Since installing a BOBST EXPERT K5 with AluBond®, FAM Ti Inc. have seen for themselves the benefits of the machine and in particular, the AluBond® process which has allowed them to produce high barrier metallised films with a high bond strength to meet their customers’ requirements and given the company a meaningful advantage in quality, consistency, reliability and market differentiation.
The EXPERT K5 in conjunction with the AluBond® process provides versatility and gives great uniformity taking away the challenges that are associated with metallising different substrates. This is important for FAM Ti Inc. as they metallise a range of substrates and since having the metalliser, they have been able to improve their R&D by developing new products and applications for their customers including metallised PLA.
AluBond® developed by BOBST is well-known in the industry for its ability to increase metal bond strength on the most commonly used film substrates, as well as providing increased harrier levels on polyolefin based substrates and is fast becoming the standard metallising process for these film types. As the only company in North America to be able to offer AluBond® coated film to its customers, FAM Ti have had great feedback with customers commenting that they have never seen the high level of bond before that AluBond® provides.
Commenting on the value the EXPERT K5 has brought to FAM Ti, Faisal Younis, Executive at FAM Ti said, ‘FAM Ti’s experience with the BOBST EXPERT K5 has been extremely positive. The machine delivers quality, process control, reliability, and a real wow factor when customers visit our facility. AluBond® gives us a strong competitive advantage, and the service from BOBST has matched the quality of the equipment. The EXPERT K5 has helped move FAM Ti Inc. into manufacturing and created a strong foundation for our next stage of growth.’
