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

2. 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

3. 2009
Home – 2005

When they first started the company did some slitting, salvage work and a limited film supply which was mainly cast PP.

5. Conventional Slitting

8. 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

9. 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.
