Mumbai headquartered SMI Coated Products, one of India’s largest labelstock manufacturers, has recently installed three Matho waste management systems. All three systems are installed at the company’s Ambernath plant. Rohit Mehta, director of SMI, says, “We continuously strive to invest in sustainable, cleanroom manufacturing and environmentally conscious practices. Installation of the Matho waste management systems is a step in that direction.”

Matho’s exclusive agent in India, Weldon Celloplast, handled the sale. Commenting on the deal, Kanwardeep Sahni, managing director of Weldon, says, “SMI is an industry leader demanding and opting for the best. It is a prestigious sale for us to have been preferred by industry stalwart Ajay Mehta. ”

SMI converts 1,350 tons of paper every month on seven coaters, producing 100 million square meters of labelstock per annum. SMI exports its final products to 22 countries. The company also has set up a slitting cum distribution company in Jebel Ali, Dubai, UAE.

The slitting trims or matrix waste with tacky adhesive attracts dust and bacteria and poses a severe health hazard. In addition, the massive volume of waste takes over the expensive shopfloor that otherwise could be used for productive purposes. Matho waste management systems extract trims and matrix by suction from the slitting machine or die-cutting station to transport it to the main equipment to shred the self-adhesive waste without letting it stick to the sides and clogging the pipes, and further blowing it on to either collection bags in highly reduced space or compact for easy disposal.

Matho Konstruktion & Maschinenbau is a leading manufacturer of granulators and waste extraction systems in the packaging, converting, and labels industry. Headquartered in Ellwangen, Germany, and with more than 25 years of experience, the company focuses on the entire waste handling process – including project planning, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning of waste extraction systems.
