Cores designed using Radial Crush Technology allow producers to reduce costs and increase productivity by using the right core for the right application.

By utilising our patented Radial Crush technology we deliver a core that is optimised for both performance and cost.
FILM CORES CASE STUDY
Radial Strength Optimisation
Our customer, a protective film producer, was experiencing core crushing because the core they were using was not optimised for radial strength. After field testing, our solution was to use our patented radial tester to ensure we achieved the required radial strength. As a result, our customer saved €300,000 after optimising their cores.
