PRODUCTS

 

Automatic Air Ring

Automatic thickness profile control of blown film

  • Reducing tolerances by up to 70%.
  • Increasing extruder production capacity by up to 30%.
  • Standardizing quality.
Gravimetric Dosing Unit
  • Increased measurement and dosing accuracy.
  • High degree of linearity throughout the measuring range.
  • Perfectly suitable for modular design.
  • Even colour distribution.
  • No separation or de-mixing of materials as the dosing units are installed directly on the extruder inlet.
Software Solutions For Quality Control
  • Profile measurement.
  • Automatic air ring control.
  • Automatic gravimetric dosing control.
  • Total process control.
  • Built for MS Windows environment.
Laboratory Thickness Measurement Unit
  • Offline film thicknes s profile measurement on a cross-sectional film sample cut from a film reel.
  • Automated measuring process with automatic calibration.
  • Non-contact measurement.
  • Suitable for measurements according to ISO and DIN standards.
Film Width Measurement
  • Ensures constant product quality.
  • Keeps the selected tolerance range to the minimum.
  • Reduces customer complaints.
  • Protects against errors in manual measurement.
Automatic Width Control
  • The ACS width controller has been developed to automatically control the film width on extruders without IBC.
  • The system regulates the volume of air inside the bubble, thus maintaining the width of the film according to nominal value. As a consequence the operator is free to take care of other jobs in the extrusion hall because the system adopts the function of automatic width control.
Upgrades of blown film extruders
  • Increase the kg/h produced by the extruder by up to 30%.
  • Improve thickness profile tolerances by up to 70%.
  • Standardize quality.
  • Increase the quality parameters of second-hand extruders to those of modern extruders.
  • Automation of quality control without depending on operator’s intervention.
  • Reduction of scrap indexes in the production process.
