For this edition of GULFOOD MANUFACTURING we will present two new additions of the ROTOMAC’ ICEBREAKER series: the groundbreaking ICEBREAKER 167 - the CORELESS - the world's first automatic rewinding machine capable of producing rolls without core and the ICEBREAKER 165 ALF, the automatic rewinding machine with shaftless unwinding stand for mother rolls.

The ICEBREAKER 167 is the turning point in alufoil roll converting. The machine is the only automatic machine that produces coreless aluminum rolls through innovative process. This innovation allows the production of superior-quality rolls, characterized by a smoother and consistently uniform external surface and minimal internal wrinkles. Among other benefits: less costs, less operator time and less environmental impact.
