One such innovation is the seven-layer blown film line housed by the centre as part of its technological capabilities. This three-metre-wide line, fully configurable to seven, five or three layers; is even usable in complex packaging solutions for both barrier and non barrier packaging films. For RAJOO, this only translates into fulfilling a majority of the industry's packaging development needs. Heptafoil - RECF-2775-60-50/3000 incorporates advances such as Cylindrical Spiral Die (CSD), multicomponent automatic material conveying, gravimetric dosing and blending, internal bubble cooling with width control, circumferential profile control with elevated air ring and triple lip, full automatic winder and touch screen based integrated supervisory control panel. With a maximum output of 700 kg/hour, this line produces both barrier and non-barrier films.

Further, there is the Lamina RS3X-1430-20/300 - the 5-Layer Sheet Extrusion System - LabEX-Lamina, world's smallest five-layer barrier sheet line, helping simulate commercial scale sheet extrusion process on a lab-scale. The lines are in addition to a wide array of necessary laboratory and quality control equipment.

Beaming with pride, Khushboo Chandrakant Doshi, Executive Director, Rajoo Engineers Limited says, "In our domain, we are the first company in the whole of Asia to have launched such an innovation centre. Already customers from both, India and overseas are benefitting from the facility." To add, RIC facilitates in-house research and development towards further enhancing the quality of Rajoo's machines and validating the company's design concepts along with implementing global advances in technologies.

Comprehending the importance and need for skill development, in a sense, the RIC doubles as a training hub for the plastics extrusion industry.
