American Custom Converting continues to invest in assets that provide high-quality converting services for our customers, the latest of which is a JLS-84 Large Slitter from Jennerjahn Machine. This addition provides high-volume small roll slitting and rewinding for a variety of applications.
The JLS-84 Rewinder gives us the capability to deliver a wide range of roll sizes and perforation patterns. Finished roll sizes range from 6” to 18” OD in widths from 6” to 84”.
Cold Needle Perforation
This process creates perforations in materials such as nonwovens, paper and films using sharp pins without applying heat. Cold needle perforation is appropriate when the process calls for the one-way passage of liquids or solids rather than two-way, because the holes often partially reclose after perforation. This cost-effective perforation technique lets air or gases escape and helps avoid bloating in finely perforated bags.
Cold pinned perforation, which is a similar process, uses sharp pins or needles to create volcanic-shaped holes in substrates without applying heat. This process is beneficial for controlling moisture and airflow in breathable packaging for some foods and pharmaceuticals, among other products.
Micro Perforation
As the term implies, micro perforation involves the creation of very small and oftentimes dense patterns of holes. Micro perforated films allow for more precise control of breathability, drainage, and other functional aspects.
