Calendering

Film Calendering

KKA’s machine and equipment concept, in conjunction with a complete knowledge of the products, enables calendering systems to be designed precisely to meet customers’ requirements, and therefore to fulfill market-specific needs. The highly developed, tried-and-tested technology is a guarantee of high availability, and therefore the basis of the KKA calenders’ performance. Part of the success that KKA has strived for and achieved with these machines is the excellent quality of the surfaces, the high throughput rates, and the minimal tolerance in the thickness of the films.
