Sheet Extrusion

Extrusion: Gauge Measures Haze of Narrow, Wide Webs
NDC Technologies is debuting new gauge at the upcoming K 2019 Show that enables processors to accurately and reliably measure the haze of film and sheet inline, and generate real-time reports in real time on this process parameter.

Extrusion: Non-Contact, Single-Sided Film, Sheet Gauge
Applications include a wide range of non-metallic film and sheet up to 200 mils.

Film/Sheet: Web Gauging Products for Sheet, Film
New series of new web-gauging product to boost film and sheet quality.   

Extrusion: Terahertz Sensor for Sheet, Webs
Offers non-ionizing, non-contact on-line measurement that is said to be completely safe and capable of operating in harsh environments.

Extrusion: Compact Extruder Is Potent, Energy Efficient
Small-footprint machine reportedly uses up to 95% less energy/lb of material processed and can typically achieve dimensionally stable product within 20 min. of being turned on.

Sheet: On-Line Tool Calculates ROI for Fast-Change Die
Processors can analyze how quickly new fast-change die pays for itself.

Sheet: Next-Generation System For PET
Optimized extruder, new feedblock options, and Industry 4.0 compatibility highlight new line for PET packaging sheet.

Cost-Performance Options Expand In Cast-Film Dies
Alternative for cast-film applications that do not call for the special capabilities of high-end die.

Pre-Treatment Process for Food-Grade PET Sheet
Device teams with twin-screw extruder to purify recycled PET flake for food-contact applications.

Next-Generation Coating and Layer-Thickness Measurement
Sensory Analytic’s SpecMetrix system can reportedly accurately monitor wet or dry coating or film layer thickness as low as 0.25 micron across a web, performing 150+ measurements/sec.
