First WOW Winder going to Berry Plastics

Berry Plastics Corp. (Evansville, IN) will take delivery this fall of the world's first WOW Winder from Gloucester Engineering. It will be installed on a GE 11-layer cast-polyethylene stretch-film line that had been installed at Berry Plastics earlier this year.

The WOW Winder, specifically designed for stretch-film applications, is said to represent a step-change in roll quality, winding speed, winder indexing time, material optimization and flexibility. Reportedly capable of running hand-wrap rolls more than 50% faster than conventional winders, the WOW's core loading and roll unloading is automated and integrated into the winder itself.

"The capital investment in our new WOW Winder is another example of Berry Plastics' "Leading by Design" and our leadership in developing high-end stretch-film products," says John Matuscak, president, flexible films, Berry Plastics.
