological advanced equipment made this first collaboration a succes!

 Please be informed that our office/factory is closed from 24 December 2024 until 5 January 2025

For urgent matters during our Seasonal Holiday Closure contact us at service@meaf.com

With more than 30 sheet extrusion lines currently active in the Indonesian market, the availability of both local service as well essential spareparts has become a first priority.

In order to provide our partners with the fastest service and minimal downtime Finson Indomas and MEAF Machines B.V. have further improved our service level by stocking long-lead and critical spareparts in Indonesia.

This upgrade in our local support, ensures that our partners can rely on quick action, fast remedial and minised downtime by ensuring that we have parts available in the country!

We would like to thank the wonderful Finson Indomas team for their efforts to make this possible and we trust that this upgraded service level will further increase the confidence of our Partners and potential customers that MEAF is with you all the way!

Hosting of plastic industry innovators & industry leaders

It is not often that we at MEAF Machines B.V. are honoured with a visit of not 1 but 2 living legends in the plastics industry! We had the pleasure of hosting both Mr Giuseppe Ponzielli as well as Mr Chris Rauwendaal to celebrate together with our colleagues Elwin Houtekamer, Rony D’hollander, Nelleke and Karel Houtekamer the induction of Chris in the Plastics Hall Of Fame in 2024.

Once again from all of us at MEAF an heartfelt congratulations and well-deserved “hats off” for this tremendous achievement!

Planning to visit any of the above exhibitions? We are looking forward to discuss with your our “green extrusion solutions, consisting of:

  1. Energy consumption reduced up to 65% compared to our competitors
    With the production costs of electricity rapidly rising, MEAF’s H-series extruders provide an energy efficient alternative to reduce energy costs without compromising on quality.
  2. Material usage reduced with environment friendly physical foaming technology
    Integration of physical foaming technology from Promix can be integrated to achieve density reductions between 10 – 30% whilst retaining stackability and product strength properties.
  3. Improved recyclability of carpets, artificial grass and automats
    MEAF’s extrusion coating for thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), and others such as TPU and PVB, provides the possibility to produce a fully recyclable and sustainable product backings.For these applications we partner together with EOC Group as compound supplying partner.
  4. Produce monolayer products with 100% regrind and FDA/EFSA approved food grade sheet
    Our extruders are designed to work with 100% regrind incl. bottle-flakes and can assist you with “tray to tray” production.

Our sales team and our local partners are looking forward to meeting you at any of the above exhibitions around the world!
