Additional Layer(s) Upgrades: upgrade your existing line - even other OEM’s Lines Our Die Technology is scalable, which means it can grow with your needs Today you may need to add capacity to make 5-layer films – polyolefins or simple barrier structures. But what if you plan to offer more complex films in the future? High barrier structures need at least 7 layers. Packaging film designers now use up to 9 layers to fine-tune film properties. • Add more layers with the scalable SCD® to upgrade a 3 or 5 layer POD line to a 5, 7, or 9 layer barrier film line • Reuse existing extruders, changing their...

Blown Film Retrofit Capabilities - AIR RING TECHNOLOGY Davis-Standard offers a process analysis to determine potential rate improvement on existing equipment. Factors related to line speed, blower volume, internal bubble cooling (IBC), extrusion and blending capacity are evaluated based on existing equipment specifications. This is a highly economical way to increase existing film line capacity while offering customers the opportunity to reduce their variable manufacturing cost per unit. • Increases output with improved cooling • Better starting gauge than with conventional designs • Digital...

Vector Air Ring Upgrades upgrade your existing line - even other OEM's Lines A team of BE experts has completely re-invented how blown film is cooled, and our patent pending Vector® is the result. Using aerospace engineering and deep understanding of how traditional air rings work, we have developed a ground-breaking approach to efficiently distributing chilled air uniformly around the bubble using a single inlet while controlling the flow to secure stable "bubble lock" and to achieve higher output on your blown film line. • Install the Vector Air Ring and BE eCOOL IBC for higher output better...
