AMUT Sheet, Foil and Cast Film Extrusion Systems
AMUT designs and builds extrusion systems for sheet, foil, and cast film processing—tailored for packaging, industrial, and custom applications.
Differences Between Thermoplastic Foil, Cast Film, and Sheet Extrusion
The terms may vary worldwide, but no matter where you are, AMUT delivers advanced technology and proven reliability for producing all three. The difference between the three is the thickness, and in many cases, the number of rolls used in each process. Otherwise, they have much in common, as all are made using adjustable lip flat dies. Generally speaking, in the United States of America, the terms of difference are as follows:
Cast Film: less than 0.010 inch (ten-thousandths)
Sheet: 0.010 inch or greater
Foils: typically refers to thin cast film, 150 microns and up

“Bottle to Packaging” direct process
We are proud of our contribution to our customers' successful plans, to meet their sustainable packaging objectives by producing eco-friendly egg trays. At Hickman’s Family Farm, you may assist in how post-consumer bottles are transformed into a valuable resource through AMUT-EREMA's “Bottle to Packaging” direct process. Thanks to this proven technology, the flakes resulting from the treatment are 100% food contact compliant and meet #FDA regulations and #EFSA guidelines. The sheet produced from the high-quality flakes will be thermoformed into egg trays.
