SJA Film Technologies Ltd The presentation is really just a brief introduction into what SJA are about. A brief Introduction

The company was formed in 2003 when 4 colleagues decided that they wanted to go it alone and form their own company 2003 – The birth of SJA

2009 Home – 2005 In 2005 SJA moved into the current premises but at the time only occupied half the building In 2009 the other half of the building came available and SJA took the opportunity to take over the whole building

SJA Film Technologies Ltd. Initially performed - Some Slitting Rewinding (salvage work) Limited Film supply – mainly cast polypropylene When they first started the company did some slitting, salvage work and a limited film supply which was mainly cast PP.

Conventional Slitting Conventional slitting remains a big part of the business for SJA with trade slitting forming a large part of this.

Slitting Capabilities Duplex and Centre Surface Winding available Widths from 6mm (2mm on spoolers) to 1600mm Thickness 6µm to 400µm in extensible / non extensible substrates – dependent on substrate properties Unwind Diameters up to 1000mm Rewind Diameters up to 780mm Razor in Air, Razor in Groove, Shear Slit and Crush Cut Web guide facilities available on all machines Conversion of films from SJA Stock to required size Trade Slit customer films as required Films slit – CPP, BOPP, PET, METPET (including ALUPET), HDPE, LDPE, Paper, Foils, Mica, Adhesives and many others. This gives an outline of the slitting capabilities here at SJA.

Additional Services Packaging – wrapped or boxed as required Labelling – SJA, plain or customers own Hot Needle Perforation – all over or strip in P1 or P8 patterns – P160 strip only J-Fold and Centre-Fold – up to open width of 2150mm Salvage Rewinding Label Stock – Facility available to slit, rewind or salvage label stock These are extras to the list of slitting capabilities and we can tailor packaging and labelling to meet customer requirements.

12 & 24 Head Spoolers In response to a query from a potential customer asking whether SJA could do spooling the 12 head spooler was purchased. Then with demand increasing and the 12 head spooler reaching capacity the 24 head spooler was purchased

Comparison Spool 20000m Full shift run time! A conventional red tint pad will have 2000m to 3000m on it and may run for about 1 hour on a machine. A spool can give up to 10 times that production time running for a full shift thus removing a lot of downtime. Can also make large savings in scrap Conventional Pad – 2000m to 3000m 1 hour run time.

Despooler To encourage customers to use spools instead of pads a lot of work has been done on producing very effective despooling units which can be supplied as part of the spool package

Spooling / Traverse Winding Two state of the art spoolers – 12 head and 24 head Spools or pads in a wide variety of formats Unwind diameter up to 1200mm Unwind width up to 500mm Spool width up to 300mm both machines Spool diameter up to 460mm Slit widths 2mm through to 40mm both machines Line and edge guide for precision winding Razor and rotary shear cut facilities Blades accurate to 0.05mm 76mm and 152mm core facility both unwind and rewind Full recipe control on both machines
